"Casts that Catch Fish" reportedly* will present eight slack-line presentations, five fundamental casting rules, and the roll cast in a fresh, innovative and entertaining manner. Filmmaker Carl McNeil and his wife, Jeannie Ackley, are trying to breath new life into the instructional genre by combining high-quality production values, high-end graphics, and cutting-edge editing techniques.

"Casts that Catch Fish", created by One the Fly Productions, is an hour-long DVD and is due to be released in November 2010.
