Question:
Can You Cast With Both Hands?
Option 1: Yes
Option 2: No
Option 3: Yes, but not very well
Option 4: I can barely cast with one hand
This would without doubt be a very useful skill for river fishers. Can you?
Only with the salmon rod.
As per CB I usually cast over the other shoulder.

My old man can, he does it quite regularly when we are away fishing for a week. He's pretty good at it too.
Have to admit have tried but always go back to the right hand.
Over the shoulder, or I have been known to face away from the water and cast behind!

I have tried it but find things difficult not using dominate arm/hand. I am sure most "normal" right handers would too. Takes me all my time to be competent with my "normal hand.

I go with the Bob Hope handgun theory.
"The wind is in the left so I should lean to the right - but if the wind is some other place I will lean across in any direction."
Only with a double hander and even then better off my right shoulder. Was fishing last night and it turned into casting practice, thought I was doing well off my left shoulder so decided to wade across the river and try off my right. Nearly hit the backing given that I'm using a £100 quid soft actioned rod I was well impressed by myself :)
