IMHO, those that cast and reel exclusively from the right side, out of tradition, are a half a bubble from plumb. wink If one is right handed and cast a fly with his or her right arm, does it make sense to you to have to change the rod from the right hand to the left hand in order to reel in line? Of course not! For a right handed caster fly reels should be reeled with the left hand and vice versa for southpaws.

You don't reel in a fish, you reel in slack line.
