Re: Structuring multiple lessons
Hi Paul, You have time to rebuild his stroke. You’ll get 10 lessons say and 80-100 hrs of training. .. I don’t know about cost/benefits but most of my students are SW anglers. That's something like 1k€ for these lessons? Sounds like a great business if you can sell it via remote teaching, so no trav...

Re: ICSF WC Flycasting Sweden 2024
Wow, 5K USD. Nils, in my opinion this concept is totally unattractive unless you're member of a sponsored team or rich and famous. Another blocker is in my opinion that you need to take a full week off, not that easy for working people. Maybe the complexity went out of control? For comparison, data ...

Re: Line configuration affect on rod
Hi Paul, Merlin/Gordy were faster, alternatively you can derive it this way: PE= 1/2 * k * x^2 combined with Fs = -k * x (Hooke's Law) -> x = - Fs / k -> PE = 1/2 * Fs² / k and this means if we assume Fs (the load) is constant PE ~ 1 / k PE is inverse proportional to k Ah yes. Because PE= 1/2 k.x^2 ?

Re: Line configuration affect on rod
AFAIK it was ~20m for the long and ~10m for the short one; my premise was however to keep the fly/rod leg straight. When it's warmer I can try to repeat the experiment, perhaps I'm getting a different impression. a short and a long shooting head and I've described my findings in #33 How long is a lo...

Re: Line configuration affect on rod
When we simplify the rod as a spring, the softer rod stores more spring energy for the same load. Sorry in that last sentence I should have written “bend” not “load”. You are correct George. I believe that stored elastic energy would be the same between softer and stiffer rods under the same load. I...

Re: Line configuration affect on rod
Hi, in my case was it a 18g casting plug, a short and a long shooting head and I've described my findings in #33, also somewhere in the archive is the discussion. I've snapped often enough casting plugs, usually this happens after non-smooth acceleration or if you forget to release the line :) My gu...

Re: Line configuration affect on rod
Hi, I remember I had a different opinion on this; also because I tried different line configurations with (almost) the same mass. For an overhead cast they feel very similar to me during the acceleration phase (I've tried to keep the fly leg straight). The inertial mass of the two line configuration...

Re: Question for the FFI MCI mentors and examiners
Hi Paul,
I'd have to try, so the task as stated would be impossible. I'm guessing ticking happens for the large loop size (?)
But have they not done a test run before writing the rules down ?
Greetings,
Torsten

Re: Question for the FFI MCI mentors and examiners
Hi Lasse, just curious, is this task impossible because you can't measure the size or because you can't create the stated loop size? How do they measure the size? Video analysis? Feet to fluff means much less then 50ft fly line? Greetings, Torsten Do anyone have a passing clip of task 2 in the MCI t...
