Re: streamer drag design
That’s not really what I need, Gary. I want something I can cast high speed, floats when waiting for the shot and will pull subsurface when stripped. Sometimes the snakehead won’t look up. But there is not enough time for fly in hand and if the fly sinks while waiting for the shot this is also too s...

Re: streamer drag design
Hi Gary,
Some years back Flavio and I experimented with Lips. What do you use, and what have you learned with this?
We were trying cutting up empty beer cans. It’s what we had available.
Thanks,
Paul

Re: Structuring multiple lessons
I mean sequencing of lessons. I think it has everything to do with sequencing of lessons. For me it would go something like loop control exercises watching back and forward loops. Then very much later (many months, if not in fact years) I would start with hitting targets in the vertical without wat...

Re: Structuring multiple lessons
If I’m really focussed on the task at hand that focus then becomes narrow. That why people who are on their phones all the time walk into lampposts, or have car crashes. If I’m in competition I doubt I’ll even know you are there. I agree Mark, a visual target is best. But when we can’t watch the one...

I threw a snowball at Jason Borger in Colorado while fishing. He didn’t duckIf I threw a ball at you from the side while you are casting, I guarantee you will duck

Re: Addressing My Loch Style Casting Issues
And why is it that a kick occurs? Energy not being able to transfer into leader? Yes it actually kicks back. It’s similar to casting a flyline without any leader at all. There are some videos on this somewhere. I can’t remember if it was Nick or James or Gordy who posted it. I don’t know why placin...

Re: Structuring multiple lessons
I know I’m looking at the targets Vince because I’ve spent a very long time training this. Really learning to pick targets on a distance cast is important. Similarly with a shot I’m always aware of my back target and where it is positioned, despite not watching it. This is key. Distance casting goes...

Re: Structuring multiple lessons
That’s fair enough Mark. I don’t of course and I want to see them develop a closed stance cast as well. Initially being semi-open for everything is fine, because they are developing loop control. But later on I take that and divide it into two initially, with Closed Stance and Open Stance Distance. ...

Re: Structuring multiple lessons
This applies to shots, targets, all casts in fact. It takes a very long time for it to occur subconsciously when shot taking. Consequently the competition target game is an excellent training discipline for learning this spacial awareness (for a more advance caster of course). And then I would move...
