Re: Line configuration affect on rod
the stiffer rod has a larger MOI and needs more energy to follow a given input, and that one of the reasons why one gets a larger tip speed and a larger elastic energy for such rod. Hi Merlin, the stiffer rod feels “lighter” when casting and can be rotated quicker. I assume this is because torque a...

Re: Structuring multiple lessons
Ooh. You’d have to standardise the drills and exercises and then examine someone’s ability to explain them. Then it becomes rather easy. Right now it’s rather difficult and all over the place. Quite unnecessarily IMO. The reason it’s difficult is because there is no map. This makes assessment diffic...

Re: Line configuration affect on rod
That’s what I initially thought too, George. But then Torsten said something different. So I looked up PE and found it’s half the spring constant multiplied by the square of deflection. Something I probably knew 40 years ago but have long since forgotten. And then Daniel gave an opposite example. I’...

Re: Structuring multiple lessons
For me it’s very straightforward, Vince. The first thing to learn is to cast loops. Not loops with 30’ of flyline. But just with the leader, with 1’ of flyline, 2’ etc etc up to whatever it can be. They can play with loops that are tight, open, not straightening, falling to the ground. Loops initiat...

Re: Structuring multiple lessons
It would be interesting to write a CCI exam. All the exams have roots now dating back to the 90s. There has been numerous tweaks and modifications, but instead what it really needs nowadays is a clean slate. For as long as I can remember I’ve been suggesting that the exam should follow how we teach....

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 believe that stored elastic energy would be the same between softer and stiffer rods under the same load. I don’t know if or how the dynamic loading changes this.

Re: Line configuration affect on rod
I normally fish the fly in close when fishing, so have to work the line out again. I think it comes from the big spring idea, that the road loads more with a heavier line, which is true, but this extra loading actually slows the stroke. It’s obviously not what we do when we want to generate high lin...

Re: Structuring multiple lessons
Task 6 in section 2 is to teach one of the CCI casts to a candidate, which can be any task including task 8 or the CCI test. Personally I’ve always thought that half the MCI test should be teaching CI candidates and the over half teaching and demonstrating the additional MCI requirements. Slow to Fa...
