Ive fished and guided in many different places for Atlantics, Russia, Iceland, Canada, Norway and the UK. Ive been part of parties on Ponoi in Russia that over different weeks have landed between 700 and 1000+ salmon per week to 20 rods, thats a lot of fish landed and many more hooked and lost. Ive ...

Its not a 65 ft hd. It's @ 65 ft. So leader (13ft) plus line (38ft), plus rod (14ft), and I like to run with a minimum of 3ft of overhang, so plenty of margin. I'm getting on top of it, had a good session today. Put more "slope" into the tip path and focused on getting this anchor placeme...

It's OK with sustained anchor casts and Skagit heads, but there is very little room for margin with Scandi heads, especially with the V. Hence me wanting to see someone doing it. Sorry Morsie Im just not understanding your problem or some of the descriptions. To me a Scandi head is something in the...

Hi Alan The THCI test for the FFI is a shorter rod and shorter line test than the old THCI, which is now called the THMCI. Anchor placement and points are sketched out at the last page of the test.

It should be mostly leader, some fly line is permissable, and my leader for this task is 13ft long. Thats interesting, I always think of the anchor being fly line. The amount would depend on the rod and line length as a bigger and heavier two handed rod d-loop will takes more anchoring than a small...

Finding that sweet spot between height, speed, and shape (tip path) is the issue. More height needs less speed and vice versa and so long as you main the same tip path. if you change the tip path then the same still applies but the tempo might need to change. I think an inconsistent tip path can of...

How big/long should the anchor be and what should it be made of, leader or fly line?

The position of Point P is easily controlled, why dont you move it to where you want it to be?

Are you preparing for a THCI? if so where do they want Point P?

Sorry I dont know of any clips Morsie but it should be a fairly easy subject to talk about. As with any shape the fly line makes its as a result of the rod tip path that was used to move the line and in the case of v-loops its no different. Whatever type of d-loop forming move we make regardless of ...
