and no, I have gotten way to ugly to be photographed for underarmor. They now have some real athletes.

Paul since you were here, my cast didn't change drastically. I would say slightly more compact, but this of course could be that I am mostly fishing, and don't want to fall off the boat.

Paul, I have not thrown in the barn in 2 to 3 years now. I am serious, I suck. I am glad to hear the Chris is competing again, I had heard he slowed down on the casting scene. He is a very talented caster, next to some guy named Rajeff.

There are a couple of full time fly guides down here, myself, and Eric Glass. Weather here can be a bit tricky. What time of year did you come down? I think Eric was one of the guides I fished with on that trip. I think it was in May but it was a long time ago. I would be surprised if Eric was not ...

Hey Rick, thanks for coming out! Some questions: What do you look for in a rod and line for distance casting and why? Feel free to name names if you like. How does this differ from what you would choose in equipment for fishing? Since Lee brought up the subject of weight training - what are your th...

Hey Rick, After many years fishing I have finally got around to improving my cast. It's going to be a long hard process of undoing years of ingrained faults. Was happy enough until I found this site . :D Now the neighbours are looking at me fishing in the driveway in the middle of Winter. It's the ...

Hello Paul, don't know if I am in good enough casting form to compete at that level right now, I need to start taking it seriously again. I would very much enjoy meeting all the people involved at the championships, most of best friends I have made over the last 20 years have been involved in castin...
