Re: Structuring multiple lessons

Hi John
I also presume the focus of instruction is the specific skills needed to perform that technique.
In my experience p, a typical student who is not a novice will give you an objective such as “I want to get better at dry fly”.

Same question to you Torsten. What constitutes a basic overhead cast and how would you teach it?

Can’t agree more but I wouldn’t put someone on a putting green and make them do it one handed while they learn to putt. What would you say are the basics of making a fishing cast?

Re: Structuring multiple lessons

If is not accurate the caster will not hit the intended target in the forward cast. A quick glance around any fishery will see loads of anglers casting with wide open back loops, usually followed by a tailing forward cast and they will not be sorting it out. Many have been casting like that for dec...

I do something similar myself, I don’t make long winded explanations. How do you enforce accuracy on the back cast?

Nobody has ever told me not to haul a delivery stroke while I’ve been fishing. If they did I would probably have ignored them

How do you teach people to cast a straight stroke?

Re: Structuring multiple lessons

I don’t ever ask them not to watch Paul. As they move through the learning continuum they are required to pay less and less attention to their back cast and have cognitive capacity to take on other tasks such as watching moving fish. If they are not performing the skill adequately, it will likely en...

Re: Structuring multiple lessons

For me I think there are many situations where we need an excellently positioned backcast but we absolutely cannot take our eyes of the front target. SW shots is an obvious example. The fish are moving and if we look back then when we turn around again more often than not they have disappeared! I c...
