Re: Structuring multiple lessons
But it doesn’t seem to matter if we introduce Speys before Presentations, or Wind Casts before Shots. Bow and Arrow Cast and B&A Rolls can be included anywhere, although the most logical place to insert them is in Presentations. I don’t have the opportunity to do structured training this way bu...

Re: Structuring multiple lessons
I don’t agree however that it’s always the case that it’s an instructors fault if a caster goes down that track. One of mine went down this path on their own last weekend, he was naturally very analytical and detail orientated individual. I think we default to it as instructors because it’s an obvi...

Re: Structuring multiple lessons
All of the above had similarities but definite differences, and none of the info jibed very well with commonly held theories on casting here on SL... which I think is more advanced BTW. But, apparently, all the disparate ideas seem to help folks become better casters. Could it be so simple as havin...

Re: Structuring multiple lessons
It’s interesting how often the solutions can be found in different casts. I actually think that’s the best way to teach. Fix the problem in another (new) cast and then transfer it across........Too easily we can get stuck in a rut. It's an interesting one because my student began to overthink the c...

Structuring multiple lessons
Great article Paul. I think that what we are teaching is increasing the range of controlled movement and stimulating the grey matter with differential learning. The subject material is almost immaterial, I took a beginner through roll cast to snake roll this weekend in consecutive steps to unfreeze ...

Re: Line configuration affect on rod
I suspect 99% of the guys casting a fly rod have no concept of the need to get the line ‘positioned right’, nor even what ‘right’ entails. It is just not emphasized (at least from what I’ve seen/read) as an essential concept. It seems, rather, that instruction is aimed at making it happen indirectl...

Re: Unproven
I guess I’ll have to rename my variant to “Elk Hair Sedge made with deer hair”

I name all my flies even if I haven’t fished them. I’ll call them “pile of shite”, “hope it doesn’t fall to bits” and “needs more glue”.
