Hi Chris The stripping in?? :???: ACCURACY CASTS-ROD HAND ONLY ____ 13. Beginning with the fly in hand, present the fly to targets at 20, 30 and 45 feet (6.1, 9.1, 13.7 meters). The candidate shall begin this task with the line extended to 55 feet (16.7m) and then strip in the line until only 4 to 5...
Hi Chris Prior to starting the task, 55 feet of line (feet to fluff) is taken out. Then you pull in line until only a few feet are outside the tip, take the fluff in hand, and then you are ready to start the task. This way, you have fluff in hand and more than needed line of the reel to accomplish t...
In a headwind, I go for as straight a flyleg as possible, with as much speed as possible. The loop will morph anyway, and shaping loops usually happen after we accelerate the line.
i'd give that explanation a pass. :-) btw, be prepared to not just slip line but retrieve it while false casting as well. at my CCI i was asked to hit ring 3-1-2 (furthest, closest, middle) cheers, marc Hi Marc The test now calls for short, middle and long in that order.
