Re: Loop Dynamics
I'm curious. I have very little familiarity with losses of that nature. I expect that the majority of the losses would occur when the line first bends (enters the loop) and when it straightens (leaves the loop). Have you got any information that would help bring me up to speed on that? Thanks! Paul...

Re: Loop Dynamics
Pearson's model.JPG Pearson’s model is similar to Gatti Bono's analytical model. The graphic illustrates the fly leg speed history in no air drag conditions for the level line you described. The calculation is stopped as the fly leg length reaches zero (there is only the loop left). Merlin I think ...

Re: Gaze Behaviours in Fly Casting Accuracy
When I practice competition accuracy I often just put small cones out and then either Tracy or I (depending on who's casting) measure how far from the cone the fluff lands - actually we have a tape marked as '5', '3' and '1' at the radius of the world championship hoops - this makes scoring quick an...

Re: Today's FP... Tough Going
Hi Gary, Apologies - I've just seen this now. We don't actually monitor the temperature but obviously we can feel it on our legs. There have definitely been flats that have been too hot - that wading through bath-water type feeling. I've also spoken to some friends who live on the island and they ha...

Re: Weighted flies training time
I'm always slightly surprised at how much difference the terminal tackle I'm using here in the Bahamas makes to my cast, i.e. a substantial 'budgie' of a fly with 20 inches of thick wire (with split rings etc). Firstly, any attempt at a roll cast pick-up is doomed to a humiliating failure. As such, ...

Re: Conservation Of Angular Momentum (COAM)
I thought it had been agreed that, in the real world cast, coam doesn’t exist. A quick comment before analyzing your post in details: COAM does not exist since there are external forces acting on the loop, One of the issues with this type of discussion is the desire to over simplify things. Unfortu...

Re: Conservation Of Angular Momentum (COAM)
I'll also add another note here about how care is needed in physics whilst swapping between systems and how you need to be careful with certain observations and conclusions. A good example is Newton's cradle. Imagine just tracking the motion of the first ball bearing only, when it has been lifted an...

Re: Conservation Of Angular Momentum (COAM)
I'd like to put in a point of clarification here also; the formula for evaluating angular momentum doesn't actually contain a term for the angle change, just mass and radius, this is an important thing to remember. People can get drawn into thinking they want to see something rotating around a full ...
