Paul Arden wrote:That's interesting Graeme! However there are examples of teaching where we both know that the physics is wrong - anchor loading the rod, double haul loading the rod, etc - and yet this is often by guys who are at the top level as fly casters/instructors. So it would appear that you can still be an excellent caster with false physics!

Cheers, Paul
Hi Paul,

I would offer that their understanding of physics is wrong, not the physics itself.

If they knew more about physics, they wouldn't be claiming those things as fact.

Cheers,
Graeme
