G'day John,

I agree John. Life is too short - as you know.

I'd love to talk you into completing your IFFF CI and MCI journey and would love to help. Maybe you can get down to the lodge at Cressy for the week of CI & MCI continuing Education. August 15 - 19. Details are on my website.

You have much to contribute.

Thanks Peter, so true mate. I started the process but after some "interesting" reaction from some here in Australia, I lost a bit of interest.

Catch up one day.

With skills like his, he might very well be

Peter is Peter is Peter. When you use a chopstick there need be no rotation, You can have pure translation with the chopstick at 90 degrees to the line travel. That means the Translation must be the casting stroke

And .... furthermore.... we cannot be fly casting if we are using a chopstick...... Because we are not using a fly rod Lasse !

I can assure you that there is a bigger picture than the "interesting" reaction from some here in Australia,
I think you should come and play with us... You would enjoy some of the players tremendously John.

The God of fly casting has spoken. Thanks Peter! I'll try the non fly cast. And now the law of conservation of silliness dictates that I ask a silly question to offset my previous serious question (unfortunately Paul and Lasse's inputs don't count because they exist in a sillier dimension), so... Why is it that people in the Southern Hemisphere don't fall off the earth?

Peter, thanks for giving us your worldly casting thoughts I hope you have a wonderful trip to the US. See you next summer somewhere!!

Cheers, Paul

PS to answer Walter's question it's because they have chewing gum stuck to their shoes.

That makes sense. Obviously I need to break out the last of the Unicum. I've been saving it for just such an emergency.

Damned, I missed out this one!

Paul, can you ask Peter to hang on one more answer to my following question, please?

Hi Peter,
thanks for all your fine input here.

I remember to have seen you demoing a special retrieving technique how to gain highest possible retrieving speed. If I remember correct you were using your hands both as a pulley?
I am very interested in knowing what speed in m/s you achieve with it?
And of course ... is there a description how precisely it's done?
I tried it but couldn't nearly handle the friction I got by the line running around my fingers.
Ok, that was more than one question. But all in all it's just one about your fine art of retrieving the line ultra fast.
Thanks a lot!
Bernd
