We have some brilliant instructors who did their best in teaching fly casting for 40 to 50 years and a few did teach even longer. They have created tons of satisfied students best enjoying their fishing.
Compared to that: Corona was happening "yesterday". Then there is fishing, family, job and so on. Yet we spent very little time and obviously know a shit about teaching thru a digital bottle neck. I have zero doubt, that there is a much longer way of improvements to be gone yet compared to the face to face teaching many of us have improved for many decades.
Bottle neck teaching will not enter the instructor certs for a while, I think. For proper reason!
There is no need trying to put up a battle, which way of teaching is more effective. If I would want that however, I would start to compare the price level (what you get for what you pay) first.

Hi John,
Sometimes we also go backwards because some old ways will be found to have been better than some or many of us may have known. Always goes both ways.

….and some just carry on using it as if there had been no scrutiny, experimentation or research, not even any luck….nothing happened, nothing to see here… carry on…
sometimes with more scrutiny, experimentation and research, or just plain luck, a theory or even an essential, is shown to be incorrect. Some revert to what it replaced, some search for alternatives.
It is basically about sitting in the bellyboat (for example), dropping down a heavy weighted fly or line to get the fly to the fish you watch live on the screen. Most using this equipment, only fish short range distance, because of seeing all fish best here. Such sonar equipment supports catching big fish instead of passing them most of the times. Many call it play station fishing yet. I believe, that most ffm are kept out because 5000 USD for this is a lot of money. Offer it for 100 USD and our fishing will change. We probably would start asking, if it was caught with or without technique soon.Mangrove Cuckoo wrote: ↑Wed Dec 20, 2023 12:20 pm Quick question...
What is "live scope"?
Sonar?
If so, how does that fit into fly fishing?
