I recommend using fire. A flamethrower will remove all traces of dirt

Thanks John. Yes I thought Phil was tremendous. I certainly learned a great deal.

I like French Nymphing. But I wouldn’t want to do it all the time. I do believe it’s easier than some other Nymphing techniques. But done to a high level it’s an extremely high level. I believe I’m more focussed with the FN.

I agree with that Mark. However there is always something above and beyond our grasp. There are many people who have developed a wide range of control but still want to be better. If you have the same student over a long enough time frame you pass through this. I think we go from the loop organising...

That’s not really what I need, Gary. I want something I can cast high speed, floats when waiting for the shot and will pull subsurface when stripped. Sometimes the snakehead won’t look up. But there is not enough time for fly in hand and if the fly sinks while waiting for the shot this is also too s...

Hi Gary,

Some years back Flavio and I experimented with Lips. What do you use, and what have you learned with this?

We were trying cutting up empty beer cans. It’s what we had available.

I mean sequencing of lessons. I think it has everything to do with sequencing of lessons. For me it would go something like loop control exercises watching back and forward loops. Then very much later (many months, if not in fact years) I would start with hitting targets in the vertical without wat...

Thanks Vince, yes it was the second one I had in mind.

If I’m really focussed on the task at hand that focus then becomes narrow. That why people who are on their phones all the time walk into lampposts, or have car crashes. If I’m in competition I doubt I’ll even know you are there. I agree Mark, a visual target is best. But when we can’t watch the one...

If I threw a ball at you from the side while you are casting, I guarantee you will duck

I threw a snowball at Jason Borger in Colorado while fishing. He didn’t duck
