That sounds great, Vinny! Keep pushing the window. Congratulations on your moment today. I’ve always thought that fly fishing presents us with life moments and that’s why we do it. These moments are indelibly printed in our minds.
Cheers, Paul

Re: Structuring multiple lessons
There is no physical strap. An imposed mental one perhaps. You must have seen it, many times!!Stoatstail50 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 30, 2024 9:45 amIt depends
If it works, do you change it?
I’d take the strap off if that’s what you mean.

Re: Structuring multiple lessons
They’ve been told that the “proper way” to cast is not to use any wrist. Dont think this is uncommon. Many US instructors are being told this and consequently some are teaching it. Now the rod is an extension of the forearm.
If it works, do you change it?
