Re: Structuring multiple lessons
So you’re possibly suggesting that we shouldn’t teach saltwater fly anglers taking shots because most anglers fly fish for trout? It’s funny that’s actually one of the main criticisms of the FFI instructor program in that it doesn’t properly represent or teach SW fly fishing skills and there was eve...

Re: Structuring multiple lessons
It is. But isn’t the question then how to teach these? That’s the interesting part.

Re: Structuring multiple lessons
Yep they are not very difficult there, at least nothing like I have read about. It’s a different permit sub species too I believe and grows to the teens of pounds. It’s a cracking fishery however. Pressure obviously changes the behaviour of the fish. I can’t wait to fish and sail those waters north ...

Re: Struggling
Hi Gary, What holds most people back in distance is their backcast. It’s either not straight, or it’s open and the power has been applied through the stroke and not nearer the end with delayed rotation. To cast another ten feet in front you probably need to carry another ~7’ behind (assuming a full ...

Re: Structuring multiple lessons
It sounds awesome to me. I love sight fishing shots. Big fish, tropical climates, feeding the fish. The vast majority of my students come to me because they have a similar challenge and are driven to make shots. If you are going to drop 10K on a destination trip then you want to be putting the shots...

Re: Reel seats and gravity
I don’t fish the DHD yet, although I have one to be built. My question is are there other considerations as in where to put the weight of the reel for best performance?

Re: Struggling
Hi Gary,
I’ll answer tomorrow. Have to be up in 6 hrs. I’ll see if I can explain my thoughts on this afterwards!
Cheers, Paul

Re: Structuring multiple lessons
No no. He’s on the bow end of a boat casting in towards a cliff. There is a ledge and permit are there, heads down, tails up. It’s an 80’ shot with a weighted crab on a sink tip line. Wind can be any which way. The front of the boat is moving up and down. For me that means you have to be a 110-115’ ...

Re: Structuring multiple lessons
Part one I don’t think they do. I don't think they do either...in fact I think it would be massively unlikely in all but the most exceptional of circumstances. Effort is very rarely, if ever, front and foremost in the minds of most casters I've ever taught. It is certainly a concern for instructors...
