Yo Gents,
And what if I stand in deeper water? Should I buy a shorter line, longer rod or move wider?
Cheers

Happy New Year Paul, I'm looking forward to see you in August. :pirate: About the line numbers. I understand this problem very well. Just think that "#" numbers, whatever they are, are not a very good way to help Angler Joe. Maybe SH Joe needs to learn what every TH Joe already knows about...

Hi Gents, Sorry to interrupt your discussion, but who cares about EFFTA numbers? This is primarily the problem of the fishing industry and shopkeepers, maybe tournament casters and instructors. As a fly fisherman I'm just interested in length, mass and profile of the line I cast, depending on the fl...

We have an old saying in Germany: It's hard to get the doctor title but it's much harder to loose it afterwards. I hardly doubt that having to pay a fee to keep the doctor title would find any acceptance in Germany! You need to get involved in serious crime to loose it as far as I know. ... ... Pay...

Partly familiar with Paul's lifestyle and requirements, this is the perfect camera for him in combination with good mobile phone and Go-Pro Silver for rain and underwater. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGZ8bHre2qs Whatever you heard or read about this funny thing, it produces excellent pictures and...

Hi, We do not necessarily need a professional DSLR or video cammera for our casting analysis. Among others there is a Sony RX100 Mark IV pocket camera that captures 1,000 fps, but only for a few seconds. This is 20X slow motion, but not very practical. Similarly with RX 10 Mark II which is basically...

Massew, this are TH line standards. Consider that 325 grains Chucker is too heavy for 7 wt SH rod. I believe some people here can give you much better advice. From my experience, shorter Skagit head about 250 grains is what you need. For salmon you swing flies. When you fish for trout with streamers...

Paul, With all respect for EFFTA, from a practical point of view, I really do not care for their standards. Especially for numbers based on 10 yards of some imaginary line made for the "average caster". Give me the weight, length, profile and density of the "rope", rest does not ...

Let's not start with a Switch Rod :p start with a 9ft rod! A seven weight line at 30 ft weighs 185 grains and Massew has already stated he doesn't want to use shooting heads. You can use a short belly line of course! The easiest Double Spey cast is a 90 degree angle change. Cheers Paul Hi Paul. Amb...

Done for 70 ft (21 m)! But we can play for a beer for any reason, anytime. Two or three times if necessary. :p :p About double spey distance, will you believe me if I take tape measure tomorrow, several lines and sticks and do some videos for you? Lets start with Sage One 4116 switch rod, 275 gr Tro...
