Re: Sedotti demo

Greetings Graeme! May I enquire: what were the main observations they made? For my own casting, it was that my back cast was aimed too high and causing the tailing loop I could not remove (Morsie taught me that) and that I should place the butt of my rod against my forearm on the long back casts (Pa...

Re: Lines for big streamers in tight places

Greetings. Tight spots, micro skagit. Reporting back after finally fishing this setup for a couple of days. TL;DR: Works as advertised. Longer version: I bought an OPST 225 grain micro skagit for a 9’ 6wt. I looped 5’ of T-8 (40 grains, I think) and 2-4 feet of tippet at the end. OPST specs suggest ...

Re: Sedotti demo

I know I struggled until someone besides me analysed my casting. Greetings Graeme! May I enquire: what were the main observations they made? At this point in my short career, I have trouble taking seriously any distance casting video which does not spend a considerable amount of time on tracking. I...

Re: Spey Casting left handed

Jarmo, thanks for the video, and your suggestion on the Chip cast. But somehow it seems familiar to me, as it looks a lot like the casts I have been doing for years, without knowing that there was a name for it. Greetings! So you are a natural when it comes to breaking the rules if need be; good fo...

Re: Spey Casting left handed

Regarding the backcast and D loop not being far enough behind me, is a bit of an issue… Because I’m standing on the bank, and if the D loop goes too far behind me, then it’ll hit the bank and the vegetation, and the cast will be ruined. When casting normally with my right hand on the right side of ...

Re: The Kick Haul

Greetings!

A couple of years ago I saw Thomas Berggren kick hauling while casting a double-handed rod. When both of your hands are holding the rod, what else can you do?

It did not reach the level of acrobacy demonstrated here, though.

Re: Teaching fly casting compared to other sports

Greetings Mark. Not sure if there’s a specific teaching concept but in independent practice It would be completely normal Jarmo. Whether it’s helping you achieve what you want in the most effective way depends on what it is you’re trying to do. This debate about cues and attentional focus has become...

Re: Teaching fly casting compared to other sports

Greetings all! In motor learning, is there a concept or theory related to internal focus with external validation? I have taken the task to learn body movement sequencing in SH casting along the lines of John and Paul (neither the saints nor the Beatles, but the ones that frequent here). I started i...
