Styles and techniques

Great post today. Constan tension casts such as Belgian/austrian/Bebetstroitter, or the sadly forgotten circle/bicicle cast are EXCELLENT casts that are equal or better than OH for fishing in many situations: -Using rigs with two or more flies, for example, a New Zealand with two tungsten nymphs. If...

NOVEL Direction change cast

I am preparing a CI exam in October, and one of the tasks to perform is four direction change casts with room behind. My mentor taught me a cast that I´ve never seen before, he calls it the double back cast. It is extremely easy to learn and to practice, I think it can be very useful to SL members. ...

Re: Instruction program for school instructors

"Hello Sebastian, This made me wondering. Very different here. I know about 3 students in 25 years who gave up fly fishing. I may not know all though, but so many I see again may it be in another lesson, on a hosted trip, a workshop or I meet them fishing wise somewhere at the water. Berndt,ou...

Re: Instruction program for school instructors

Hi Bernd, the six classes are taken weekly, usually sunday morning. They are two to three hours long, depending on the number of students and their learning ability. The idea is that the students build a solid casting stroke from the beginning, hence the progressive steps, each step is passed after ...

Re: Instruction program for school instructors

Thanks a lot Paul for the advice, as soon as we get water at the local pool (it has been under repair for a year now) i'll try to perform puald as you suggest, and make the necesary corrections to the instructions. I've seen the first gear exercise, and introduced it in our second level course, in t...

Instruction program for school instructors

Ten years ago I became the instructor of our local Fly fishing association, ARPEMO (Asociacion rosarina de pesca con mosca).By that time, the former instructor and I as his helper used the Mel Krieger instruction method, beginning with the rollcast, etc. I realized then that the outcome was really b...

Re: New Student / Casting “tune-up”

Thanks a lot Paul, I'll send you an email later so as to download the files. In my learning curve, the moment that changed completely my mind and improved dramatically my casting was when Marcelo Morales, an excellent instructor and sales manager of Sage in Argentina, came to my town for a clinic, a...

Re: New Student / Casting “tune-up”

Hi Paul. I‘ve found that, for teaching, no matter the casting level, students benefit from going back to the basics, explaining every step. I believe that if you know what you are doing and why, the learning process is much easier and effective. For that, I base my teaching method in five principles...

Re: First distance casting practice

Dear John, what a pleasure and honour to receive your corrections and explanations. I'll focus then on not twisting my forearm and using the inddx knuckle on top grip, also in hauling in the wrist rotation (by the way, I'm strengthening my forearm muscles with a 2 kg dumbell). I've seen an excellent...
