In the BFCC tournaments on grass, is the cast distance measured directly from the casting box to the fly, or do you use court edge tapes and measure across to the fly?

From what I saw Lee and family did everything in the run-up to Cumbria 2018 - was there any practical help fro...

Just a reminder of the Instron testing on tippet knots that I did some time back: knots.PNG Although I obviously agree with Paul about the Bimini being the strongest (you can't argue with the data) it is an impractical knot for the flats fisher. Firstly it uses up way too much leader during the tyin...
