Re: How to cast a pointed loop?
No suggestions here, just an observation. When I see them in photos or watch the grownups throw them at the BFCC events they are not just a tight pointy loop.

Re: OK... Rod configuration effect on the line?
In terms of my short casting , I’m looking at the rod leg and hoping it’s flat and the hoping the other legs stacked up over the top of it. ( tracking ok) I don’t mind round open loops as I get less crashes and they give me licence to adjust my path mid cast. if there’s obstacles like trees near the...

Maybe they all want to be extraordinary fly tying geniuses :D Even before 'on line' was the go to source for new knowledge . 4 or 5 Magazines like Fly fishing and Fly Tying, etc here in the UK, would have these hacks, desperat...

Re: Unproven
That reminds me of something I read once. I seem to remember an article in an early trout and salmon magazine (early for me anyway) where Richard Walker who developed many of the early patterns for the early resevoir scene in the UK in the 60's. He could be a belicose old bugger in print and was ber...
