PS. I have a flying tank. Your argument is irrelevant.

PSS. How to generate a climbing loop through control of the casting stroke is left as a (considerable) exercise to the reader.

SHFC is current. Looking at Feb 28 for the "done" date (meaning ready to upload to the printer). Not the only project I'm working on, but the one that gets all the attention at the moment.

I've seen what Paul's socks can do firsthand. Like electrofishing, but permanent.

I do clinics if I'm hired to do them (and they fit my schedule). I know that's a bit of a weasel answer, but it's as close as I can come to accurate. I haven't been to the Somerset show in years.

Hi Jason
BTW--I use your name a couple of times in the new book (talking about your work on rod dynamics and so forth). Hope you don't mind. Mostly just send people here to read your articles.
Not at all Jason; thanks for referencing me. There are a few new articles on Walter’s MCI Study Group site, and also on this blog from John Symonds (John's blog). You may have a look at them.

I'm looking forward reading your new book.

Cheers

Merlin

I can't begin to tell you how many casting instructors there are Merlin, simply because they wanted to be better casters. Far better that they go down the competition route IMO but everything in life is a choice. I think that I'm going to give people a 3-month training programme to develop their casting before they come Snakehead fishing!!! :p

So what are the skills that make a great Spring Creek angler in the US, Jason? This sort of fishing is pretty much an unknown for me. Our European "technical fishing" means getting very good at Nymphing!

Have you ever fished for Snakehead Jason? I think you'd love the casting challenge. In fact you must come over sometime to try for Gourami. These fish look at the fly for at least 10 seconds before eating or not!

Incidentally is French Nymphing a bit thing in the US?

Cheers, Paul
It's an exploration; bring a flyrod.

I don't think you're asking stupid questions. I've been asked everything you've asked many times before.
