I don't want mine to enter the platforms at all. Better fish where few anglers fish. Thats where the big ones are. 😇

The first cast is always the best cast.

Yes, I was asking, because this is teaching a movement pattern I yet never saw anyone doing in fishing. So I was wondering why you'd need to adjust the fluff to be a real fly when yet even planning to teach stuff for just casting, not fishing.
You could tell me to adjust to what your students need. I prefer to believe a proper basement can always easily be adapted into different fishing situations. No need to match fully. We cant (and dont need to) teach every particular situation in giving a basement for best adaption, I think. Even I still have to adjust...

I have a couple of students who compete and so I’m going to have to fully learn and incorporate it to stay current and competitive. I have no issues with that.

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

That’s because of all the anglers falling off the platform and spooking them :p
