Flycasting, so simple that instructors need to make it complicated since 1685

Got a Q++ at casting school, wearing shorts ;)

I would love to give someone else the opportunity.

How challenging is that? I could only imagine trying to get in sync many people.

I think the challenge last time was that we planned for 25 but only had 5 takers :D We’ve had swaps with 40 so I thought it prudent to cap the numbers. And then quite a few people didn’t send. I gave a Sexyloops fly box and flyline to everyone involved. I still have one box to post and waiting for a current address. So it is a bit bloody complicated :D

In a strange turn of events I managed to catch a huge trout (for Scotland) on one of my own fly swap patterns at the the weekend :pirate: :pirate: :pirate: which I tied 6 years ago! Definitely worth the wait!

You can upload them direct so long as they are not 3GB! Just use the image tag normal for ones that are around 800px across (small) or image large for bigger ones. I realise that this is not easy as it could be, :p
