Due to the 3 months of constant rain, I'm back pike fishing on the canals after a break from the heavy gear of a few years because the rivers are blown out. Two problems have arisen that I needed to sort out in the field. Firstly, my default tight loop casting for small streams causes the fly to kick like a b'stard, oval casting sorted that one out. The more surprising one was that I'd stopped hauling because I was "feeling" the line momentum and backing off the line speed. Fishing became a lot more relaxed with less aches and pains after I changed my stroke to accommodate a long haul, especially on delivery as the back cast can be quite limited.
The joys of changing task and environmental constraints have been noted....again
