Casting The next step

Dealing with such a diverse range of people as a Flyfishing guide there are some basic rules in casting.All of us with the basic interest in being a Flyfisher will have that knowledge.

Where do you go from here,do you experiece this ?

See a cruising Barra,at 25ft and by the time you get it together its 45 ft away and leaving.
It takes more then two casts to put a fly in the right strike zone.
Wind has more control of the line then I do.
No way I will be getting the fly under there.
land a fly on a mudcrab at 70ft in two casts

Speed casting,Double haul, Reverse and Forward Drift, The controlled stop, Tight and open loops,Utilising a trailing loop,Roll casting, Accuracy, reverse casts,water hauls and allowing for the wind.

Thats a fair mouthfull but believe me its not rocket science,you can learn all the above which to me seperates reasonable casters from the great casters.

You can achieve very long casts with one false cast,but only when you need it,you can cast in the park with fluent sweeps back and forth (I call this video casting) looks great but this is not for fishing situations.

With this in mind Wayne Williams, Dorothee and I and are extending an Invitation to all the NT Flyfishers Social Mob  (NTFSM)  that we want to have a  morning clinic at the Ski Club (which might be the first,and needing a second) and then later afternoon a  BBQ at our place,there is no charge but depending on numbers everyone might bring something.

Date is either Saturday 24th or Sunday the 25th August (depending on everyones availability) Its a lousy tide anyhow,if you are interested email
