Walter & Group...
I'm wondering if this message came through to all of you.
On August 9th, I posed these questions, but have not received any answers as yet :-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"[GH] All seasoned fly casting instructors have learned to change the way they cast in response to suddenly finding themselves casting an outfit with significant mismatch between rod and fly line ratings.
When I'm confronted with that situation, I quickly "shift a few gears" and simply continue to cast without giving it a lot of thought.
If a student asks how to do this, however, we need be prepared to teach the specifics of how to respond.
Let's see how some of you would respond when your student asks these questions:
1. My fly rod is labeled #6. My fly line came in a box labeled, WF 3 F. I'm having trouble casting to a target 45' away. What changes should I make in my casting ?
2. I'm using my father's fly rod rated at #5. I only have one fly line which is labeled, WF 9 F. I was able to cast OK with my old fly line which was a WF 5 F, but now I'm having trouble making the 65' distance I used to make. How can I adjust my casting to do better ? "
