Subject: Slack line casts.....mini-quiz
Date: Fri, 30 Dec 2005 21:16:23 -0500
Hi, Group:
Let's have a mini-quiz on SLACK LINE CASTS.
1.) What is the usual purpose for slack line casts ?
2.) Can you come up with at least 2 synonyms for the PILE CAST ?
3.) Describe your way of making the pile cast.
4.) Can you name or describe at least 3 other techniques, casts, or mends to yield a slack line/leader layout ?
5.) What leader design would you consider to gain maximum slack between the fly line and the fly ?
6.) Can you name a fishing circumstance where you would want to have absolutely no slack in the leader or line as the fly lands upon the water ?
7.) How would you make a "PUDDLE CAST" with slack close to you ?
8.) Now you want to have the slack out at a distance from you. What do you do differently to accomplish this ?
9.) You have just made a perfect upstream reach "cast" with a straight line between the rod tip and the fly. You slipped line as you did this, so the fly has landed right in the feeding lane. NOW WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THE ROD TIP ?
10.) Can you name the author who described the, " ANGULAR PERPENDICULAR THRUST PILE CAST" and the, "ANGULAR ROTATIONAL THRUST PILE CAST" as well as the, "NEGATIVE BUCKET CAST" ?
11.) How do you perform a "WIGGLE CAST" so that the waves of slack line are close to you even though the fly is out at a distance ?
12.) You now want the waves of slack line for your "WIGGLE CAST" to be out near the end of the fly line at, say, 50' with the remainder of the line straight to the rod tip. What did you do differently from the cast in 11.) ?
13.) Does increased overhang help you to make on-the-water mends efficiently ?
