Walter....
Here's a list of questions I sent out to our Group. Several did well.....only one got 100 percent. Give it a try.....ok to consult your books.
1.) You have just made a forward cast to a STOP. When does the line/loop begin to fall ?
2.) What is the primary duty of the rod hand ?
3.) Name 5 duties of the line hand.
4.) Your student asks you when the loop actually begins to form in relation to his casting stroke. What do you tell him ?
5.) What is the main function of the guides on a fly rod ?
a.) When casting ?
b.) When fighting a fish ?
(#5 can be a brain twister and a half. Dennis Grant and I discussed this at the conclave, but I didn't gain a clear idea about it until I omitted stringing up through the guides and ran the line through the tip top alone.)
6.) What is a DUAL MODE FLY REEL ?
7.) What is BUNGEE BUTT ?
8.) What is meant by BLOW LINE FISHING ?
9.) What is "FETCH" .
10.) Give one good use for a double nail knot.
Take the plunge and give it a stab......it's fun. Go ahead and use your books for any answer.
