Walter & Group........
From Rick Whorwood (THCI) on Spey practice. His answers to my questions
in bold blue italics:-
Rick....
Note the
Group messages, below.
Will you give
us your input as to the value of Spey practice ?:
1.) On grass,
"Yes use a grass leader or peg the line, it's a
good way to learn the lift, sweep and
rise".
2.) On grass
with a, "grass leader". "They work fine if tyed
properly, use a stiff mono
20lb(maxima)"
3.) On still
water (such as a pond), "great to practice on,
but remember slack is our enemy, make sure it's removed
before each and every
cast".
4.) On moving water (river). The best
!!
Gordy: the biggest problem every student
has is watching every Spey movement, this is all about timing, pick a target
(tree, rock etc.) and forget about it, it will be there when you make the
forward cast, YOU NEED TO WATCH EVERY SPEY MOVEMENT !!! I can't stress this
enough !
When you need to straighten the line etc.
take your time to do properly, built good muscle memory, so often I'll see a
student try to roll out the line without forming a D Loop, it doesn't work
!!
