Made it along to the casting club last night,it was great-very informal.Was nice to see some old and new faces.Thanks to Alex and Alberto for helping me out.
It's made me start to think about my casting which can only be a good thing.Despite fishing for most of my life it would appear that I have a hell of a lot to learn about casting!
cheers

Most of us do, in fact we probably all do, but as Buzz said  sometime ago  - don't let it ruin your fishing.

Yeah it was good last night, not least because the rain Gods kindly took a tea break for the duration! Not sure if he read this, but I'd like to say thanks to Andrew (caster extraordinaire) for spending time with the newby I brought along - cheers mate I was failing him miserably! It's very obvious to me that I've got a long way to go too in terms of my casting ability, but I'm inspired to improve when watching the better casters do their stuff at th Club. I'll get there... eventually!  :D

Paul i forgot to ask last night, was there an outcome to the mystery fly line destruction?

River Chatter - you definitely got the right guy to help. Andrew's the best guy for the job. Helped me loads to get my casting sorted out, it's come on leaps and bounds since then.

Nah Scotty,
Once it became apparent that I can't actually cast, the line damage was forgotten about!
cheers

Data items correct, sequence wrong. Should be a business analyst :)

Thanks to Hare's Ear for showing me the overhead curve cast and to Zoomer for the bump roll. Having never had a casting lesson it's quite fascinating watching how rather more classical casters manage to repeat a casting action time after time rather than just pitching the fly out there....

it has gotton very busy to the point that you just cant talk to everyone.

See what happens if you let just any bugger in?

What you need is reports section style access to keep the riff raff out.  :lol:
