But you cannot beat a visual analysis.

Well done Jim, perseverance pays off. Just don't let him teach you the voodoo cast - and if he gets all brillig on you just give the tove a double hander!

I'm glad you got to grips with hauling Jim. It does the same job as the lower hand with the double hander, as I'm sure you recognised.

There is a point to the voodoo cast, which I must say, I doubted at first, thinking it was just being flashy.
As Alan and Scotty have both said in the past, it is great for presenting a dry fly when a spey/roll/swich cast would have drowned the fly. I have used it over the last weeks in a particular spot with a high bank behind me and an electric fence above that. It works and is worth learning if you fish rivers.

It will remain to be seen whether I can still do it next time out, of course. I've thought in the past that I'd cracked it only to be back to square 1 next time out !
Incidentally, I'm off to the North Esk tomorrow at 6am and I cannae sleep for the excitement of it all, which is why I'm posting at this ridiculous hour !

At the pond this morning I was taken back to the music of my youth  - " I'm just a lonely boy ... " and " Where have all the flowers gone ? "......bloody wimps !!  :lol: ... unless, of course, some of you were mad enough to be away fishing ..??  :lol:

Exponentially excremental ! Lifted the wrong rod from the house - a 8.5ft 4 wt Streamflex. Anyway, I had a throw with a Sage ZXL 9ft 5wt yesterday at GAC and liked it very much. Have you [ or anyone else ] got any thoughts on that one ? It's a hell of a price, of course, and I'd need to sell some other rods to pay for it  ...  but ....

Jim,
I tried the 4 weight - I am sure Fred bought it. Maybe the best modern rod I have used. You can often pick them up second hand for very reasonable prices. One of the best places to pick up gear is the Fly Fishing Forums. I just checked and it appears one sold in the last couple of days for ?250 - it may still be for sale.
