Glasgow Casting Club

Doubt I'll be there tonight. I have a German friend arriving tonight and need to be in for him coming over from Edinburgh. Depends what time he arrives but it is unlikely.

Old cane seems to do that sometimes. I broke an old cane that Ptinid had - the tip section snapped as easily as a matchstick - just like that one yesterday. I have a couple of split cane rods however however that are very strong  - something to do with moisture getting into the cane itself?

[Malcolm]

Distance casting is very relevant. Sea trout or salmon fishing on a bigger river even with a single handed rod can require very long casts. The same is true for some lochs, Have you noticed how often the fish rise on the edge of the ripple in the evenings - which can often be 80 or more feet away (I've often wondered why this zone on very light ripple is so attractive to rising fish).

Get yirsel a feckin boat, decent ones for about the price of a couple of your nanomatrix-carbontungsten, 100M-casting branded sh1te.
Drift out along the ripple, maximum cast 40ft, big fishies.

[Inchlaggan]

The edge of the ripple provides an aiming point, will disguise the fall of the fly, leaves the line in clear view and will immediately add natural action to the fly.

That's what the double hander's for , Malcolm.  :worried
Lift it , swing it , and whang it oot.

[Malcolm]

Fine if you can cast a double hander left hand up Brian. My skills with a double hander are a long way short of yours.
