117 pages im a bit lost here , what does a casting club do ? Not being cheeky just wondering what its about and this seems easier to ask than read it all  :crap

[sinbad]

Ok , i could nt resist ive had a good look , it does what it says on the tin. A bit alien to me as ive been fly fishing from about 4 years old and thought everyone could do it Guess i was lucky !

Sinbad,

I tend to pop in to the casting club on Sunday mornings in winter every few weeks. It's a good place to try out other kinds and weights of rods. Where else could you try out a 10ft 12 weight or a 7ft 2 weight. Maybe borrow Alan's Helios and Scott's supposedly identical hydros and test them out side by side. You can dispel the myths that a fast rod casts further than a medium rod or that rod performance has some relation to price. Maybe you've never tried a double hander? Chances are someone will help you out.

There are people there who have special interests in all sorts of fishing and casting skills. We have also had some single and double handed competition casters come along. However, not everyone goes every week. Chances are you will pick up much more from ordinary fellow anglers than anyone else. I know I did.

Mostly our own but we have had people like Gary Scott come along with pre-release models for us to try out.

Sounds like a great club and it's pity it's not closer for us northern duffers.     There is at least one bloke up this way who claims he is an instructor but is fecking hopeless at teaching. He's so fragile egoed he cannae help himself and ends up trying to impress all in sundry with dull tales aboot his imaginary fishing achievements and no one learns onythin. You  dinnae want him there.  :lol:

Only three at the pond today ...and two of us [ Tom R and myself ] stayed in the car the whole time ! But the bold Ken, newly APGAI qualified, was braving the cold wind with his double-hander    -    his new venture.
Well done, Ken, and heartiest congratulations !
