Hi all,
A rare opportunity here in Adelaide not to be missed!
Renown fly fisher Peter Morse will be conducting a fly casting course here in Adelaide on Sunday 25th July. I hope this doesn't offend any forum rules, I am not affiliated with Peter anf thought this information would be a service to other fly fishers!
Fly Casting Day with Peter Morse Federation of Fly Fishers Certified
Master Casting Instructor
Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced caster we all have something
to learn. I think the best thing we can learn are sufficient skills to
be able to analyse your own cast (or a mates) to the point where you
can figure out what’s going wrong and correct it.
There are 5 Essentials to good fly casting – with just one of these
Essentials missing you can’t throw a good, effective, and efficient
cast.
- No slack in the line.
- The correct stroke length for the amount of line you have out, and
for the bend in the rod.
- A constant and smooth rate of acceleration.
- A straight line path of the tip of the rod.
- A correct pause front and back as you wait for the line.
Even many advanced casters don’t completely understand these
principles but learn them, understand them, and apply them and you
will immediately become a better caster.
Date Sunday 25th July
Cost $150 pp
Where TBA
Start time 8.30 rig up – 9.00 start.
Finish time 4.00pm
Some tackle can be provided – a BRIGHT ORANGE OR ANY OTHER BRIGHT
COLOURED LINE IS A BIG HELP, clear intermediate lines are difficult to
see and therefore analysing the loop is next to impossible if you use
one.
Bring water, lunch, sunscreen, a folding chair, a note pad, hat,
sunnies, line cleaner and an open mind.
