    I have a 15’ lp and was wondering if anyone has experimented putting a different rear casting brace in? I have the common issue of spider cracking from where the brace adds pressure to the sides of the hull because it attaches to the gunwales. Thinking if I could add the 360 degree style brace...

    I have a couple friends interested in learning to fly fish. I'm looking for a spot to teach them how to cast while on shore that's 1) fairly close to Seattle 2) a little more nature-y than Green Lake, 3) includes some chance of catching a fish. If Rattlesnake's water levels are low, seems like...

    So my fiance wants to take a casting lesson since even though I can cast well, I'm horrible at showing or explaining to someone else how to do it. She would prefer a female instructor if possible. Are there any locally that you would reccomend?

    So my first time competing casting at the Long Beach Casting Club last weekend. Entered as a novice division with about 12 other newbie casters. There were seniors, women and open division casters that attracted a bunch of Spey O Rama (SOR) folks like Tommy A (flew in from Norway), Jim...

    So I just got my first spey setup and Ive been watching youtube videos on how to cast plus all the other good stuff. Some of them were helpful and others were a little confusing, but I was wondering if anyone had good videos on the topic that they would be willing to share. Tight lines!

    In another thread I talked about seeing a fisherman using a OPST commando head. He was standing in his boat and casting a very impressive distance, using a 9' single hand rod. I've watched videos of Skagit casting but until yesterday had little interest. But now I want to try it. After some...

    Started using a basket on the beach this Fall and have a tough time getting "on reel" when I got a larger fish on, in close, and a bunch of line in the basket. The reel line is underneath all the other. Lost a Fatty trying to control the line and get "on reel" at the same time. End up with a...

    So my club is hosting it's first spey casting tournament and I have questions that I hope others here who have competed might be able to chime in on. BTW I have never competed so this is all new.... In a nutshell it says from their webpage: Who: Open to All - beginners to expert - Skagit to...

    This may not be a very good angle for any sort of diagnosis, but anyone care to take a look and give me some pointers? Couple of issues (not necessarily in the video): 1. Problem getting tight loops accurate loops, e.g. getting the fly to tuck under some overhanging branches 2. The line looking...

    So I am close to shore (with probable structure ) in my tube. #4 sinking line , 9' 5 wt with a , let's say, Muddler Minnow. Roll cast out 20 ft. then what? Wait 3 seconds so the backcast is loaded and then shoot out as much line as possible? False cast a few times to not spook the fish? Let...

    I am trying out a speydicator line. I guess its supposed to allow you to spey cast a nymph rig with a strike indicator. For those that haven't seen a speydicator, it has a very long mending line that allows you to make multiple mends before you reach the running part of the line. I can't seem to...

    I do... So perhaps we can meet as we have great casting pond by Reed College ? Casting is fun (to me) and it is as important part of fly fishing experience as fly tying. I am not casting master but I like to cast a lot. Perhaps I am not the only one in PDX area and we can get together from time...

    Realistically how much room do you need to form a d loop? I was fishing last weekend in high water and found myself up to the bank with little to no room. I tried to cast a perry poke, snap t, and double spey. The snap t was working the best for me but i was only able to cast damn near parallel...
