While this link was already posted in a comment about the Corkscrew Curve Cast, I though that I would make it a post, as well, since it is a serious example of the skill. How far can one cast a Corkscrew Curve? Have a watch and find out (from Lasse Karlsson). Note also that Lasse [...]
For those who attended the Bend seminar last week, here is the trout leader post/page that I referenced during the leader-building session. I figure that it is easier to just re-post it so you don’t have to dig around the blog. Put those three-turn Surgeon’s Knots to good use… – – – – – – [...]
I’ve been exchanging a few e-mails about various aspects of casting with Dr. Server Sadik, who is both an engineering prof at Montana State University and part of the original MSU/FCI motion-capture crew from back in 2004. In our back-and-forth, Server mentioned that he had some good SLP still shots from that original mo-cap session. [...]
Continuing the movie theme as of late, I wanted to point FF&W readers to a full collection of 500 frame-per-second fly-casting videos (hosted on Revver.com). Actually, if you’ve been reading this blog, you may have already seen these, but I figure that it never hurts to make them obvious. These videos are the result of [...]
Few things in fly casting are as misunderstood as the concept of the “straight line path” (known in casting-geek-speak as “SLP”) of the rod tip during the cast. Indeed, overly simplified or overly optimized diagrams of SLP have been wreaking havoc on casters’ imaginations for decades. While Possessing SLP is often thought of as a good thing for [...]
Okay, enough of the “re-loading” and “new stuff soon” posts—here is some actual new stuff (while chunks of this article have appeared in various forms elsewhere, they have not appeared at FF&W, so I’m going to call this “new”). Actually some of the following includes excerpts from the book, Presentation (penned by my father), so [...]
My casting-study compatriot, Grunde Løvoll (Ph.D), and I wrote this back in 2006 (based on Grunde’s high-speed video work and physics background). The article ended up being published first in Japan (in FlyFisher magazine), and then later in Scandinavia. After appearing in print, Paul Arden published it on his Sexyloops site (thanks, Paul!), and I put [...]
The FF&W blog is meant to provide a flow of fly-fishing articles, art, and media, as well as a splash of news and other links. I hope that you enjoy the read.
My best,
