Fly Casting Instruction - May 4, 2007 by Dover England We gathered at 4 p.m. at Greenhill Park for a fly casting instruction. The water was high and colored so no fishing or reading the water presentations as planed. Members present were Hans and Anke Loberg, Ron Herring, Joe Nawrocki, Bayes Wilson and Jon Wilson. Several members called and could not make it. Dover England was an excellent instructor and we all left casting much better. Dover explained the fine points of casting and showed us how to do the single and double haul. I also got to try out the new Orvis Zero Gravity that Dover was so gracious to bring for me. It is one sweet rod!!!! I hope someday I can afford one! Hans and Anke have the most beautiful casts I have ever seen. They seemed to cast in unison and made it look so easy. Hans was casting into his backing as if it were nothing!! Thanks goes out to Dover for providing his professional skill, time and this opportunity for our members to improve upon our sport. I hope this will be one of many to come for our chapter. I truly enjoyed the experience and fellowship with everyone. Thanks, Jon Click on thumbnail pictures for full size image. |
