Re: [VFB] World's record fly casting distance... This is unreal!!!!!!!/SWAPS

Eric: BTW. Glad this group got you back into swaps again. They are great things. I remember my first swap, (which was right here in this group) and it took me a long time to enter a swap cause I was soo nervous that ppl would laff at my "rookie flies". But they never did, and I have now been

Re: [VFB] World's record fly casting distance... This is unreal!!!!!!!

Eric: Having been on this list nearly 7 years now I think it is, I think (HOPE) the group is too strong for that, and hope I didn't start any sort of "panic", but it could happen. I was just saying that we ALL encounter threads that are of no interest to us, and if that is the case, that's why

Re: [VFB] "Fingering" Mohair - what's the definition?

Wes: My wife says that "finger weight" is lighter than say "worsted weight" She says there is (in the super fine category and these are the lightest) "baby weight", "fingering weight", "sock weight" . Then, the weights get heavier from there. HTH, Chuck - Original Message - From:

Re: [VFB] World's record fly casting distance... This is unreal!!!!!!!

That's amazing . And an 81 year old lady casting 160ft or so. This stuff (distance casting) does amaze me, cause in my bait chunking days, you wanna cast farther, just put more poisonous lead on the line. But, in fly casting, as the article said, you have to not only cast is a long ways, but to

[VFB] "Fingering" Mohair - what's the definition?

Hi VFB, Wish we could send the UK some of our rain. Major drought there. Can someone please tell me what "fingering" weight Mohair yarn is? Where is fingering in relationship to "kid" or "coarse"? Also just got some of the nicest Spirit River dyed Cashmere goat. This one is a fluorescent light

Hope the group doesn't fall apart, I am just starting to get into swaps again :) By the way, distance casting is a handy and practical tool.  I was stuck on shore one day on Joe Wright Resevoir in Colorado, and I was double hauling down to my backing for grayling.  Would never have caught as man

Re: [VFB] World's record fly casting distance... This is unreal!!!!!!!

insightful article. I think it is a lot like golf. If you want to improve you need to pay attention to the details. Anyone can buy an outfit either golf or flyfishing but to be good you need to be able to hit all the shots and do it well. Otherwise you are playing putt putt on the water. Mike

Many famous fly fishers have participated in casting competitions. Among them, Lee Wulff, Joan Wullf, Mel Krieger, and of course Steve Rajeff. Things they have learned are of benefit to all of us. Whether it is improved equipment (rods, reels, fly lines) or casting techniques. Casting accur
