I realize that's an emotional generalization born out of the bull**** that
goes on here; but as one of the 95% who fail consistently, I can assure you
that it is not due to lack of understanding of the physics of casting or the
mechanics of my equipment. I understand all of that perfectly well; what I
lack is the magic.

Oh I understand you perfectly, and indeed Tim J. as well. Certainly
far better than you realise. When I am fishing, I don´t need to
analyse anything, it has become second nature.

Furthermore, it is apparently not clear to you and others that I don´t
do anything else. I live, eat, breathe and sleep, fishing, a minimum
of twelve hours a day, and usually seven days a week, 52 weeks a year,
I have nothing else worthwhile to do. I read about it, think about it,
and discuss it without pause, with some of the greatest experts on the
planet, the same goes for fly-dressing and other related subjects.

As I said, this may be of interest;

May well be so with the folks you fish with, but I teach people to
avoid trees when casting.

teaching, and actually fishing practice are two different things, especially
on overgrown New England brooks,
and tight mountain streams in the Eastern US. Plus, I was
trying to introduce you to the concept of a sense of humor.

Seems Wolfgang was indeed right about Dickie, just another
pathological ****bag.

actually, I think he was trying to inject a bit of his own brand of humor
into the situation. My recommendation would be to either chuckle or ignore
it. To do otherwise
might make you appear pompous, bitter, or both......

This is supposed to be a fly-fishing group, with not a few self-

presumably expect qualified advice, otherwise they would just go to
their local fly-shop, plonk down their plastic, and buy the
apparently obligatory bling to begin with.

That's right, and that's exactly why those who know better should
speak up and point out the ignorance of nonsense posts like this:

"MOST
LINES WHICH ARE RATED AT THE SAME
AFTM# AS YOUR ROD WILL NOT MATCH AT ALL!!!!"

(emphasis yours)

Ken

Obviously, we have stumbled upon a plot by rod manufacturers to
underlabel their rods. It has been going on for at least 15 years. If
you actually do the research, you'll find that manufacturer's of fishing
gear have been secretly shifting their portfolios toward the orthopeadics
industry, knowing that the extra effort of casting underrated rods loaded
with lines that are too light will cause all sorts of joint and muscle
problems, from the shoulder all the way to the fingers.

I think the plot really stems from the Illuminati. After all, the worst
offenders are probably 3 weights and 2 weights --- 32!! Aha-- got them
now.

remember driving down the road as a kid, and they had those series of

Good advice, if you want to be just like all the other stupid
unthinking dumbos who can´t cast, and know virtually nothing about
their equipment or how to use it, much less how to catch fish.

You know why 5% of the anglers catch 95% of the fish? Because that
95% of anglers who consistently fail are just as stupid and ignorant
as this lot.

MC


wrong, very much so.......95% simply don't understand the quarry, and don't
put the time into learning. I have lobbed flies at trout and bass for a few
decades now, and can assure you, and any other damned soul that will listen,
that "casting skill" accounts for a VERY small percentage of angling
success. Presentation involves so much more than distance casting or show
casting. Mostly, it involves getting to the sweet spot where the actual cast
is EASY, and avoiding being seen or heard by the fish. Stream fisherman(and
I am very aware that other skill-sets come into play for flats fishing,
float-tube fishing, lake fishing,etc)
would be very well served by Tim's advice.

.....and, it occurs to me to wonder WHY that article, in which you deign
yourself important enough to decide what makes an "angler" would interest
ANYONE. Yeesh, Mike, and you wonder why you draw barbs and ridicule like
**** draws flies?
