Somewhere in the files I still have from my prior career, college and a little study, I could probably post a number of the chemical reactions involved in having an orgasm. Being a blind fool however-I'd prefer to accept that when my wife plants a long kiss and grabs my crotch, good things are probably going to happen sooner than later. Same with a double-haul, I really don't feel the need to measure everything, I knows the line is going to deliver a fly some distance more than a normal cast if I do it right. |

You don't fish, Connor. I do. You don't publish trip reports. I do. You can bamboozle all you want, but when push comes to shove, you don't know very much, especially about life and definitely know little of practical use on fishing. The short of it, Michael, is that if it feels good, do it. And if it feels good, you are doing a double haul correctly. And the very bottom line is that my two oldest grandsons know more about double hauling and casting than you will ever know. And they were taught *only* the very basics. The could not care less about the math or the physics involved. Oh, yeah, thought you weren't going to answer my posts, and yet...... Daveyboy |

My grandsons know absolutely nothing about the physics of casting, but I will guarantee they can out-cast anyone on roff, including all the "mathematicians". And their double hauls are a thing to behold. Btw, they aren't very good fly fishers. They sure can cast, however. Dave hmmm...ok, i'll choose roger ohlund to be the "anyone on roff", give each of your grandson's a 5 inch handicap (just to be sporting), and bet you a trip to sweden he can out-cast them. g jeff |

.4: I just emailed an expert with at least a half dozen academic articles on fly casting in journals of sports mechanics and mechanical engineering, as follows: "I'm having a little argument about fly rod loading and the double haul that you might be able to help with, if you have the time. I've chased down some of your articles, but I can find reference to the haul. What's the mechanism for the stronger cast? Is it increased line speed, an improved load on the rod, or are these inseparable. Thanks for your help. NO PRESSING NEED AT ALL-please don't waste any valuable time on this." We'll see what we get back. Got a very nice reply, but I'm a little hesitant to post it before seeking permission, as the haul is now an active research path for the guy and he hasn't published it yet. It's all bundled up and inseparable, line speed, rod loading, line tension, etc. As with most things casting, its the acceleration of the haul that makes the biggest difference. -- Scott Reverse name to reply |
