Flycasting • Re: Haul timing
Hi Phil,I think this will also depend on the rod. Since the haul retards/controls rod tip as it unloads, a very aggressive haul acceleration on a soft rod can cause a tail. With a stiffer rod I think a higher rate of acceleration is better, so the percentage difference between would be greater, ie a […]
Flycasting • Re: Performance levels
That's actually a good question, Paul. I'm used to the performance levels of classic casting sport - something over 90% in the accuracy events is quite common - I had not the impression that trout accuracy is that much harder compared to e.g. skish 7,5g plug accuracy. I had some (trout accuracy, indoors) rounds in […]
Flycasting • Re: Performance levels
Pretty much all pre-instruction assessment is subjective Phil and I think skill development is on a continuum rather than specified stages.I suppose the various badge levels and instructor assessments are the closest anyone is going to come to ranking in any objective sense but there isn’t time, usually, in a lesson to go to those […]
Flycasting • Re: Performance levels
Hi PhilHow would you score your test?And you're right, many flyfishers are pretty narrow minded in techniques.CheersLasseI have no idea how to score it this exam.Probably a little too subjective, and also too hard in reality. I think targets would have to be modified from circles depending on the subject fish. For instance, for redfish […]
Flycasting • Re: Performance levels
Hi Lasse,Still, I don’t normally throw 36 in competition either. Neither do you I think. What do you expect to throw in competition? I average around 50. Not earth shattering. Anything over 50 I’m happy with my performance. Outside of WCs that wins a lot of competitions. I recognise that our level is on the […]

Flycasting • Re: Performance levels
Hi Phil To test for fly fishing becomes very complex as each has its own requirements and puts emphasis on different skills. I wouldn’t say that the skills vary so much as the objectives and constraints. However, I agree that you can’t have a universal measure of skills level.Much of the fishing Vince does is […]
Flycasting • Re: Performance levels
Hi Lasse,I have no problems identifying as, or in this case performing as, an intermediate. I’m also happy as a beginner, which in many cases I am. Saltwater fly fishing, grayling, DHD. I have no issues with any of that. In fact that’s actually the best thing about fly fishing; that we can go from […]

Flycasting • Re: Performance levels
Building on Vince's idea, many fly fisherman are adept at their preferred or local type of fishing. These fishermen spend little tine with the sport of casting or mastering techniques useful for other types of fishing. Saltwater flats vs freshwater trout vs freshwater bass vs Spey vs saltwater bluefish/stripers etc. Less common is the fly […]
Flycasting • Re: Performance levels
Yes those are the numbers I looked at, Torsten. 96’ is still intermediate distance territory. But 64 points is advanced. Intermediate would be 70-105’ distance. And 25-40 in accuracy. Or something like that. And being able to consistently do both of course. Advanced would be 110-115’ and 45+ at a minimum. It would be nice […]
