  • The Current March 2006
    Volume 10 No. 3 The Current March 2006 The Newsletter of the Columbia-Greene Rip Van Winkle Chapter #569 of Trout Unlimited TU...TO CONSERVE, PROTECT & RESTORE NORTH AMERICA'S COLD WATER FISHERIES & THEIR WATERSHEDS As of March 1st there are 31 MORE DAYS TO TROUT SEASON! STANDING IN A RIVER WAVING A STICK The title of a 1999 book (above) by prolific fishing author, John Gierach, is also an apt description of both of our March meeting presenters. Visit a Columbia County trout stream virtually any day (or night) during the season and you are likely to find Bobby Fisher or John Libruk, and often both of them, doing exactly that…and more, catching 1600 to 1800 trout between the two of them in an average season. As good as these guys are at catching trout, that talent is not what chapter members will hear about at our March meeting. Rather, it is the “waving a stick” business, and specifically “the sticks” themselves, bamboo fly rods, that we will see and hear about. These two TU colleagues are our chapter’s experts on the subject. They will come prepared on March 21st to show us many of the dozens of bamboo rods (new and vintage) that they own between them…Winstons, Thomas and Thomas, Leonards, Paynes, Orvis and Winchesters (yes…Winchester); give us a brief history of bamboo rod-making; and explain at least a few of the “ins and outs” of the bamboo fly rod. If you have ever wondered about intermediate windings, impregnated versus varnished, quad rods, greenheart, or wormholes in the wood, or even if you have not wondered, you’ll enjoy and learn from John and Bobby.

  • A Comparison of Distance Fly Casting Performance Between Three 5- Weight Long-Belly Floating Lines
    Send Orders of Reprints at [email protected] 118 The Open Sports Science Journal, 2012, 5, 118-122 Open Access A Comparison of Distance Fly Casting Performance Between Three 5- Weight Long-belly Floating Lines Ulrik Röijezon1,* and Stefan Siikavaara2 1Department of Health Sciences, Luleå University of Technology, 97187 Luleå, Sweden 2Dala Sports Academy, University of Dalarna, 791 88 Falun, Sweden Abstract: Long-belly fly lines have gained extensive popularity around the world, both for fishing and for competitive distance casting. In Sweden, three long-belly fly lines are used as official lines in Fly Casting competitions: The Mastery Expert Distance (Scientific Anglers, USA), the Rio Gold Tournament (Rio, USA) and the Barrio GT140 (Barrio Fly Lines, Scotland). The objective of this study was to compare distance casting performance between the three long-belly fly lines using a standardized test protocol. Sixteen elite casters, eight competitors in Fly Casting and eight competitors in Casting, each performed eight casts with all three lines. All lines were cast in a randomized manner with the same type of rod (MSX Sapphire 790-4) fitted with the same type of reel and identical leaders. The test was performed as an indoor competition using the overhead cast technique. The statistical analyses revealed no significant differences between the lines. This result was consistent both for the whole group (p>0.05) and when the results from the subgroups of competitors in Fly Casting and Casting were analyzed separately (p>0.05). The conclusion of the study is that at group level there are no significant differences in distance casting performance between the three lines when casting is performed indoors.

  • Fly Casting: the Roll Cast Overview
    FLY CASTING: THE ROLL CAST OVERVIEW Conservation / education / community FLY CASTING: ROLL CAST OVERVIEW OVERVIEW WHAT IS A ROLL CAST AND WHY DO YOU NEED IT? A roll cast is a forward cast without a backcast. If you knew only one cast, it should be the roll cast. You’ll use it when you can’t make a backcast because of trees or other obstructions behind you or because you have unwanted slack in the fly line. It’s fun to learn and easy to do. HOW TO ROLL CAST ON WATER Start with the fly, leader, and a few feet of fly line on the water. Pull approximately two rod-lengths of fly line off the reel. Hold the rod horizontal in front of you, then wiggle it quickly side to side. This will pull the extra line out of the rod tip. The fly line is now in a pile in front of you. With one or two fingers of your rod hand, pin the line against the cork handle, to keep the line from slipping. Now, because the fly line is directly in front of your body, take a step or two to the left if you are right-handed (step to the right if you are left handed), so the line ends up in front of your rod hand, rather than your body. A ROLL CAST CAN BE USED TO REMOVE SLACK With the rod canted outward at about 15 degrees, slowly draw the line back to form a half circle (D-loop) behind the shoulder.
