I keep a rod strung up by the back door and step out into the yard more or less every day for a few minutes of practice. Mainly because I just like to cast, but also to get better at casting in conditions I run into while fishing. My practice usually addresses actual casting situations - accuracy, casting under or around obstacles, casting in wind, etc. My neighbors think I'm insane. My wife and kids think I'm a dork.Tyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04510262829834562239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4843098604080162796.post-33110947083836869352012-01-07T16:42:34.493-08:002012-01-07T16:42:34.493-08:00That would pretty much be my opinion as well Kev! ...That would pretty much be my opinion as well Kev! Can't say I cn remember spending more than 4 or 5 total hours doing pure casting practice (I.E. not trying to catch something in the process) the entire 26 years I have been fly fishing.testflycarpinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01438987908906957352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4843098604080162796.post-15449679659288779562012-01-07T15:22:24.610-08:002012-01-07T15:22:24.610-08:00I don't know about casting competitions, I don...I don't know about casting competitions, I don't see too many casting champions on the river I fish.

I usually end up on the gulf-side when I go to FL because of family so I havent ever had a chance to check them out.<br />John - That was pretty much my opinion by the end of my steelhead days in MI. Steelhead, bigfoot and the lochness monster. Three pees in a pod.<br />Gregg - Kikin babies (trout fishing) does turn into a bit of a guilty pleasure for some reason doesnt it? Makes no sense of course but it is what it is.testflycarpinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01438987908906957352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4843098604080162796.post-71231308322131195362012-01-07T12:09:02.779-08:002012-01-07T12:09:02.779-08:00Come on now, perseverance fellows, plus I have few...Come on now, perseverance fellows, plus I have few other options.

Neat ditch with snook, baby tarpon, cichlids/peacocks and some donkey grass carp. Couldnt feed a grassie last time though. It all cost money to make I happen though.David McKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08513381038866640198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4843098604080162796.post-39118534270674901952012-01-07T08:36:14.170-08:002012-01-07T08:36:14.170-08:00Man, that sounds great.
