100 foot cast - BackwoodsInvent - 05-31-2010 I saw a demo by Chuck Farneth, the 2001 ESPN Great Outdoor Games flyfishing gold medalist, about a week ago. He's lives here in Arkansas. During the demo, he cast 100 ft of line! One tip he really emphasized was not casting side-armed.

Bill Oyster builds bamboo and there is a youtube of him casting one 100' [signature] Re: [BackwoodsInvent] 100 foot cast - macfly55 - 06-02-2010 Im lucky to get 10 feet.. lol... could not fathome a 100 foot cast... but the idea is awesome...

[laugh] [signature] Re: [macfly55] 100 foot cast - pa - 06-08-2010 Heck, I'm just proud as proud of my 40ft cast.[] pa [signature] Re: [pa] 100 foot cast - macfly55 - 06-08-2010 seriously !! [sly] I would be too... on a serious note here... and remember I am the newbie ya'll.... I have been told that in most cases and on most waters your cast would be no where near a 30 - 40 cast.. much less a 100 foot plus one.. I am guessing.. but dont know for sure that that type of cast is mainly for competition.. and/or really big rivers (spey casting perhaps)... MacFly [cool] [signature] Re: [macfly55] 100 foot cast - flygoddess - 06-08-2010 AND, if you can cast that far, casting closer is that much easier[] It is just learning all you can about fly fishing. Speaking of which, where is Dry Rod? [signature] Re: [flygoddess] 100 foot cast - macfly55 - 06-08-2010 if I can cast that far Im entering competitions..LOL>. as for DR.. Im sre he is around somewhere.. I saw a few posts from him last week and this week as well..
