To kill time - fishin_gal - 01-12-2011 I have a question for all you fisherman out there. Do you ever find yourself casting when you have no rod in your hands?? Okay so I found this funny(not sure kochanut did), but I was running on the tredmil the other day and just started to practice some casting! I would throw my right arm back and forth three times then cast and then strip the line and so on and so forth.. Im sure i looked funny but it sure helped kill some time on the tredmil [signature] Re: [fishin_gal] To kill time - kochanut - 01-12-2011 i practice in the river when your mad at me or your at work [:p] [signature] Re: [fishin_gal] To kill time - flygoddess - 01-12-2011 Sounds like you need one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Echo-Micro-Practice-Fly-Rod/dp/B002QG01WS/ref=pd_sbs_sg_1 We sit on the couch watching TVwith one of these.

[signature] Re: [riverdog] To kill time - flygoddess - 01-12-2011 I know I do. I need to up it to like 5 days a week then I might be cured. I walk/run every day but I double haul while I am...arm movement is a good thing.[cool] [signature] Re: [flygoddess] To kill time - fishin_gal - 01-12-2011 Lol. Well see i dont ever go out and fish now that Kochanut is gone for awhile. Plus ive only once fly fished for about 10minutes, and other then that Ive been shown on the front lawn how to cast and such. So Im sure when I practice I am Still doing it wrong, but like I said it helped me run hard and get in better shape so when kochanut returns he can teach me what he knows and I can get to a class and learn even more stuff.... Thanks Flygoddess, i just might have to try that out [signature] Re: [flygoddess] To kill time - macfly55 - 01-12-2011 as much as I know I should I dont have one of those ... mainly because I think one of two things would happen... Id hit my wife with it or she would take it from me and beat the c**p out of me with it... :-)... but will say.. I have tested those in stores they appear to be a great tool.. but Im afraid of the pain...LOL... MacFly [cool] [signature] Re: [fishin_gal] To kill time - macfly55 - 01-12-2011 I will say ... on occassion.. I will do some practice casting... what I find though is that I am usually out of practice and instead of relaxing I get very tense and I know that would not be a good cast ...

Wanted to teach my grand nephew how to cast before I gave him one of my rods, however, his dad has him playing basketball, football and baseball. Has no time for fishing. Too bad at 9 he could get a got start to the sport of FFing. If we go to Wy agin this year will give it another try.[/#008000][/font] [inline flyfisher.gif] [signature] Re: [flygoddess] To kill time - albinotrout - 01-24-2011 If I used one of those around my house I would end up cat fishin'.[] [signature] Re: [albinotrout] To kill time - flygoddess - 01-24-2011 LOL works good on Wieners too [signature]
