Spey-o-Rama - Steve Choate

[Rick J]

I cut an pasted this link from the Spey Pages board of Steve Choate casting at the recent Sepy-o-rama at Golden Gate. I printed it out on a 3 foot wide sheet and have it pasted on my wall at work - really great photo!!! Even non- fly fishers who stop by my desk are really impressed!!!

David, with a big stick like that you might want to wear a hard helmet while you are over head casting. :lol:

Everything's going well here in Chico. I'm settling into the Best Buy job and I will soon be starting to work for Fish First.

I will use my float tube for the first time on my new private lake and explore for a while today.

Good luck with the stripes :!:

Hi All.
Adam, Its strange who we humans see things, people who normaly use a 9 footer think a 14 is long, people who only use a 7 foot 4w, think 9 footers are long.

If you use, mainly a 14 footer, then you think a 12 footer is small, a 7 footer, a wee baby.

Now, to those who's casting skills allow themsevels to be hit my the fly, it's the casters fault, not the rod or the fly's, then a 14 footer's fly is a long way up in the sky, well away from you.
As a bonus, the fly clears scrub/bush and rocks that grab that steal a 9 footer's fly.

Now I think a 18 footer is big, the 14 is normal.. now busting to get both my hands around a 18footer.
Kind regards,
Barry.
