Harps Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 You may need a flycasting golf course set up... like the golf disc courses in some parks. Your goal... cast to the target at the end with the least number of casts. Around obstacles, through bush, just distance, etc. For the last shot you have to hit a ring on the ground. If you land the fly closer than a rod length to the target you get to move back one rod length (9') from the target. If you miss from 9' you just keep casting from that position until you hit the target. So I guess you have to move your fly every time unless you land within a rod length. Everyone carries a marker so when you "tee off" you walk out to the fly and drop your marker and then move over for the next caster. Its a fun way to have a few beverages and practice all types of casting, plus it can be competative practice without the pissing contest. Don't forget the blue argyle checkered sweater... Quote
Guest bigbadbrent Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 Ok so team Hawgstoppah is Hawgstoppah, Kritofr, 3 open spots. Or is is team captain and then 5 members? My team is going to be semi experienced bow river fisherman. Let's see if the young guns can take us down. MTB you on my team? Need yah. Need a few more vets too. Lynn, this sounds awesome, let's roll with it. Anyone know how to book the group campsite area at carseland? Let's do this. Can't think of anything more fun here. If we plan it now, I'm sure everyone can get the time off.... lol, i was hoping to push MTB into 'coaching' us Quote
lonefisher Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 If someone wants me on their team let me know this sounds like fun...... although I don't know why you would I couldn't hit water if I fell out of a boat. If not I will just show up and be captain of the drinking team which is something I am better equipped to handle...... Quote
Hawgstoppah Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 captain of the drinking team which is something I am better equipped to handle...... ROFL..... who can cast into a hula hoop at 30 paces ,..... AFTER 6 beer........ !!! lol Quote

LMAO I'd like to nominate Mike as captain of Team Molson if this happens. I figure he's a shoe-in because he's got at least double the experience drinking than most of you Quote
bloom Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 ill be the captain of team "maddmaxx"...when do yall wana start practicing... we need the team molson too fill up too... looks like lonefisher, bloom, teck...glenbow when hes back from teh kiwis?... who else likes beer and fishing? LMAO Got to get Walker1 on this team. Not only does he like fishing and drinking, but he always brings the beer! (It's Keith's, but it's tough to complain about free beer) Quote

Guest bigbadbrent Posted November 24, 2007 Posted November 24, 2007 Tough to practice without a knowledge of whats going to be required to be done.. especially when the organizer is coaching one of the other teams Team Molson will be favourites for the Das Boot challenge Quote
Brownstone Posted November 24, 2007 Posted November 24, 2007 especially when the organizer is coaching one of the other teams I really hate to say this ... but he got a point .. If your gonna do this fair, have it put together by a third party, or multiple "modules" by different people. Quote
maxwell Posted November 24, 2007 Posted November 24, 2007 Tough to practice without a knowledge of whats going to be required to be done.. especially when the organizer is coaching one of the other teams sorry dude u can have the captain of team young gun..i gotta stay true too my hommies...its all the love of flyfishin...and they wana practice soon...so team..YARRR BROTHERR!!! maxwell LK2 maximum and the others were waiting on.....sorta weres team oluns??? dryfly adc don a barry m jim m ? thats a scary team....
