Carl (Berlin)
Very kindly came to a meeting of the Yorkshire Gamefishers last night to give us a talk and demo on casting.
To say I was impressed is an understatement, we took our rods onto a floodlit field and Carl first demonstrated various techniques (with particular regard to loop control) then each of our "styles" was individually analysed and advice given on how to correct our deficiencies (there were many !).
My own desire was to improve my distance casting and within 1/2 hour I was repeatedly putting out a full Cortland 555 floater with the backing out of the tip ring.
This is something I have always aspired to doing.
If he can show me how to do this in 1/2 hour I am booking a full day with him !
Highly recommended, generous and very personable, if you get chance have a lesson with him , I know I will be doing.
