I've returned from my third day of fishing/tuition and it's definitely an ongoing experience of ups and downs. I'm still working away on my Double Spey cast, it's certainly improved and I'm starting to cast a decent line, quite a lot of the time. That said, during the last hour of Friday I introduced something amiss into my cast and it all went wrong!. It didn't help that my hand were cold and I was probably getting a tad tired.
I finished on a coupe of decent casts, having decided that I was messing up the final stage. I'll get my ghillie/instructor to double check what I'm doing next Friday, though I think that I'm already on top of it...
It's certainly proving to be a challenge, which is what I wanted. When it's going well it's enjoyable and relaxing. Water levels were much higher this trip, partly due to meltwater, plus the hydroelectric at the dam had been activated. Water was deeper and faster, a different experience again from the previous week. Roll on Friday, I think I'm getting some tuition on the Single Spey cast, another thing to practice!
