$52,000.00 prize pool for casting - fishing contest winners NOW HEAR THIS Outdoor Life Network is sweetening the pot for fly fishers. Nothing like the bass bonanza but a start. This summer their Fly Fishing Masters fishing contest will allow the winners of four regional fly casting contests to participate in regional and a national trout fishing contest for substantial bucks - in cash. No boats or fly rods. Can you imagine a guide or insurance man or surgeon going back to the office after being shown on national TV fishing for $30,000.00. I expect they will film some fish that got away and I suspect that there will be some big fish in the waters chosen.Now aren't you glad you made friends with your fly rod.

FEEDBACK ON DOUBLE TAPER LINES FOR DISTANCE. Your editor has received this response to his suggestion that the International Sportsmen's Expositions five weight fly line distance casters would have lost only about eight feet of distance had they used five weight double taper lines rather than weight forward. The responder is Lance Egan, the runner up in Salt Lake. Lance Egan: "One thing I disagree with you - you mentioned you feel a DT would take away some distance in this game. I feel the opposite. A DT although shorter, is heavier and thus loads the rod easier. It also turns over very well on long casts. Another thing is a DT is usually shorter, which means you will be shooting backing. The backing carries with ease and offers less resistance when shooting through the guides. I feel most competitors would actually gain some distance with a DT. Just my two cents. Lance Egan."
Thanks for taking the trouble to share your insights with us Lance. I will post this on the casting tips page as well.
RESULTS FINALS OF INTERNATIONAL SPORTSMEN'S EXPOSITIONS BEST IN THE WEST CASTING CONTEST. Salt Lake City, March 16, 2003. Jim Gunderson of Salt Lake City won his third consecutive finals with a cast of 116 feet. Second was Rick Hartman of Texas at 113.1 feet. and third was Ian Walker of the Long Beach California Casting Club at 107.4 feet. All of this was done with a nine foot, five weight trout rod and weight forward line. I would estimate they got about eight feet more than they would have gotten with a double taper. One reason is that double taper lines are shorter than weight forward so they would be in the backing faster. And a double taper is such a pleasure to cast long with a sweet back cast. There was a women's division this year and the winner was Lori Ann Murphy at 95.9 feet. second went to Wendy Gunn, 89.5' and third to Natalie Jensen at 77.5 '. The first prize for men and women was a drift boat outfit. The grapevine has it that casting from the platform is no joke when it comes to dealing with the line. Where to drape the line - at the side on the platform, in front of the platform and thus lower and farther to lift, draped around something to tangle - all these things are part of the breaks of the game. Back cast room can be a problem also. Eighty foot + backcasts are routine in this five weight game. More complete results from the qualifying contests are: Michigan Fly Casting Competition. Southfield Michigan, February 1, 2003. You can learn more about this at http://ww.flymartonline.com/article137.html the Flymartonline website but there is interesting news about this event. It is a fly show involving the local Trout Unlimited chapter and this was a pay to play fly casting competition. There were three types of events. For five dollars any adult can cast to the copyrighted Sporting flies Competition indoor simulation of trout stream fishing situations. Juniors can pay for free and there are trophies for winners.
The second aspect was a prize money game for teams of two representing non-profit clubs and organizations. Entry fee is A$100.00 per team and the winning team received 75% of the entry fee pool. The third game was a four person all comers team competition with $200.00 to enter and a $3,000.00 cash prize for the winning team. We are trying to learn more about the contestants and winners and about the history of this event which has been cunningly concealed from your loyal correspondent/editor. Never fear, by hook or crook or other skulduggery we will ferret out the details and reveal them here. The website says this is the third year and that teams converge from all over the midwest to play. Maybe this is such a good idea that it will be done in other places around the county or the world. Would your team rather have $3,000.00 or a drift boat? I'll bet the teams celebrate the event whether they win or not. When was the last time you and three friends went on an interesting fishing excursion for $200.00 for the four of you. The next step might be to have amateur and professional teams. Most of the winners in the ISE drift boat contest are employed in the industry, But Not All. Ian Walker, who will be at Salt Lake City casting for the drift boat, has a day job as a computer professional. There are a lot more amateur than professional high end casters. It will be interesting to see the makeup of the successful ones in this fly fishing simulation casting game. After all, fly fishing is about stealth and sneakiness. RESULTS Phoenix ISE (International Sports Shows) show, 3/9/03 Graham Anderson here: "The grapevine isn't as good this time, although I can tell you that Jim Gunderson won the Phoenix show with a cast of 113' and, I think, two inches. Second was around 101' and third was 98'. Not sure who the casters were. The lineup for the SLC (Salt Lake City) finals looks similar to last year's already with Ian Walker, Tim Rajeff, Lance Egan and Jim Gunderson already qualified."

PLEASANTON CALIFORNIA INTERNATIONAL SPORTSMEN'S EXPOSITION FIVE WEIGHT FLY ROD DISTANCE CONTEST Sunday, February 9, 2003
Graham Anderson has once again scooped the big journals with the results of the Pleasanton casting game. Not long before the world serious of five weight distance casting in Salt Lake City. 1. Lance Egan, 107'5" 2. Jeff Currier, 107' 0" 3. Ryan Barnes, 98'4". It's on to Salt Lake for Lance.
SAN MATEO, CALIFORNIA INTERNATIONAL SPORTSMEN'S EXPOSITION FIVE WEIGHT FLY DISTANCE CONTEST Sunday, February 2, 2003 Once again, through the courtesy of our intrepid casting correspondent, Graham Anderson, the scores: Women: 1. Wendy Gunn: 104.7 ft. 2. Lori-Ann Murphy: 82. 3. Rachel Connery: 80.9. Men: 1. Tim Rajeff: 110.6. 2. Robert Meiswinkel: 102.5. 3. John Sherman: 100.6. " the weather was beautiful, sunny, clear. The wind was a hindrance: The wind often came from the side. In this case the wind w as not helpful, though the results show they were excellent casters getting a decent score." Thanks Graham. And thanks Kate Blubaugh for helping out. DENVER INTERNATIONAL SPORTSMEN'S EXPOSITION FIVE WEIGHT FLY DISTANCE CONTEST Our fearless correspondent, Graham Anderson files this account of Denver. "Just got a report on the Denver ISE 5wt contest via a phone conversation with Lance Egan. Tim Rajeff won with a cast of 116' 10". Second was Gareth Jones with a cast of 115'8" and third was Jeff Currier with a 112'10". The ISE champion of the last two years, Jim Gunderson cast as well but had out of bounds problems. Apparently he had a cast of over 117' but landed a few inches out of bounds. I am not sure if he or Tim had the longest of the day but Tim had the one that counted. I guess that evens things up from last year's finals as Tim had the longest cast but was out of bounds by 3-4 inches and Jim ended up with the best inbounds cast (and a drift boat). I guess the competition is getting a little tighter at the top as everyone gets to watch, analyze and emulate the big casts. Good Luck to Jim Gunderson and Lance Egan as I am sure they are going to try to qualify for SLC. (Salt Lake City finals) Congrats to Tim Rajeff on the win. Graham.
SACRAMENTO CALIFONIA INTERNATIONAL SPORTSMEN'S EXPOSITION JANUARY 19, 2003 FIVE WEIGHT FLY DISTANCE CONTEST Graham Anderson galloped into Sacramento from Calgary to see the ISE show and here is his report. Here are the results of the Sacraamento ISE show. First was Rick Hartman with 98'4". Second Graham Anderson, 96'5" and third was Floyd Dean at 92'8". In the Juniors Dustin Revel had an impressive 79' cast for the win. Pretty decent cast for barely 5' tall and 13 years old. The casting was done indoors and it was a difficult place to cast for being inside. They had the backstop at 80'and since most of the men were false casting around that or more you either had to false cast under 80' or let it hit the backstop or make a high backcast over the frame and hope it didn't nick or tick the top of the frame on the forward cast. Most of the casters were commenting on how windy it was inside the building as there was a main row of doors opening and closing off the front of the casting lane and a row of mezzanine doors opening up and to the side of the casting lane. Even so, it was consistent and it was fair to all casters. Rick Hartman has improved significantly this year by adopting a backcast a bit similar to Lance Egan's and Jim Gunderson's. Also, Rick has a right foot forward (right hand cast) style and is one of the few that really does well in the distance with that style. Rick should be able to be competitive this year with guys like Jim Gunderson, Tim Rajeff etc. For the guys at that level it's a matter of who stays in bounds and who can keep the nerves together. Like Yogi Berra said it's 90% mental and the other half physical.
Results January 12 2003 International Sportsmen's Exposition distance contest at Pomona, California show. Graham Anderson, a skilled caster from Calgary, Alberta, Canada was at the show and has very kindly sent me his account, which is reproduced below. He competes in these and missed being in the 2002 Salt Lake City finals by a few inches. He is still thirsting for that drift boat so go Graham. You have to win at a show to compete in Salt Lake for the big prize.
Bill: Just to let you know that Ian Walker won the Pomona ISE show again this year with a cast of 109'10". Lance Egan was second with a 107' even and Gary Borger was third with a 106'7". Conditions were good with light to no wind most of the time. Not sure why but the lighting was such that it was very hard to see the backcast but was consistent for everyone. The contestants now have 4 factory rods to choose from and most of the casters chose either the Sage TCR 5 wt or the Loomis Trilogy 5 wt. The are still using the ISE flylines that they used last year, which are 130' by an undisclosed manufacturer. they are a long bellied 5 wt line and in my opinion are similar to a SA XXD or Rio Longcast. Ian had the long cast on his 4th and final cast and once again made it count when he had to. Ian has a very smooth stroke and is very disciplined with his final delivery as opposed to some of the casters who false cast nicely and then come slightly apart with the final forward cast. I am sure some of the tournament casting he does helps control the jitters and helps with the discipline. Fine job and Good Luck to Ian at SLC finals in March. Graham.
RESULTS CHICAGO NATIONAL INDOORS ACCURACY January 4 and 5, 2003 Your faithful correspondent has first round scores and first place winners but cannot provide all the scores of cast offs so the first three places and ties will be posted without information on the cast off scores or results other than first place. My apologies to the contestants. Even so the hospitality of the Boat and RV show sponsor is much appreciated and the casting pond facility was just fine. It is indeed a broadening experience to cast before crowds of strangers and might be compared to casting to that huge rise while a bear or a bathing beauty is across the river. 1/4 Oz.
