FLY CASTING SYSTEMS


These are Bill Nash's pages.



Big  striper was 30.6#, caught Oct. 23, 1999, SF Delta @ Franks Tract, on a 2/0 FT, white, whistler fly, using an LC-13 head on a 9wt Rod.

The fish was briefly hoisted from the water for the photo. and then released.  

     I have a strong interest in fishing, Fly fishing in particular and have written short articles about fly casting and fly
     casting systems which I have published on the web to help other fly casters improve their skills and avoid  some of the
     mistakes I have made.

    I occaisionally lead seminars on knots and the assembly of loop interconnected fly casting systems. To facillitate the
    presentations I have produced a manual "Fly Casting Systems" and Video's explaining system assembly and the when,
    where, and why to use various knots.
