Salmon from Grímsá river. In my professional life, good instructional videos were priceless to me. However, I did not get much help from the videos before I had mastered the basics, and only then did I understand what was going on, and they became extremely valuable. So, I think complex motion is very hard to teach to beginners unless some basics are mastered first. We all have seen on some thread or the other that a beginner queries. " How can I learn to fly cast ?” The ans

Grímsárlax Í starfi mínu voru gæða myndbönd ómetanleg. En ég hafði ekki neitt gagn af þeim fyrr en ég hafði lært og skilið grundvallaratriðin. Þá fyrst urðu myndböndin ákaflega verðmæt fyrir mig. Það er mjög torvelt að kenna byrjendum flóknar hreyfingar án undirstöðu í grundvallar þekkingu. Við höfum öll séð á spjallrásum spurningu byrjenda – „ hvernig get ég lært að kasta “. Ekki stendur á svörum. „ Veiðibúðin x hefur fín myndbönd – þú lærir þetta eins og skot. “ Eða eitthva

“ Why can’t I cast this Clouser ?” is a question I often get. “ I am using my #8 rod and #8 line, and I have no control over it .” The misbehaving Clouser usually has big lead eyes and is very heavy . We all have experienced this problem at varying stages of our development. To analyze  the situation, we consider the equipment. The rod Of course, we use what we have, but soft rods are not ideal in the salt. The line The line’s weight must match the fly's mass . So, it follows

„ Hvers vegna get ég ekki kastað þessum Clouser? “ – er spurning sem ég oft fæ en Clouser er þyngd saltfluga. „ Ég nota #8 stöng og #8 línu og hef enga stjórn á flugunni “. Clouser er straumfluga og hefur augu sem oftlega eru úr blýi og getur því verið mjög þung. Allir flugukstarar hafa reynslu af þessum vanda á þroskaferli sínum. Til að skoða málið þarf fyrst að velta fyrir sér úbúnaði og skoða hann. Stöngin Auðvitað notum við bara það sem við höfum en mjúkar stangir eru ekk
