Nordic Open 2011 Flycasting Challenge - Göteborg, Sweden 1st and 2nd of October

I know, I had no trouble throwing it around, just making it work properly, and that costs in the lack of muscles department :p Also, those 6 minutes was the first time ever I had a 18 footer and a 100 feet shootinghead in my hands... I can easily see me getting addicted to that, but first needs an 18 footer and those are hard to come by

Cheers

Not that hard to come by actually. There was a thread in speypages a while back about 18' footers...

Hello all,

I would be interested to know how the weather conditions were !
Was casting with Tailwind, especially in "Trout Distance" ?

Someone might talk about the weather conditions in the individual disciplines?

Hi Thomas

Basicly no wind all of saturday, we had a slight breeze spring up now and again during the finals, but nothing dramatic. Sunday started without wind, then a slight twirling wind blew up during most of the day, but as the 15 foot and seatroput spey where pretty sheltered with trees all along it didn't really matter there. the 18 footer had it in from the side, and it hurt a few casters during the final.

Both days started very misty and heavy as can be seen on the pics that are cirling the web, also quite a few videos show the conditions pretty well

Cheers
Lasse

Hi Lasse,

thanks for the information !
The results speak for themselves.

I still haven't found any videos.
