Spey-O-Rama 2012 - San Francisco

Post by sms »

Men's qualifying unofficial results (unbelievable level) are attached.

Travis actually had a tackle failure during his round and had to borrow team mate's set. That is remarkable result with a set that is not for him and under time pressure (he did not get to cast nearly all his casts allowed). I think there is much in reserve in the right hand up casts (155 and 157) so Gerard must watch out. And today is not yesterday, Tommy, Geir, etc can step up.

Based on the video stream the conditions seemed good, tailing wind from the right.

Not just good. Amazing. Especially considering one has to have a line that is a compromise between single spey and snake roll and one is casting from 3ft deep water with a 15' rod.
