Sincere congratulations, Mr. Ziesche!!!

Great flycasters don't think straight - they track straight.....

If it moves - and shouldn't, use duct tape...
If it's stuck - and should move, use WD40...

Hi everyone :)
Many thanks for all the kind words!!!
Since I believe the only cert that matters is the result of my students, I give this one to my own teachers! I want thank Lee C. and Paul A. since it was them who were my teachers especially in regard of Spey casting.
I also want to thank Steve K. and Ben D. for providing me with serious good hints in advance!
And then there were Tony R. (outstanding Spey caster), Vic (and others) offering me a fantastic exchange of very well thought fly casting knowledge! Thanks a lot!!!

Some pics of this fantastic weekend in great company:
