Salmon Distance http://www.wcflycasting.com/upload/Result%20-%20Salmon.pdf

Spey Distance 18' 1" http://www.wcflycasting.com/upload/Result%20-%20Salmon.pdf

The word on the net is that wind, or the lack of wind depending on the casting order, is playing a big part in the results.

The 15' class is good but dear god the 18' class should contact NASA! That is a seriously long way!
50m isn't far from what some folk do on Scottish river just to catch fish but 66.5m is sniper territory. Can't wait for the finals.

Must look on youtube...

I really fancy a shot at the accuracy casting. I bet that is a lot harder than it looks!

How many points do you get deducted for hitting the guys in the pontoons??
