ANOTHER PRIZE MONEY CASTING GAME
The TED TRUEBLOOD CHAPTER OF TROUT UNLIMITED, BOISE ID. http://www.tedtruebloodtu.org/flycasting is continuing the fly casting golf tournament trail tradition of the Bend Oregon chapter with it's Saturday, May 14, 2011 cash prize golf game at Eagle Island State Park, near Boise. This is a fund raiser for a local game fish conservation project with $3,000.00 in prize money on a 12-14 hole course to be laid out and posted on the Internet by March 31. There will be a $500.00 entry fee for each four person team, limited to 30 teams in two skill level divisions. A "Casting for Fun" contest for $25.00 a pop spectators follows the money game and, true to time honored tradition for getting a big entry there will be lunch for all entrants. (Do you suppose anyone will wear plaid pants on the course?) (do the fish care?)
Fly Casting Forum has a policy of posting the top three and ties in any casting contest we can track down so be sure to bring your dark glasses and alias if you want to play anonymously. (Or bring a bunch of buddies)
BULLETIN: There is a new prize money fly casting competition series which had it's first tournament in Rexburg Idaho January 22, 2011. The tournament sponsor has a very instructive website FLY CASTING CHAMPIONSHIPS . The URL is http://flycastingchampionships.com. This site describes a series of prize money casting contests, with classes defined by the participants average long cast with a six weight rod and a six weight floating line. There is an entry fee and part of the entry fee goes into the prize pool. A contestant can enter more than once in the same contest and have more than one chance to s core, thus taking much of the tension out of this casting game, which is patterned after the American Casting Association "Five Weight Game. The Five Weight Game has eight casts to targets, with an obstacle guarding some targets, followed by two long casts for distance. The combined score from accuracy and distance determines the final score.There were contests in Ogden Utah February 11 - 13 and Bozeman Montana, February 18-20. These contests will be followed on the Fly Casting Tournament and Contest News pages of this website, linked below.Other contests around the country will be announced as arrangements are finalized. The format of the contest circuit resembles the professional golf tournament schedule and prize money from sponsors is in the offing

Fly Casting Forum moved to " WWW.FLYCASTINGFORUM.NET on March 15, 2010. We have our very own domain name and will continue to respond to mail at slowsnap@att.net until further notice, if not forever. On this permanent site we will flex what's left of our brain muscles and have pictures and maybe some videos as well. The reason Fly Casting Forum has placed so high in the Google world is because of the number of people who link to us. We hope they will find it pleasing to link to the new site so that we will be near the top of the fly casting and fly fishing searches. ATT Worldnet discontinued their web hosting service as of March 31 so we now have our own permanent home for the duration. There are a number of very informative fly casting and fly fishing sites now and we hope to play in their league.

TROUT UNLIMITED ORVIS 2ND ANNUAL NORTH AMERICAN FLY CASTING TOURNAMENT BEND OREGON August 13, 14, 15, 2010
Partners Orvis and Deschutes Chapter 522, Trout Unlimited North American Fly Casting Championships took place at the Bend Oregon Fly Casting Golf course at the Old Mill shopping mall on the banks of the Deschutes River in Bend. The course, the first permanently installed fly casting golf in the United States (or the world) is 18 holes of challenging and fun casting situations which hone the fly fisher's skills and provide realistic duplications of classic fly fishing scenarios - complete with curious cruising large trout from time to time, particularly under the bridges on the course.
The first hole is a five weight cast from the Orvis store and continues past restaurants, bars (horrors) and shops for about a mile circuit along both sides of the world renowned Deschutes river with hole 18 a five weight cast from the very same Orvis store. (what a coincidence) Fly fishers share the river with boaters, innertubers and, in the summer, a bountiful hatch of bikinis on warm days. (the world is waiting for a bikini fly pattern) Each hole has three tasks for par graduated for three skill levels but all addressing the same casting problem.

INTERNATIONAL SPORTSMAN'S EXPOSITION FLY CASTING CONTESTS COMING UP
This is comparable to the Skins Game played at the 2010
Bend Oregon, Trout Unlimited - Orvis fly casting golf extravaganza,
discussed up page from this entry - except for more money to
enter and to win. The Orvis - TU game is in a golf like context and
this game is closer to the five weight game. Both games are fast movers and
an entertaining challenge for the fly fisher jaded by too many eight pound
trout trying to destroy his old fly rod friend.

FIVE WEIGHT GAME The American Casting Association Five Weight Game is being played around the country these days. Here are a few scores and some comments. Two concentric rings 30 and 54 inches in diameter describes the five targets used and there are eight scoring casts to them. Absent penalties, the caster gets 100 points minimum for each target with 300 points for getting into the 54 incher and 500 points for the 30 incher. The minimum accuracy score is 800 - 100 points per target and the maximum is 4000, 500 points per target. The distance score is ten times the total of the two longest distance casts. Target distances range from twenty feet to eighty feet though I have never seen an eighty footer in a game. Generally - seventy feet down to sixty feet for the long one. The second target requires a curve cast to avoid draping the line on the first target which is touching the second target on a direct line to the center of the casting box. Some casters settle for 300 by casting straight to the edge of the 54 inch ring while keeping one foot inside the 4 foot casting box and streeeeetching out. The curve is more fun. I have never even wanted to cast a curve to a fish but it is fun to play with the curve. It is all about touch and feeling the line.

Some comments: The ACA rules require a weight forward floating line with a belly between 35 and 42 feet and specific weight limits as well as a minimum length of 88 feet. . The Washington FFF supplies and requires competitors to use the SA XXD which has 63 feet of belly and 105 feet of length. The longer and heavier belly is an advantage for distance and may approach the efficiency of an 85 foot double taper which will cast a straighter and more composed loop than any weight forward line. Many competent casters feel that an eighty-five foot double taper is a better distance weapon than a weight forward because it allows a better and more sweetly controlled line profile and gets into really small running line at 85 feet rather than the 105 floating line feet of traditional weight forwards. There is a recent casting book, published in 2009, whose prominant author maintains that an effective double haul cannot accomplished with a double taper line- only with a weight forward . I would beg to differ with him. The double taper is an advantage in shooting the sixty to eighty foot bonus target with unlimited false casts. It does pay to lubricate the line, more so with the double taper than the weight forward. A freshly dressed double taper is a sweet casting thing and doesn't pick up algae etc. as much as a dirty or rough line. I noticed that several of the big boys at Ellensburg were false casting the distance to the bonus target which was a little over sixty feet out. There is always a trade off between false casting a longer line and getting better results with a shorter more composed false cast and a shoot to the target. A double taper makes this an easier choice. Another distinction of the Washington rules, which are described as being 40 % different from the ACA rules, is the Washington requirement that the line be stripped off the reel only while the contestant is "casting". The better part of valor would seem to be to strip it all out while casting twenty feet backwards and then arranging the line in a suitable way for the longer casts without stepping out of the casting box. There is a 100 point penalty for stepping out of the casting box. The tick penalties are more understandable by Washington rules - 100 points - rather than 10% of an unknown future score. The prudent caster will false cast quite a bit higher over grass than water due to the greater uncertainty of detecting ticks on grass compared to the clearly visible tick on water. Since there can be a tick penalty when the fly has been lost it is important for the caster to be sure of the presence of the fly and stop false casting when there is any inkling that the fly may have been lost. The five weight game is an entertaining practice of multiple aspects of fly fishing. It goes quickly and packs a variety of casting skills into one package. If there were to be a single game the five weight game would be right up there competing with the trout fly game as a test of all around skill. It is easy to play on the lawn and easy to practice at home.
ORVIS TROUT UNLIMITED BEND FLY CASTING GOLF GAMES RESULTS
NEW GAME IN TOWN
The Bay area was Johnny On the Spot with representatives at the NEW GAME IN TOWN - Fly Casting Golf. Orvis has, in cooperation with the City of Bend, Oregon, inspired (with a substantial cash and inspiration infusion) the creation of a permanent outdoor 18 hole fly casting golf game on the banks of the Deschutes River in Bend and, by a great coincidence, roughly one bass bug long target from the back door of the Bend Orvis shop. Orvis devoted big bucks to the creation of this gem of a fly casting experience. There is a gallery for some of the holes which lie between the river and restaurant row but most of the holes are very private, either across the river or away from the shopping area. The one big problem is concentration. If you look over the side of the second bridge you cross to complete the course you will frequently see significant sized trout hanging in the shadows away from the birds and other predators.
There were three classes : Amateurs plus Men and Women’s Advanced. Amateurs were people not involved with the industry, prior competitive fly games or instructors or certified instructors. The games were played on September 18, 19 and 20, 2009. the entry fee was twenty five dollars per player, with an included complementary buffet get together on Friday evening, the 18th, in the Orvis store at course side. The event was sponsored by Orvis and the DesChutes chapter of Trout Unlimited. The TU club was integral to the success of the bash providing officials and assistance in the logistics and care of the course. ( there were no sand traps to rake)
The course (which has eighteen stations of targets or casting tasks) is scored like 18 holes of golf with a par assigned to each station (hole) and a maximum of 8 added bogey strokes. A tick counts as a stroke. The first station (hole) starts beside the Orvis parking lot with some casts to targets sunk into the grass. The next holes are across the street for three fancy roll casting holes on a couple of ponds. It then rambles up river to a vertical target to cast through. After that there are casts and curve casts under trees, single or double handed spey type casts in the river a 150 foot distance hole with an eight inch target for the expert class and a succession of roll, target, distance and off hand casting challenges to the eighteenth hole which is a curve casting situation. For the heavy hitters one distance hole is over 500 feet long with a tree on the fairway. One of the fisher people was on hand to compete with his golf cart containing several rods. The caster can use as many rods as desired, up to ten feet in length and many of the competitors used several rods for different situations.
There are rules panels at each hole describing three levels of difficulty with a par assigned. The maximum number of bogey strokes is eight over par. The pars run from 2 to ten and generally are the same for all three levels but with more difficult requirements for the more experienced players.
The contest was eleven holes for the advanced men’s segment and a lesser number of holes for the other divisions. Casting on the river holes was not a good idea on a weekend with boaters about so all the casts were on grass or ponds near the river.
Roll casting is a big part of this game and roll casting is a big part of fishing when you consider the roll cast pickup and the slick way a roll cast can get the fly out under or in front of vegetation or other obstacles.
Par for the eleven hole game was 49 and the first three in the men’s advanced division were Steve Rajeff, 58, Henry Mittel, 62, and Tim Rajeff. Floyd Dean was fourth and Brian O’Keefe was fifth with sixth being decided by a roll casting cast off between Chase Jablonski, of Spokane, Washington and Matt Paluch of Moses Lake, Washington. Matt hit the fifty foot target on his second roll cast. ( the rules permitted the caster to overhead cast out to the vicinity of the target) However Matt put some more chips on the table by advising Chase that if Chase hit the target on his first cast Matt would jump into the pond. You guessed it. Matt got wet. Every camera in the county was trained on him when he hit the water so who knows how many people around the globe know about Matt and Chase and fly casting golf by now. Great theater and Matt was as good as his word. PICTURES MORE PICTURES EVEN MORE PICTURES
Katherine Hart won the women’s advanced with Lee Ann Ross second and Peg Van Natter third.
Orvis sprang for some significant prizes. A 12 foot kayak for the amateur winner, $3000 for advanced men’s first and a $4200 fishing trip for advanced women’s first with significant cash and merchandise prizes for others as well.
Orvis and Trout Unlimited did not invent fly casting golf but they have certainly thrust it into a serious side of the fly fishing life. We look forward to visiting Bend to play the course in the morning and fish the rest of the day. This is the only permanent installation I know of but the concept can be bundled into a series of holes that are easy to set up on any available and suitable body of water. The site of the Seattle Casting Club in Seattle was turned into a pitch and putt golf course so it is time for casting to strike back. There are nine hole golf courses and twenty seven hole golf courses. Other casting golf games are projected around the country so it will be interesting to see if this catches on. There are numerous fishing contests that have a first round of casting competition with places in the fishing contest as prizes. This Bend golf game is fun and is so varied that everyone can find some part of it to excel in. One of the holes gave four strokes to hit a seventy and an eighty foot target. Now that is a challenge.. The rules allowed any number of single hand rods up to ten feet in length with the leader no less than 7 ½ feet, allowing 24 inches of mono butt section before an Orvis 7 ½ foot leader supplied by Orvis. No shooting heads or marked lines allowed but multicolored factory lines are legal. Lines must be integrated, floating and in their original length.
Mini fly casting golf games can be set up with little expense and effort by local fishing and casting clubs at their meetings or picnics or outings . The games are a hoot because the situations can be varied and handicapped so that the same people do not win all the time, just like golf. A few years back the American Museum of Fly Fishing had casting golf games at some of it’s banquet-auctions with high end fly rods for prizes. ( Playing the golf medal play game – play to win each hole and count the holes won or lost rather than total score for three, five, nine or eighteen holes. That is the way the President’s Cup at Harding Park (in San Francisco) was played for one million dollars or some such figure during the 2009 Northwestern. A disastrous hole doesn't boot you out of the running. And, they are clearly fishing situations – with bushes around etc.- which illustrate the usefulness of learning to hit a target with a controlled stroke. Collapsible targets for judging rings are easy and cheap to make. Inch and a half plastic tubing makes a beautiful target set that can be carried in bags that fit in even a small car. Six targets to a bag are about right. A member of the San Jose Club made many sets of gorgeous targets with a home made jig a few years back.
