thanks for posting that.


AOL. Always good to hear how others do it - my (on topic for this group)
fishing rarely requires more than a gently amble but I do make some fairly
rugged trecks along the coast at times when off topic (Did you ever take
your two hander to the swillies Dave?)

Ohhh, how I know what you mean about the
wind in such places being a pain. I often get up to llyn Idwal, and
the wind thre can do just what you describe, turning 180 mid-cast.


It can be a problem under the cliffs too. I've learned to cast, to some
extent, with either hand; switching hands mid-cast is not the answer.
In salt water I can often get away with using a short length of very heavy
line as a SH - would this help on the upland loughs? When it's that tough
it's usually choppy enough to disguise a splashy delivery.

Cheerio,
