Distance casting

A recording about distance casting and casting distance - with guest appearances by a dog, cows, seals, porpoises and a trout

This episode
In this episode I talk about casting and casting distance - all ignited by the Danish championships in fly casting and a small lawn casting session with friends. And I try to control my dog on a large field of cows, which is not easy.
A bit long this time, I admit, but I hope you forgive me...

Good podcast. I have also enjoyed the "cowy" parts :). Once again, I missed the championship and the field-ship :(

The Underwater World of Trout

There is simply too much information in these DVD's to condense in a single review. If a picture if worth a thousand words - then how much is a couple hours of moving pictures like these worth? More than I can guess.
