Bistro!
Ninfa vista, tanto en corto como en largo; ninfa larga a la línea; tandem; seca a vista… todo complementado con instrucción en técnicas de presentación.
Y muchos peces con los que entretenerse: truchas y, sobre todo, tímalos de tamaño trofeo (hasta 50+ cm) a los que estar presentando tu mosca durante todo el día.
Si te llama la pesca fina y a pez visto no dejes pasar esta oportunidad de aprender cosas nuevas disfrutando de los ríos más emblemáticos de Bosnia.
Inscripción abierta para la temporada 2021.
See You!
It was seven years ago that One More Last Cast was born. It has reached 188 posts, and putting all that in place has taken more hours than I can reckon.
There are still quite a few ideas going around my head —some of them in draft form—, as well as some video material for editing.
Unfortunately what I don’t have anymore is motivation.
Thanks a lot to those who have been following my follies.
Who knows, maybe I will resume this project in the future. Anyway, keep casting and fishing —that is, look for beauty wherever it is.
Take care,
Aitor
La analogía
Si hay algo claro en la instrucción de lanzado a mosca es que el “café para todos” no vale. Cada pescador es distinto, y a la hora de transmitir conceptos nuevos es vital tener una “caja de herramientas” bien surtida. Y, probablemente, las herramientas más importantes son las analogías, así que, para un instructor, es vital hacerse con la mayor cantidad de ellas posible; nunca se sabe cuál será la que encienda la luz clasificadora.
En lo que se refiere al concepto de traslación/rotación, la analogía que Albano nos presenta en este vídeo es la mejor que he conocido hasta la fecha. 😂😂
Contra el viento
“Quería salir a entrenar estos días, pero con este viento…”
¡Cuántas veces habré oído esa frase o alguna similar! Curiosamente, son también numerosas las ocasiones en las que me he dicho a mí mismo:

Taller teórico/práctico de lanzado a mosca
Tras el éxito de los talleres de lanzado Spey que Juan Luis del Carmen y yo impartimos juntos este año en Australia, en breve tendremos la oportunidad de aprender de este gran instructor mucho más cerca de casa.
Nuestra experiencia de trabajo conjunto ha servido para poner en común muchas ideas —tanto de técnicas de lanzado como de instrucción— que vamos a desarrollar en este novedoso taller que ahora os ofrecemos.
Dos instructores, cada uno con su estilo, ofreciendo un enfoque distinto al habitual.
Stay focused!
“Every time you cast you are training yourself. If you train yourself incorrectly, then you have to both unlearn that incorrect training and relearn the correct one. Why waste your time?”
Jason Borger
Practice is the only way of getting better, but firing cast after cast without giving them a second thought is counterproductive. Learn to analyze line shapes and stay focused on them on every cast. Excessively wide loops, unintended waves, tracking faults… should be identified and its source diagnosed; after that, try again, focusing on correcting the motion lying behind that fault.
Better to make 100 conscious casts in a session than 1.000 while staring holes in the air.
As I like to say to my students:
If you keep training your faults you’ll eventually get perfect mistakes.
Nothing New Under the Sun II
Stroke length and stroke angle —or translation and rotation, if you choose to be more technical— are two of the key elements of the casting stroke. Good technique asks for those two elements to be used in the proper sequence —that is, starting with translation only and applying rotation at the end of the stroke—, what has been called delayed rotation, although my mate Bernd Ziesche prefers to say:
Continue reading“It is not delayed rotation, it is rotation at the right time.”
Hump Mend Anyone?
It is known by different names depending on the author, Bucket Cast or Hump Mend being the most popular ones. I first read about this technique close to twenty years ago now. At the time I was far from possesing the skills needed, as proved my clumsy first attempts. I used to comfort myself by thinking that its use in practical situations was very limited; but that was just a cheap excuse to avoid some frustrating training sessions.
It isn’t that unusual to find a fish feeding in the slack water upstream of a submerged rock, or in the pocket water behind it, is it? There, a conventional straight line cast leaves the fly line at the mercy of the fastest currents downstream of the fish that will make your fly to drag immediately.
Haul and Release
“Haul at the end of the stroke, release when you run out of haul. If, at first, the latter doesn’t happen at —or, preferably, before— the rod straight position, haul faster the next time.”
