Went out on the pond with Ivan, my fishing buddy.  Ivan is trying to improve on his fly casting skills.  I advised him on what lures I’ve been using to catch Crappie, the small black and silver minnow.  Ivan has not been fishing for a while and his flycasting was not up to par but…he did catch a few crappie.  I noticed that his back cast was not correct and his wrist action and coordination when false casting was not timed correctly.  He did however, show some improvemnt toward the end of the day.  It wasn’t the best day to be flycasting as the wind was fairly strong and impeded the back cast.  We did catch about 25 crappie in all but no bass, bluegill, or catfish.  We’ll try again soon.
