The Branson Chapter of MTFA invites members of the Springfield to join us in our first annual first annual fly rod games. To be held in conjunction with their June 1, 2022 monthly meeting and pot luck. To be held at Branson Lions Club, 1015 E. Hwy 76. Potluck dinner at 6:00PM, casting games begin at 7:00PM.
So, bring your favorite trout rod and have some fun. We will have four different games: Wet fly, Dry Fly, Shoot the Hoop and distance.
Wet Fly: five targets, between twenty and forty feet. The caster begins with the fly in hand and no line extended from the reel. The caster may take as many false casts till he/she feels that is ready to cast to the first target, once he has cast to the first target he only gets one false cast between each of the next four targets. A perfect score is when you hit the target = 0, for each foot from the target you get a demerit of one. Caster with the lowest score wins.
Dry Fly: The caster begins as above, however, he/she gets as many false casts as they want between targets but will be limited to one minute from the time the first target is cast to complete all five targets! Scoring is the same as previous game.
Shoot the hoop: The caster will be required to shoot a loop of fly line through a successive series of ever smaller hoops. Timed.
Distance: Using a rod with a standard 5 or 6 wt., Floating line, the caster will get three casts for score.
Tournament flies will be provided.
Scoring is just for fun; everyone is welcome to participate.
