![]() ![]() Each contestant will be offered a Wulff triangle taper floating line, which will be used in the accuracy competition, or a reel with line will be available for those not wishing to purchase a line. Royal Wulff has agreed to make lines available to the entrants at a nominal cost. The casters will set up the scoring in such a way as to make distance and accuracy count about equally. ![]() Scoring will once again be based on a combination of distance casting, and accuracy targets, which will be set at distances out to 50 feet. ![]() We are leaving such things as weight, number of sections, etc. We are suggesting, but not specifying that the reel seat be uplocking as a good practice to extend the butt extension a bit, and also suggesting a larger than normal stripping guide to aid in distance casting. We are also specifying that there be a 1" minimum length butt extension, which is counted in the overall length, and can be either permanent or removable. The rod should be 9 feet long +/- 1.00", the rod shaft made from Tonkin cane exclusively except for the ferrules, which can be of any material. The idea is to build what might be known as a lake rod, or perhaps a boat rod, designed for longer casts on larger waters where the possibility of hooking a larger fish exists. The committee will be meeting shortly to work out the many details that go into setting up the programs and logistics that go into making the event a success.įor now, I can report that the rod configuration selected for the Demarest design competition is a 9 foot 6 weight. As in the past, the gathering will be held the weekend after the Labor Day holiday, which this year puts the event dates on the 9th, 10th and 11th of September. As noted above, The 2022 Catskills Rodmakers Gathering will be held at the Catskill Fly Fishing Center. ![]()
