Abstract:
1. A fly casting training apparatus for simulating fly casting comprising: an elongated body having an axis, a proximal end, and a distal end, the proximal end suitable for gripping, said elongated body having the approximate weight of a fly rod; a movable member movably coupled to the elongated body, wherein the movable member translates substantially axially along the elongated body; a first stop mechanism coupled to the elongated body, the first stop mechanism limiting the translation of the movable member in the proximal direction of axial movement of the movable body; a second stop mechanism coupled to the elongated body, the second stop mechanism limiting the translation of the movable member in the proximal direction of axial movement of the movable body; wherein a fly casting motion performed on the fly casting training apparatus causes movement of the moveable member relative to the elongated body.
