Danish Fly Casting Game by Floyd Franke
Welcome to the new and exciting world of Danish Fly Casting. The name serves to honor Poul Jorgensen who has lobbied long and hard for an obstacle course for fly casters. The course consists of nine casting stations, each presenting a casting challenge. The object of the game is to get the fly in the ring (36 inch ring) in the least number of casts. There are no restrictions on the use of equipment, except the use of a metal hook is prohibited. A small yarn fly is used. Begin at station #1, proceed to station #2 then #3, and so on until you’ve cast at all nine stations. To score, add 1 demerit for each unsuccessful cast. Maximum for any one station is 10 demerits. Remember the real object of the game is to have fun. If you wish to play for a prize you must declare it before you start, have your score certified by DFCG Official and enter it in the competition.

spot to the target. Repeat until the fly lands in the ring.
