On
the 14th April, 2002 the first Leveller Event was held at
the Maroochydore Yacht Club.
The
Event was held in conjunction with the presentation of awards
of the Sunshine Coast's Saltwater Flyfishers Longtail Tuna
Chase Tournament.
Weather,
29 degrees, overcast, wind 15 knots at 45 degrees to the
casters shoulder.
Of
the 60 plus competitors who took place in the exciting Fly
Fish, only, Tuna Tournament only 15 casters were willing
to show their capabilities, notable missing persons were
a number of 'gun' casters. Why ?
The
best cast and winner of the Aurora Conquest 5/6w - 8foot
rod, Conquest fly reel and Talon 6w - WF - F fly line was
Jackson Marrs from South Maroochydore, Queensland.
The
runner - up was Paul Meneely of Yeronga, Queensland, Pauls
only been fly casting for 3 years and treated some of the
'names' to a how to lesson.
The
Distances, these distances were achieved with a AU$135.00
rod ! This is just not any rod, its a Talon Aurora package.
The people how are changing the value for money rules.
