    Default City Casts

    Well today for lunch break I took a meander around our new City of Sunnyvale Plaza.

    As I sat in one of the many benches spaced nicely I took a fine look at the meatal structures of the plaza.

    Get this , all stainless smooth railings hooked
    round into nice curves. The support posts
    for the awnings have 36" brass rings round them that are also smooth surface 1/2 dozen or so spaced 8 ten feet apart in a 3/4" circle around 150 feet or so,

    This shape, size and spacing of all this nice metal work lends to nice casts from a central location anywhere from 30 to 60 feet in each direction,

    The awaning itself about 15foot off the deck will be nice to practice picking leaves and landing
    a yarned leader draped over the structure with nothing at all to get caught up on.

    I could easily see six different specialty casts
    to practice on. There are also three large
    strips of grass to cast on.

    All this plus the place is nicely lit at night.

    I am heading for the place this Saturday Morn
    with ROD in hand. Might just stay for the evening hatch..
    I know there is a big one under one of the recycle receptacles

    WOW talk about cabin fever huh!

    Way too much time for lunch.
    Too much time for lunch.
    You should get out more.
    Less coffee.
    Not enough adult beverages.
    Too much reliance on manmade structures.
    All of the above.

    Sounds like Steve has been bitten by the Rod Iron Rainbows.

    Remember to practice safe catch and release techniques!

    Casting for some City bench blues with a Sky scraper
    sallie!

    Think I'll head to the local Starshop for some
    coffee and a fishing report..

    Come to think of it, I have been in my local
    starbucks with fly rod in hand more than once.
    I better start to be careful the police may post
    the area as no fishing.

    Geeze!
