Equipment
Rod:  Must be model that is or has been available for sale to the general public
15’1” maximum length
Line: Floating synthetic line, either full line or shooting head.  No restrictions on running line.
Leader:  9 foot minimum, 15 foot maximum.
Fly: Will be supplied

Required casts
Casters can use whatever cast they choose in four situations:

Line from the right – over right shoulder and over left shoulder
Line from the left – over right shoulder and over left shoulder

Casting Rules
Change of direction will be set by markers at about 40 degrees (same as 2005)
Caster will be in water – about 3 feet deep
There will be a barrier 35 feet behind the caster.  No penalty for hitting it, but it may affect the cast
Fly must anchor in front of caster 
If Perry Poke used, only one “dump” allowed per cast and fly may not leave water on “dump”.
Once a cast is begun, it counts as a scoring cast.
An inadvertent “extra” cast in a required category will not be counted against the caster’s allowed casts in any other category, but will use the caster’s time.
