Some basic questions. Got a 100%.

Yep, 100% also. However I thought the question about what is going to make your cast easier needed some extra info - if I'm wanting to cast a curve then tracking straight isn't going to make things easier.

i got the last one wrong, i ticked 'wait till the fly touches the ground to load the rod' cos i thought it was the most stupid answer was it ment to be the other way round?

anyway, you all cheated by reading the question properly

not sure about the abrupt stop, sounds a bit brutal.
