ONThe sound of a fly-fishing rod sn

back as it gains momentum can an addictive one and that perfec

catch on a fly rod is even more

irresistible.

Mature Matters spent the afterno

with Captain Larry Miniard andDr. Raleigh Thompson in one of

Jacksonvilles most scenic areas, th

Intracoastal Waterway. From cast

to tying a fly, Miniard gives us the

ins and outs of what makes a grea

fly fisherman.

By Roxie Lute

Every new fly fisherman should do his or h

homework. Practice casting in your front ya

with a ribbon acting as your fly. Dont try to lea

the fundamentals on the boat.

When choosing a rod, keep note that qual

really does make a difference.

One of the biggest mistakes a fly-fisherman c

make is attempting to cast far. Its better to acc

rately cast 30 feet than to shoot for an 80-fo

cast. You only have one or two chances to cat

a fish so accuracy is paramount.

The best times to fish are the last couple

hours of an outgoing tide and the first coup

hours of an incoming tide.

Clockwise from top: Dr. Raleigh

Thompson (left) and Captain Larry

quiet, Captain Miniard uses a pole

to maneuver the boat instead of the

motor; a hand-made finger fly that

Captain Miniard made named for the

artificial nail he uses.

HE FLYCaptain Larry MiniardIllustrates the Art of Fly Fishing

AboutCaptain MiniardAs a Kentucky native,Miniard found that fishingwas a whole new ballgamein Jacksonville whenhe moved here in 1961.Miniard spent a lot oftime in the water himselfas a professional surferrepresenting the UnitedStates in multiple world

competitions. He guidedmany offshore anglers insearch of king fish andtarpon in order to affordfuel, supporting his habit ofishing. After gaining interein light tackle, Miniardstarted experimenting ininshore charters and fly-fishing. After hooking hisfirst red fish on a fly, heknew inshore was the placfor him. Soon enough, he

became sponsored by Orvand fly-fishing became abo40 percent of his business.Captain Miniard guideslonging anglers inshorethroughout North FloridasIntracoastal Waterway.

You can contact

him at 904-285-5373

or visit his website at

www.larryminiard.com.

Dont false cast too much. To avoid this, simplypull out more line. Remember, the rod does all

the work for you.

All casting strokes are divided into two parts: a

long motion where the rod is accelerated and

an ending motion with a faster speed-up-and-

stop of the tip. The shorter the distance the rod

tip travels during the speed-up-and-stop, the

tighter the loop will be. The tighter the loop,

the more powerful the cast.

If you feel the load in your forearm, youre doing

it right. You shouldnt feel any pressure in your

shoulder.

To gain more power in your cast, experiment

with double hauling, especially when fishing

saltwater which may have much windier

conditions.

Watch Captain Miniard teach how to

double haul at http://bit.ly/doublehaul

When casting your line, let it fall in the water

rather than trying to jerk it straight.

Keep the rod tip low for the most effective

strike.

Different stripping techniques can attract dif-ferent types of fish. For example, short strips

mimic the movement of crustaceans attracting

redfish.

When a fish bites, strike to set the line by pulling

the line with your hand.

In the winter, fish can be very lethargic so

search near the mudflats. Many fish like to

enjoy the warmth of shallow water in cold

weather.

When you see a mud puff when searching for

fish that usually means that you just spooked a

fish. Cast near by and hope you catch its eye.

Using a trolling motor might disrupt the fish so

having someone using a pole to maneuver the

boat is an option.

No one wants to lose their dream fish

because of a loose knot. Miniard suggests

using a blood knot to tie leaders, which is

the end made of monofilaments of different

diameters joining the line with the fly. Rapala

knots or loop knots should be used to tie on

your fly. You know youve tied the perfect

know when it looks like a T.

Dr. Thompsondemonstrates how to use

the 10 and 2 rule when

false casting, casting to

lengthen or shorten your

line or change direction.

Pull back and aim to hit 10

oclock with the tip of your

rod then aim for 2 oclock

when false casting.

After casting keep the

fly on the bottom just

stripping, taking in

the line with your hand

instead of reeling, enough

to kick up a little bit of

mud. Striping creates the

movement of the fly.

Dean Willis started donating like

most other folks a family member

needed blood. After donating for the

first time for his father-in-laws 1975

heart bypass surgery, Willis doesnt

really recall why he went back to

give more but he knew it was theright thing to do. Willis continued

multiple times to donate quarter-

pints of platelets, specialized blood cells that help control blood clotting.

The donated platelets are provided to patients undergoing chemotherapy

or organ transplants. According to the American Red Cross, a single

platelet donation can provide enough platelets for a full therapeutic dose

for a patient in need. Willis considered stopping donations after giving

hundreds of platelets, until he received a special call.

l i f e s t y l e G i V i n G b a c k

t was the Blood Alliance asking

Willis to donate earlier than his

scheduled appointment, specificall

for a local child that receives blood on

a frequent basis. The child had begun

rejecting transfused platelets and Willis

held the closest match in the region.

Willis donated to the child at least two

more times. Each time, a representativfrom the hospital was waiting nearby

take the product directly to the patien

for an immediate transfusion.

I determined that a power greater

than me was trying to tell me that

what I was doing was bigger than my

personal interests and comfort, said

Willis. It was then that I decided to

continue donating on a regular basis

as long as my health made it possible.

Here I am 100 gallons later.

The Story of corbyn

The Blood Alliance (TBA) provides

blood to more than 40 hospitals and

medical facilities in Florida, Georgia

and South Carolina. Its safe and

adequate blood supply has supported

the millions of people, like 4-year-old

Corbyn Cammilleri, whose lives depend

on blood transfusions, for the seven

decades of the TBAs existence. The

organization celebrated 70 years this

past October.At 14-months-old, Lynzie Cammilleri

knew her son wasnt feeling well

when he began taking excessive

naps and seemed a bit pale. After

visiting the doctor, his pediatrician

discovered that his hemoglobin, which

is the protein found in red blood cells

that carries oxygen from respiratory

organs to the rest of the body, was

found undetectable. Corbyn was

immediately rushed to the emergency

room. For hours doctors questioned

diagnoses similar to leukemia but noevidence proved certain, preventing an

immediate blood transfusion. If Corbyn

was transfused with blood, his test

results would have been manipulated

and therefore a diagnosis and treatment

could not be determined with accuracy.

The next day after much discussion,

Corbyn received his first blood

transfusion.

The Cammilleri family followed up

at Nemours Childrens Clinic to begin

testing on the blood that was taken

from Corbyn before his transfusion.

After testing both parents and Corbyns

blood, doctors ruled out leukemia

and many types of anemia, but found

that both of Corbyns parents had

presentations of Beta Thalassemia,

a blood disorder that reduces the

production of hemoglobin, giving

Corbyn a 50 percent chance of carrying

Beta Thalassemia Major. This diagnosis

would require Corbyn to receive at least

12 blood transfusions per year. Without

blood transfusions, the result could

be death. Corbyn is the only child at

Nemours who has been diagnosed with

the disease.

Corbyn gets one transfusion every

three weeks for the rest of his life. The

procedure lasts three to four hours

which seems like a lifetime for a child.

Transfusion-reliant patients, such as

Corbyn, are at risk of iron overload and

require chelation therapy to remove

the excess iron which could potentially

damage vital organs. To monitor theiron count in the heart and liver, Corbyn

annually receives a MRI scan. Within

the last four years, technology has

made major improvements in regards

to chelation therapy. Patients typically

had to utilize a blood IV for at least

eight hours while sleeping several times

throughout the week. Some patients are

now able to take a tablet each morning

to manage iron levels instead. Corbyn is

one such patient.

Since diagnosis, Corbyn has had 48

blood transfusions. The only treatmentpossible is a bone marrow transplant

from a matching sibling which still has

a high death risk associated with the

procedure. Corbyns sister, Callie, who

has been tested as well, is not a match.

Its been a short four years but it

has been an incredibly long journey,

said Lynzie Cammilleri. We are so

fortunate to have access to blood and

the clean practice measures of The

Blood Alliance. Theyve been taking

extra care of Corbyn since day one.

The Cammilleri family knows that

Corbyns journey is just beginning.

Theyve already started planning on

finding a college near a transfusion

center and a hospital nearby. The

familys support system continues to

grow and strengthen. They continue to

hold fundraisers, such as blood drives,

for Corbyn.

We have to rely on the only

treatment possible for our son to live,

said Cammilleri. We rely on people for

our sons life.

One person needs blood every two seconds. In 2011, more than 50,500 donors gave blood, helping patients like Corbyn live life to his or her

fullest. Millions of lives have been enriched and saved since 1942, thanks to The Blood Alliance and its pool of generous volunteer donors who

give the gift of life generously, and regularly. Become a blood donor and encourage your patients to do the same. All it takes is a little time.

To stretch or not to stretch? That is the question.

Scientific research now suggests that stretching before you run doesnt necessarily improve pe

formance or prevent injury. In fact, stretching before you run might even reduce your strengt

as much as 30 percent. Studies also show that stretching prior to activity can decrease your

acceleration potential and reduce your power production for squatting and jumping. Howeve

it is still recommended you stretch for 15 minutes immediately following your run.

So what should you do before you run?

Warm up!

Perform a brisk three to five minute walk to increase circulation to your working

muscles.

Follow this with a run at two to three minutes faster than your regular pace for

three quarters to one mile.

Then begin your planned run.

And after?

Cool down with five minutes of a light jog.

Then talk a walk for five minutes to return your body to its resting state.

Stretching after a run is a great way to maintain flexibility and range

of motion.

Static stretches should be held for 30 seconds and repeated three to four times. Move into ea

stretch slowly and in a controlled manner. Target major muscles groups like your hamstring,

quadriceps and hip flexors. Here are some recommended stretches to do after your run:

each month in HalthSourc w fatur an xrcis of th month.

This months xrcis focuss on marathon training.

calf Streth

Lean against a solid surface with one

foot in front of the other, both feet

facing straight forward. Bend your

front knee while keeping your back knee straight and your heel

on the ground until you feel a stretch in the back of your calf.

Modify this stretch by bending your back leg also; this will tar-

get a slightly different calf muscle.

Hamstring Streth

Sit on the ground with one leg straight in front of you.

Lean forward from the hips, trying to keep your back

straight until you feel a stretch in the back of your thigh.

Glute Streth

Lie face up on the floor with your left leg extended and

your right leg bent. Clasp your hands around your right

knee and gently pull your right knee towards your left

shoulder until you feel a stretch in your right buttocks.

Repeat using opposite leg.

Quadrieps and Hip Flexor Streth

Assume a half kneeling position. Grab around the ankle o

your back leg so that you can bend your knee. Lean you

hips forward to increase the stretch in the front of your

hips while bending your back knee to increase the stretch

in your quad.
