69 yrs around the sun, just learning & I want to do it right

@FlyFishDan Месяц назад

I’m happy to help :))

@jerryg957 Месяц назад

Try and keep fly rod tip in a straight line, that really helped me get the hang of casting, still learning ....

@FlyFishDan Месяц назад

Another great tip when you are first starting out.

@ryanward58 Месяц назад

Great vid, solid reminders. I have used some of these tips to help my nieces and nephews. Keep’’em coming!

@ryanward58 Месяц назад

And I also experienced a significant difference when I changed out my 15yr old fly line. Crazy how much that helped.

@FlyFishDan Месяц назад

Awesome! Thank you!

@FlyFishDan Месяц назад

Makes a huge difference for sure!

@alec5545 Месяц назад

thank you, that tailing loop tip was exactly what i needed to hear!

@FlyFishDan Месяц назад

Glad it helped!

Love the video new to fly fishing I'm 60yrs old and love it that you are very informative thanks

@FlyFishDan Месяц назад

Thanks for watching!

@radamus210 25 дней назад

I"ve watched so many vids - all these pros, excellent pro-tips .... You know how often they talk about how to get line out? after a dozen vids this one kind of explains it. He's also casting into the current - that's opposite of what others have said to do. It's time time to go outside I think and figure it out.

@newhampshireoutdoornetwork9505 27 дней назад

This is a really good video lots of good tips. I wish youtube was around when I learned how to fly fish

@FlyFishDan 27 дней назад

Thanks and me too!!

@grob25 Месяц назад

I knew there was a name for my fly hooking my line. Tailing loop. I am trying to cast too hard. Thank you, again.

@FlyFishDan Месяц назад

You bet! I know this video is pretty basic (for someone absolutely new to the sport), glad you found a little nugget that might help.

@ViralBFC 22 дня назад

Awsome video guys!!

@stevebooher7419 Месяц назад

Damn, I still have some fly tying material that I bought at the Morning Hatch back in the mid 80's...still in the original packaging!

thank you !

@FlyFishDan День назад

You're welcome!

@cordellkent4790 Месяц назад

Dan. Thanks. But, something I have never seen explained before is when I’m watching your reel direction, when the rod is forward the reel is in line, when your rod goes back to ‘10 oclock’ the reel points at (about) 90° to the forward stroke. Is this correct? (65 years old).

@FlyFishDan Месяц назад

I rotate my wrist somewhat on the back cast - it can be a problem if rotated too much. The camera makes it appear to be far greater than it actually is.

@joefromcocamo5863 7 дней назад

Thank you for making this video. I just have a question for anybody on here. I just started fly fishing yesterday. Am I supposed to have a nine foot leader and a one foot tippet and cast the fly rod with that? Was out trying on a lake a little while ago and am thinking that this can not be the way. Anybody knows the answer could they put that out, thank you, Joe.

@FlyFishDan 5 дней назад

Hello Joe! When you buy a 9' tapered leader, it is comprised of about 6 feet of tapered line (thick to thin) and the last 3 feet of that tapered leader has a consistent thickness (and is referred to as the tippet section of the tapered leader). The only time you need to 'add' tippet, is when the full leader has been shortened by tying on fly after fly or when cutting out a knot. Hope that makes sense.

@joefromcocamo5863 2 дня назад

@@FlyFishDan Hey, thanks for replying, been flyfishing for about 4 days so far, I like it, not catching any fish but checking out some really cool rivers and creeks in New York State. Thanks again for replying.

@boazhoucher4771 18 дней назад

What sling pack do you have?

@FlyFishDan 18 дней назад

I have the Simms sling pack - larger size

@johnathanoneal6463 Месяц назад

What causes my leader to always smack my fly line soon as it hits the ground? Sometimes it happens sometimes it doesn’t.

@FlyFishDan Месяц назад

If it smacks it on the final cast (just before the presentation) then it's a tailing loop caused by using too much force in the cast. If it is stacking up in front of you, look back at your back cast and be sure it fully extends behind you before bringing it forward so the line rolls out nice on the final cast

@snakeoiler2921 Месяц назад

What rod would you recommend to a beginner

@FlyFishDan Месяц назад

I would recommend a 5 weight, 9' long 4-pc for a starter fly rod for trout. Echo makes a great entry level rod, so does Redington. The Sage Foundation is also a rock-solid choice.

@3runjosh Месяц назад

the videos you point to at the end don't show up. great video though

@FlyFishDan Месяц назад

Thanks! Got that fixed!

@NSFishingLife 11 дней назад

You MUST bend your wrist while casting

@NSFishingLife 11 дней назад

If someone tells you not to bend your wrist when (when, not if) you practice, nod your head, thank them for their sage advice, and promptly ignore them. Strangely, the worst place to learn how to cast a fly rod is on moving water, especially when just beginning.

@bike4fish241 Месяц назад

oh dan, your so cute waving your fish pole. but maybe leave the instruction to certified instructors..... you missed on the number one most important aspect (in my unhumble opinion) which is accelerating to an abrupt stop. after watching you make many casts, i think you could aid your personal casting a lot by focusing on the stopping of the rod, the most essential part of a good fly cast. lefty kher and tim rajeff videos should go to the top of your suggested list.

@FlyFishDan Месяц назад

Nah. I’m doin just fine thanks. Taught many people how to get er done. All good, be kind and FISH-ON!!
