Thanks for this. Was out my 2nd day flyfishing today and I need a lot of work on my casts. This video is extremely helpful in seeing why, especially the part with Katie I managed to catch two tiny brown trouts though. Addicted already

@jamesshaeffer-nv4kq 11 дней назад

I learned from Joe Humphries years ago. Elbow close to body and use a 10 to 2 motion like hammering a nail in the wall with a slight snap of the thumb to accelerate forward.

@tatswritingco.5136 5 дней назад

Great stuff here! I find that most casting is done by right-handers with their casting hands downstream. As a south-paw, I find much of the river access forces me to do some backhand casts. I would appreciate a video on how to cast when the rod is in the upstream hand.

@jeffreystone7327 7 дней назад

For a beginner, if practicing in your yard? What is a good time schedule to start with and should you practice more than once a day? Last question related to casting practice. Is it ok to use a fly that has the point of the hook that has been cut off? So far this Masterclass series is incredible. Thank you all and God bless.

@ariellevin3008 9 месяцев назад

I loved this video, but there are a few more simple things I always add when teaching casting. 1. The fly line always follows the tip of the rod. Yes, this has to do with direction. if you your tip stops high in the cast the line will travel high, conversely, a dropped rod tip, especially on the back cast, caused the line to often drop into the water behind you. 2. One of the most effective cast I teach in my beginning casting class is The Belgium cast. I teach this at the end of the class. Why? because the student will not always have me with them and it is a good 'go to cast' to have in your arsenal. I use this cast on very windy days or when tossing a dual fly setup. It helps to keep the flies from tangling on the back cast. This is an Oval loop cast. 3. For me this last point is very important to depart on new casters and one of the first things I instill, other than my mantra which I say over and over. Casting Arc: Short line, short (narrow)casting arch....long line, wider casting arc. Why is this so important? Because if you have too much line out of the tip of the rod and you use a short casting arc, which is a faster casting stroke, you will inevitably get tangles. (it is one of the main reasons for Tailing Loops.) This is part of the timing you spoke about. And lastly, before I step off the my soap box...my Mantra I pass on to all students. ALWAYS LOOK BEHIND YOU BEFORE YOU START CASTING. Survey your surroundings and understand what lays behind.

@EduardoGonzalez-gg9pe 9 месяцев назад

the person who taught me how to cast told me to pretend I'm using a Chuckit and throwing the ball for my dog, at that point it made more sense to me and casting got easier.

@venturesflyco 9 месяцев назад

For sure! Great way to think about it.

@radamus210 Месяц назад

Wow, that made a point to me. Those things are NOT instantly intuitive to throw the ball. I've hit the house, the pool, the ground and almost her in the beginning. You don't know until you know!

great advice,, also false casting will causes thin tippet to dry fly or even nymph tandem rigs to tangle into a mess especially 6x and 7x dries,, it's something all will have to experience but experience is knowledge too lol

@ellynmfx4431 2 месяца назад

Awesome video, thank you! I'm confused about what you do right before you cast. How much line do you pull out the end of the rod before picking it up to cast?

@venturesflyco 2 месяца назад

Great question. A good starting point is probably a rod length (~10ft). Then you can start to pull out line with your non casting hand as needed.

@cammer68oliver2 2 месяца назад

Some really good pointers. Coming from somebody who’s pretty well seasoned in flyfishing. Just watched it for the fun of it. But really good pointers. The thing that taught me about when to move the rod forward at the tail end of my back cast was feeling the line tug the rod tip backwards behind me. That way I didn’t have to watch the line, forward and backwards, only forward. But otherwise, really good points.

@venturesflyco 2 месяца назад

That's a wonderful point, and thanks for watching!! When I started, I had to watch both the front and back casts so I knew what it felt like when it was time to move to the next casting stroke, and I've found that helps a lot of other beginners, too. But being able to feel the tug of the line, like you mentioned, is EXACTLY what we're going for! Thanks again for sharing! -- Spencer

@zandermercury1758 9 месяцев назад

so I've been practicing the fly casting at the field.. and my arm and shoulder are screaming after 30min... is that normal or is my form is wrong while doing the stroke?

@timothytapio4252 5 месяцев назад

I haven't gotten all the way through but have to ask question before I forget (old age is like that)...excess line (probably not really excess, line that isn't out or you're bring in the fish without using reel...hold it loosely in your reeling hand? Or dop it? I've seen some of both...

@venturesflyco 5 месяцев назад

Depends on how intense the fight is/size of fish and how much line we are dealing with. Most of the time I will just drop it (but the key is making sure you still have tension on the line by keeping it tucked under that finger against the grip).

@timothytapio4252 5 месяцев назад

@@venturesflyco My index finger has issues so I'm going to train myself doing two fingers...plus I'm so used to a spinning rod, it takes major conscious effort to keep a finger on the line. I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for producing them.

@michaelross5674 3 месяца назад

One question does it matter on what rod to get????? Was going to grab the martin flyrod combo in a 5/6 wt will that be good ....??? Just don't want to drop a ton of money and not like or want to use it lol..... I'm a bass/saltwater guy now I use bait casters and spinning gear just want to try fly.... Plus there is a spot here in Delaware I like but it's fly rod only

@venturesflyco 3 месяца назад

You want to get a decent rod for your first fly rod. It'll make learning to cast a lot easier, and you'll have a rod that can do a lot of different things. Our Fly Flinger rod will do trout, plus some bass fishing. It's a solid option if you're serious about trying fly fishing. A good beginner rod will make the experience better, so you can get a better feel for whether you like it or not. venturesflyco.com/collections/rods/products/the-fly-flinger-rod

@jacobbrooks8476 9 месяцев назад

I’m not understanding how having my finger on the line with help me cast more line. I don’t understand how to get further on my cast.

@venturesflyco 9 месяцев назад

Great point. We say keep the fly line tucked under your finger to emphasize the point that you don’t want slack line while casting. As you get the casting motion down, you’ll hold the line in your opposite hand and let a bit of line out with each false cast. But as soon as that line lands on the water, you’ll want to put the line back under your finger in case a fish decides to bite. Long story short, slack line is bad for casting and during the drift. Make more sense?

@Alex.Austin._ 4 месяца назад

I don’t think you’re supposed to hold your fly line in your rod hand as you cast. I could be wrong but I don’t think I am. More friction = less distance has always been my teaching.

@venturesflyco 4 месяца назад

Yup good call. We needed to clarify that a bit more in the video. The fundamental should be you need to have a point of contact with the fly line while casting (i.e. having it tucked up under your finger, holding it in your non casting hand) during the casting stroke. This gives the line tension, allowing the rod to load. If you just let the slack line dangle, it would just flop around and you wouldn’t be able to cast. When you need more line out, you can pull it out and let it slide through your finger/hand gradually.
