Lefty Kreh on The Double Haul Fly Cast | Fly Fishing | Hooked Up Channel 

Rod/reel combo with fishing kit as an emergency setup ru-vid.comUgkxntWMOZsO1Zfv-pdn_XuffEtNkTYAYu4Z recommend but started to use this every day. The rod is thick and seems durable. I keep it neatly tucked into a regular backpack all the time with my fishing gear, and can grab it anytime, put it on my back and go anywhere. I just read in another review that the rod length below the reel is adjustable as well, so I will try that too for even more portability. Probably the best setup I've ever owned. I lost the cap for the eyelets, but no big deal since I still have the black cloth sheath that came for the pole and I use that. Very portable and high quality.

*I already own the Battle II combo **enjoyable.fishing** recommend and decided to try a Fierce II combo to carry out to the pier. Works great and for the money they are hard to beat.*

Lefty Kreh is to fly casting what Moe Norman is to the golf swing. Brilliant and we all can learn from him. :) Very cool.

The great master doing what all great masters do. Teaching, sharing, and enjoying giving helpful information to help keep their passion alive through others! BRAVO Lefty, BRAVO !!! RIP SIR.

Rip lefty thank you for all the great fishing moments you gave us

For those who complained there were no instructions. For a righty. Point your rod at the water (grass). Grab the line with your left hand close to the reel. Not the part coming off of the reel but the line where you'd pull to move the fly. A split second before you bring your rod back move your left hand towards your left pants pocket. Anywhere between two inches and 18 will do, depending on the slack in your casted line. This action removes slack in the line so that when you move your rod tip to backcast, the fly moves. If, for every inch you move your rod tip the fly moves, then no energy is lost removing the slack with the sweep of your rod an all energy goes into the backcast which loads your rod. This is desireable. Before your "haul" is completed start your backcast. When you start to feel a slight tug on the line in your left hand let that hand drift back towards your reel. This is a timing thing and will require experience. Go to early or late and you will ruin the momentum of your backcast . Same will happen if you go to quickly or slowly. Best I can say is that you want to match the backward momentum of the backcast loop of your fly line. The drift immediately follows the haul but not rushed; it is graceful. Do NOT wait until the backcast has unfurled. When your drift is completed hold that position and wait for the line to finish unfurling/straightening behind you. When to begin the forward cast is another timing issue. I can't tell you how others do it but I can feel the rod load, meaning, I've thrown a good backcast loop that's had enough momentum to A) straighten my line behind me, and B) still have enough momentum to load my rod some for the forward cast. I suspect other casters just have a feeling for the timing. Important: Before your extended backcast dips even one inch (optimally, maybe not realistically) begin your second haul to about the middle of your chest. This action will, once again, remove any slack in your backcast. It might not remove it all but any removal is better than none. Immediately after you begin that second haul begin your forward cast. If you've done everything correctly you should have a narrow loop shooting forward with lots of momentum and the strength to bore into the wind. When to let go with your left hand is another timing issue. While that freight train loop is boring forward, early, don't wait until you can see it, let the line go and watch all of the slack at your feet shoot through the guides. If you let go too early your forward cast will not have much momentum. If you release too late your cast will lose momentum and fall in a tangle some tens of yards in front of you. The balance and shape of your fly line will have an impact upon the timing as well. So, Lefty cannot tell you how to do this exactly. The feedback you get from the behavior of your loops, their momentum, and the resultant distance of your cast will tell you all you need to know beyond this explanation. Think economy of movement and graceful motion and you are on your way. I dedicate this to Lefty Kreh. He would have written this himself if he knew just one person was confused.

Great instructor!!!!!!! Great key points!!!!!!!!!!

This guy is an expert coach. I'm buying this guys rod today. TFO BVK.

2024 and Lefty is still the man!!!!! RIP ❤ and because of Lefty, I own TFO rods!!!!

Lefty at his finest 😂

Whatch and learn. End of. This is a double haul not using two hands lure fishing. Top video. I have taught this for years.

Great Job!! Nice class!!

Just received my first "Lefty" book!!!

GOAT, period.

Grande Lefty!!! Un nanoide che lancia di cacca e fa' un sacco di soldi!!!!

I’m sorry to hear that Lefty is gone.

If you don't understand what Lefty is on about here...then come back in 3 years. Seen this guy live casting consisting over 80 feet. The half-rod teaching tip is something I use when instructing new swoffers.

The ultimate instruction.

That was one of the early Tie fests if I'm not mistaken

dam!......YOUR GOOD!!!

Gold!

Show professor 🙏🇧🇷🏆🥇🤠🥳👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🥳

*I wasn't sure what to expect with these rods **allabout.wiki/d6jl** I took one out for a spin on Sunday, and was casting 35-45 feet across open water. The first fish I hooked into had just breached a second or two before, and the rod had the accuracy to drop the fly right where the fish was. I've not yet fished with a really expensive fly rod, but this rod feels nice, it's well balanced, and it casts way better than the starter kits I've used in the past.*

Genius

There is a sport actually, it's called darts :)

this guys hilarious

Captain Abbie Belize

4:43 Billiards

is it possible more than 25 meters cast by this style??

That’s my great uncle

this old bastard is hilarious!

"I don't think I'll hit him"

if you are teaching, just teach the right way, no point telling thousand of don;t. is fast and simple. funny is that most fly casting teach you all the don't.

Actually, you do increase line speed by further bending the rod; that’s the whole purpose!. Sorry, Lefty.

YOU TALK YOO MUCH FOR ADVERTISING ,

Did anyone learn anything from this? lol. I didnt.

He never shows how to double haul. dont waste your time watching if you really want to learn
