ORVIS - Fly Casting Lessons - Adding Distance To Your Cast 

Pete, I tell my son to think about painting the ceiling, don't let the brush ( tip of rod ) come off the ceiling. Keeps him in a straight line. Also makes him a better painter :)

I wish I knew someone who has this much fly casting knowledge, so they could come over and show me what I'm doing wrong. I have no problem getting to about 30 feet of distance. Any time I try to go any further than that, my line just ends up falling about 15 feet in front of me, in a big ol pile of tangled bird's nest.

Thanks so much for these, these are all really great tutorials I am sure for any fly fisherman, but especially for someone like me who is just beginning.

Thanks for getting to the points and telling us (and showing us) what we need to know without all the chatter of things we don't need to know. Interesting from beginning to end.

Excellent teacher!

Uff that is a beautiful thing! That line roll out!

great and clear message

He makes it look so easy but I'm practicing

Thanks Peter ,.... Great information

excellent video - very informative, thank you:)

I start people only moving the rod back and forth 10 inches holding it strait up and down...so they can see the rod work to cast way further than they can by itself

Thanks and always appreciate it. Hey buddy, how about something for the guys who fish tight streams with coverage?? Thanks I appreciate anything you have. Want to leave my spinners altogether and I get frustrated with the tight short casts of cover from end of drift to false casts and the appropriate action needed next

This dude's the best.

Great!. I really waited for such a video. Thank you.

On windy days it seems I always get tangled trying to make smaller loops

great information thank you

What is your line rated at does that matter and what’s your rod rated at

Fantastic videos. Thank you :)

I notice that you are hold some stripped line with your other hand, if you end up seeing this message, can you explain what exactly your doing there? Thank you

Also how should the feet be positioned when casting? Front leg at target and back leg forming an "L" and how far left or right of the centerline to the front foot?

*Everybody LOVES this Fly Fishing t-shirt. Will definitely have to buy one for my father. I love it.*

OMG I have such issues with the double haul. For some reason the rhythm/technique lightbulb just has not gone off for me.

So is the cast to remain at what arch position during the cast? Regardless of LH or RH if 12:00 is the top of your head to maximize a correct straight line should the rod be worked between 12:00 and 1:00 or 1:00 and 2:00?

Pete, my perception is you deviate (i.e. make the tip path a bit more horizontal) from your swing plane right after you start the back cast. Thanks for the video, though. TL

Que lindo video

Dude I’ve been fly fishing on the flats in Hawaii for three years and I still suck at casting.

I’m a noob using 7’6” 3WT on small creeks and streams. Once in a while I want to cast to that ledge on the far bank. I don’t have a lot of room for a back cast here in the vegetation of upstate New York. What’s a tip for this setup?

if you are really short and have short arms, and also I got a 6'6" fly rod at an estate sale, it's kinda old, do you have to put a lot of power in the front cast? ( I'm a newbie)

I have no clue and I see it in all of hi videos

about how much line do you want to be out

Greatest Tuts on line! I started out with a 5/6wt 9ft. We have large shell crackers, big crappie and Largemouth. Seemed like a good choice. Next will be a 4wt. 8-6ft! In literally a few days after finding the Orvis Tuts, Took 2 hours to get the double-Haul and shoot all put together, but I have a small Lake in my back yard and went from a measly 25' up to 90ft with minimal adjustments. Everyone finds their own style eventually that works without problems. Me, I can't turn my neck or body, so my casting probably looks a bit stiff but the rod and line is supple. It's all angular mechanics and lots of trial, identify and fix the errors. What I have trouble with is air resistant larger flies....Any suggestions?

how

Any body know what fly rod he is using

Do you need to have that much line out? Or can you get the same distance without pulling out that much excess line?

I'm a rookie at fly fishing. I'm not sure why but i can't figure out why every once in awhile i get hit with the fly in my back. what I'm i doing wrong?

Massive distance man

i like your videos

smith optics???:)

What rod is that

the music is nerve racking

He doesn't address why he is pulling the line with his non casting hand

reel gets bunched up and tangled when casting can anyone tell me what im doing wrong?

Fly fishing is the only way to fish rivers!!

why is getting " stuck in the grass "?? surely he doesn't have a fly on when demonstrating ?

What kind of sorcery is this? 😂 I will have to stick to my spinning rods with weighted flys

G G G G G God like...

Have you interesting😂❤ for kooperation with

27 fucking second into? CMON MANNNNN WTF
