Some roll cast training exercises as well as three stops: abrupt/ pull-back/ Stopless. Actual teaching of the Roll Cast can be found here www.sexyloops.... and here is some more on pull-back www.sexyloops....
This and your lay down drill video are what I review and practice every few months. You have an easy manner about you that makes sense. You suggest more than once to play with the cast find out for oneself. Great teaching.
Great visual on the technique. Would love to see one on how to effectively roll cast a nymph/indicator rig. Seems to really change the dynamic of the cast...
That’s a good call Charlie. I’ll make a note of that. It can be very difficult, especially with a long leader, or heavy nymphs and a lightish flyline. Tackle is definitely a consideration, as is making sure that the nymphs are close to the surface at the start of the cast. I will definitely put something together. 👍
I like the analogy of the snapped towel. Once our rivers thaw (in about six weeks here in eastern Canada) I'll have to give it a shot! I also like hearing about proofreading your wife's MBA thesis and other "flakes of your life", as our Leonard Cohen described them. It illustrates the complete life in paradise that you live. Thanks for all you have done and continue to do to improve my casting!
Haha - the MBA has been interesting! I feel like I’m an expert now 😆 and have done the course myself! Soon it will all be over and I can terrorise the fish properly again! That 3 stops stuff really I see as a gateway into my lessons. What I’ve covered in that video makes up most of my second “intermediates” lesson, with the addition of the stopless backcast delivery.
And by the way I question your commitment Stephen 😝 I have a student from Canada tomorrow who will be casting in the snow. The only reason we didn’t cast on Friday was because of a snowstorm and he wasn’t sure I would see the loops 😆
@@stephenrosenfeld833 haha I’m with you mate. If I lived in Canada I would hibernate for 6 months of the year!! I went back to Europe for Xmas and my feet were frozen for a month!
@@SexyloopsTV Well, winter is for cross-country skiing - and tying flies. We only get a six month fishing season here for Atlantic salmon, trout, and striped bass and now that I'm retired, I try to make the most of it. But no kidding, my casting improves in the winter by osmosis, just by watching your videos and playing them over in my mind! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Interesting video, as always. I'm currently practicing to learn and improve my roll cast (with some help from Nick Moore). What would the advantage of the stopless roll cast be; accuracy perhaps?
Hi Paul, the primary advantage is higher line speed. Instead of truncating the stroke while trying to fit speed in, we just accelerate to the water. If the loop opens it’s because we started with the rod too far back (for low trajectory casts it should start around the vertical position). Anyway, primary use is for casting into a head wind. But we also can use it in the overhead cast, both directions. Here it is for dealing with winds as well as casting ugly/heavy flies/sinktip lines.
Hi Everett, I’m use the Sexyloops Instructor rod for teaching www.sexyloops.com/index.php/webshop/item/558/ht-instructor-9ft-7wt and usually either the SA Mastery Expert Distance line in 5 or 6WT.
