Fly fishing is a lot more than set out some bait or lure. It is about landing a fly on the water and make it float with the water as natural as possible. These videos are there to help people on the casting. It may seem that way, but the assumption you make is not correct. At least not for the fisherman, but it may for the casterman.
Look for surfcasting championship ... :-).. You'll find other inspired people..
@djwave28 unless you use full sinking line.... or a sink tip. casting is like 10% of fishin with a fly rod. presentation and lure selection is where its at. you can get nice and crispy with your casting technique and not catch a damn thing. all i know is, once you get good and comfortable with your fly rod you'll never show up to a river or pond with a coffee can full of worms ever again. fly fishin is an awesome sport! you'll get hooked..........
@djwave28 There is absolutely no reason for Half of the casts in fly fishing except to show off. I bait fish AND fly fish, crazy huh? I respect both. Fly fishing is much more of an ART, but the problem with ART is that you always get a group of people who think that their art is better than yours. The true ART of fly fishing is catching the fish.
@ruel68ify totally not true . the casting is fishing you have to be 10 times as skilled to catch fish. You cant just flip a bail and cast out a cricket and catch 100 brim in a day. You have to practice for hours at getting the fly to look natural and then you still might not catch a fish. It takes a true fisher to even try to flyfish
I do a little spey instruction and I'd call it underhand. But it is close to the classic switch spey cast. Just a note, they all look good when you're not standing in 3.5' of moving river.
The instructor showed nice, tight loops, but this is easy when the running line is anchored. Line speed was low, however, and I doubt that a real cast would have gone very far.
It is an underhand cast. The cast's 'father', G.Andersson, called the cast 'underhand' to emphasise the role of the left hand (for RH casters)to differentiate the cast from old-school spey-casting. Spey cast technique was originally for cane rods with a deep, buttish action where the upper hand provided power. The modification came about to adapt casting for modern, faster rods. A shorter, shooting style head was also prefered.
Looks like a ordinary spey cast to me,basically underhand casting specifies that the underhand, the left hand in this case, contributes to about 70% of the effort required to make the cast, the casting is faultless however.

it looks like fly fishing is more on casting style than fishing, is it?
ruel68ify 2 years ago
no but too many concentrate what the fly is doing in the air versus what it is doing in the water where the fish is

Hi .,. thanks .. Yes I agree, fishing is about catching fish. Simply said it is about presenting the bait to the fish and not to the birds .. :-)

This is nice.
Guys, Skagit casting is no better than fishing with a baitcaster. Furthermore, Henrik could kick Ed's ass in a fight. So there.

Try and look that good with a heavily weighted fly and a 12ft. leader and you you'll look as coordinated as charlie brown.

Idiot - that's almost exactly what underhand is designed to do.

Its clearly an underhand cast. His top hand is acting merely as a pivot point and his bottom hand is accelerating the rod.
In a classical spey cast, the top hand extends out from the body and the bottom hand pulls upward and ends up in line with the extended top arm.

Then what is? The line travels UNDER the hand in the BC, hence an underhand cast!
