Fly Casting DVD Simple Curve Casts :: Fly Casting Video

[jsafronofftc]

All these videos have been a great help to me learning how to cast. I just began this summer fly fishing and the results I made were great. These are excellent videos for explaining how to do basic casts. Not only that you know more than some of the guys at the local fly shop how to cast. One of them gave me a short lesson and said I was an intermediate caster just because I studied your instructions with personal notes to reinforce participation with the video and buy an new fly rod. Thank you!

@jsafronofftc Hey that's about the coolest thing I've heard for quite a while. Glad we could help - thanks for sharing!

I usually review the video after casting awhile or fishing. The first month I casted I used it over and over to get better each day. After about two months I could cast 40ft with a 10yr old fly rod with a nearly worn out reel. Just enough to get me started fishing and to control my casts. Also I live in Traverse City, where I heard there was a FFF master residing. He works at our Orvis shop. I just recently bought the rest of the video because of how useful it is and clear and do more casts.

Hi, great video, very informative. Could you please inform me what fly line you are using as it looks very controllable and supple, especially the orange with green tip? Tight lines.

Buenísimo

Stop early and hard. And if you can, immediately pull back on the rod tip.

A shorter leader will also help, and of course if your fly has any weight in it that's really going to help kick everything around as well.

For a start try practicing with a short heavy leader, 6 - 9 ft

Hello again Bumcast :)I feel I need some help with this cast. I've been trying to repeat it one whole afternoon, I didn't get a single curve!

For the overpowered curve, although I was double-hauling, however, I didn"t manage to form a curve with my line, does that mean that I should stop my rod much earlier, a bit like for the tuck cast, in addition to adding a strong haul on the front cast?

[Bumcast]

@Viktor4386 You'll need to ensure you're developing enough line speed to kick things around, and yes, stop earlier and more abruptly than you usually would. You're correct in that the overpowered curve is exactly the same as a tuck cast - it's just done in the horizontal plane rather than the vertical. Practice with a short leader!

Guys I was just about to film this cast this summer and put it on youtube! YOU HAVE SAVED MY LIFE! I have struggled horrendously with my guests trying to teach them this cast while dry fly fishing for Atlantic salmon...this one is going on my website (a popular Atlantic salmon website on google). FANTASTIC!!!!

5 Stars!!! Free and strong endorsement from me for the rest of my life!!!!!

[Bumcast]

@stevesnaps1 Pleasure Steve, it's an easy one. We'll have some more complex (but sexier) curves up later in the season.
