[kypeboy]

[Bumcast]

@kypeboy The Rod is a Sage Vantage, the reel (from memory) is a Danielsson FW

[Bumcast]

@Bumcast ;)

[monrizo123]

I had no idea Paul McCartney could cast so well...

[Bumcast]

@monrizo123 If only I could play that well..

[chevisin]

[hsrana]

Thanks and Regards

Harsh

[Bumcast]

@hsrana Hey thanks Harsh!

[Konsti3301]

Amazing video ! Tis video inspired to start fly fishing, thank you very much !

[UltimateSurvivalMan]

I love this video! This video was the video who inspired me to start fly fishing, thank you very much!

[reddog124674]

How come your roll casts the line is up off the water And not just rolling across the surface of the water? Is it just how you prefer to do it or what? I'm trying to learn it and different videos and articles confuse me

[Bumcast]

@reddog124674 Well, that exactly what a roll cast should do - lift the line up of the water and lay it out in front of you.

A roll cast, performed and taught correctly should indeed lift the line.

[Gaz9977]

WOW....any chance of you coming to South Wales to give me some tips ;)......credit to you AND the camera man for the vid..Amazing fair play,i feel well crap now tho,cheers :D

[Bumcast]

@Gaz9977 Highly unlikely I'm afraid!

[Gaz9977]

@Bumcast ...C'mon ill pay for you day ticket,and ill even let you use my spare rod haha!.....watched your vids yesterday,i will def be taking the tips with me to the river,cheers pal

[Bumcast]

@Gaz9977 Pay for my airfare and I'll be there mate. Glad you like our stuff - cheers!

[Bumcast]

@charbcbc Glad you liked it - those casts are pretty straightforward to learn - get the DVD! ; )

[jorgepesca1]

muy fera la video!!!!!!!

[rbflyfishing]

I can watch this video again and again ...

It´s excellent

[yareelohim77]

What type of fishing is the SA Expt Distance best used for? I am currently usuing a WFF with a 38' head. I find it  a bit hard to shoot and gain good distance with.

Would the SA EX Distance be a good line for longer casts and control? I fish smaller streams to large rivers for trout and occasional steelhead.

Would the SA Mastery be a better choice? Also, would you recommend DT or WF?

- Thank you!

[jogelinho]

Great movies but I recognize that you show all the casts with like 30 ft of line out. How do you actually do when fishing, when you fish the whole cast out and have to start the new cast with only like 10 ft fly line out? Thats my big problem right now, I havent got enough weight outside the rod. Tips?

[jakej21120]

@jogelinho remember that the difference between conventional fishing and fly fishing is that in fly fishing you are casting the weight of the line and not the weight of a lure or weighted bait.... i would suggested a little bit heavier line

[skyhigh69896]

@jogelinho use WF weight forward fly line, its designed for the weight to be proportioned at the front= more weight with less line

[BTNHarmony18]

Is that an Allen fly reel?

[Bumcast]

@BTNHarmony18 No, Waterworks ULA

[smrtkscm]

He is magician. Superb video!

[1234Hulabula]

Bumcast!

What line do you use, from backing, to the fly? Name, weight, meters and so on... It looks special

[Bumcast]

@1234Hulabula For a long time I used an SA Hi-Viz distance line, we're now offering a low cost Hi-Viz DT line in our store. The Specs are all listed

[Bumcast]

[Viktor4386]

Hi,

There's something I don't get : why is the "wiggle cast" considered as a cast rather than as a mend ? As in the "wiggle cast" we reposition the line after the rod stops, shouldn't we call it the "wiggle mend"? (Just like the reach mend instead of the reach cast) Thank you in advance for your explanation !

[Bumcast]

@Viktor4386 You make a very good point! - and I suppose it could be termed as both. Many do begin those wiggles before the rod effectively stops - some after. To make a really effective 'wiggle cast/mend' is all tends to happen simultaneously without clear distinction. But that's just me, others may have differing opinions. Interested to hear them.

Cheers!

[Viktor4386]

@Bumcast Thanks for the reply :). That's right, I saw you didn't do a clear distinction between the stop and the wiggle in the film. It was kind of smooth. But whatmade me think it is actually a mend, is that on the step by step explanation it says "Stop the rod" and then "Wiggle". However, I feel that the name isn't as important as the fact, that the wiggle is a great presentation cast, and what's more, it is easy to execute, unlike the curves, which I still can't perform!

Cheers from France!

[Dylan1994Hunter]

I have caught a lot of browns and never found a mouse in any fish. But it's Canada not New Zealand

[Dylan1994Hunter]

Still I have caught a lot of browns and never seen a mouse in any fish I have caught. But its Canada not New Zealand.

[Bumcast]

Hey thanks. When they get going those brownies certainly munch a lot of mice!

[Dylan1994Hunter]

I watched your once in a blue moon vid, witch is put together perfectly, I could not get over the casting they just kept on going and going, the other thing that amazed me was how many mice that brown had in it. That just makes me wanna go there.

[Dylan1994Hunter]

@Bumcast Wow I need that line now. I have some like it but it is sinking line. Well I know what I am buying next.

[Bumcast]

@SaskFlyFisher the Line is a Scientific Anglers Expert Distance / Instructors line

[Viktor4386]

@Bumcast I feel i need your help again, would you recommend this Scientific Anglers Distance Fly line for fishing trouts and bass? What is your opinion about the Scientific Anglers flylines, especially the Mastery series?

Thank you for your Answer!

[Bumcast]

@Viktor4386 No I wouldn't recommend the Expert Distance for trout or sass, I'd recommend a trout or bass line...

S.A make some specific lines for throwing large bass bugs, and delicate tapers for spring creeks and trout - The Mastery series is excellent

[Viktor4386]

@Bumcast Thank you for the quick reply! Then I'll go for the SA Mastery trout and bass line, I must admit this sounds more logical :).Then what do you use the SA Distance for? Just for for flycasting courses? Or maybe to get distance easily? I was thinking about the distance line, because my favourite trout river is quite large, something around 50-60 meters. It often is a windy place, so I thought it'd help getting distance in such conditions, besides improving my casting technique...

[Polky]

Filming is awesome! Really good casting and editing as well! 

[Bumcast]

@Polky Cheers -glad you liked it

[matttheswede]

Can i ask what type of action you have got on that rod?

Or what rod it is even?

[Bumcast]

@matttheswede Of course! - the Rod is a Sage Vantage - Medium/fast action

[matttheswede]

@Bumcast Thank you! it looks like magic in the hands of a pro caster like yourself. brilliant watching. 

[Viktor4386]

Great video, great DVD and Great Casts!

What is the name of the cast in 0:49 ?

[Bumcast]

@Viktor4386 I'd call it an aerial Snap - T, It's the same set of moves. In this case you don't let the full line settle after the snap (then on to form a D-Loop) You simply move the rod back in concert with the line to form the D-Loop without pausing. You really miss out a step by making the move continuous from snap to D-loop then out again.

[Viktor4386]

@Bumcast Thank you!

I'd like to add that your DVD really helps learning flycasting!

Are you planning to film a second volume of it?

[Bumcast]

@Viktor4386 Great to hear, yes, we're planning more. We should get another underway in a couple of months.

[Viktor4386]

@Bumcast Then I guarantee that I'll buy the second part the day of it's release :)

[Bumcast]

@Viktor4386 Gr8!

[bassfishing247]

this is a cool short clip!!! i dont know much about fly fishing, but i know the line hes using looks cool, and he makes this look simple.

[Bumcast]

@bassfishing247 :)

[MVandehey]

Just finally got the dvd. Watched it immediately. Loved it! Great stuff Bumcast!

[mrendgame970]

Truly a science but seems so much more natural than spincasting seems to give the proper presentation and natural bait the trout seem to desire instinctly .Ive have little to know experience fly fishing but my son has many hours. I think i mgoing to add it to my fishing resume. thank you Bennett Springs Mo is our favorite.

[BRONZEBACKMASTER]

Love the DVD It will help a lot when practicing for my CCI . What kind of leader material is that it looks awesome on film.

[spacemanspiff2012]

I'm an expert on the pile cast. - - - The line ends up in a big pile. :o

You make it look easy.

[Bumcast]

@spacemanspiff2012 :

;) perfect then, exactly what you want... (it's actually a pretty simple cast)

[wallb9ng]

please tell me, where i can get this nice line which you are using. i really like the color and it seems to be a very good one.

thank you, jan

[Bumcast]

@wallb9ng The line is a Scientific Anglers Expert Distance (Orange) you should be able to order it via your local tackle store

[Bumcast]

Pleasure! - glad you enjoyed it

[fijaker1]

Excellent stuff! Thanks Carl

[mrsunny811]

Awesome DVD! Why do you wrap your rod with white tape? - more visible for camera??

[Bumcast]

@mrsunny811 Yes!

[FlyFishingUK]

Wow! Now there are some GREAT shots! Excellent stuff!!

Tim

[ydna1024]

@bumcast awesome and inspiring filming and casting. I ordered the DVD about a week ago, hope it will turn up soon :) *can't wait*

Great idea about the plumbing tape, not as sexy as i thought but it fooled me :)

[Bumcast]

@ydna1024 Many thanks! - Your DVD shouldn't be far away at all then

Cheers

Carl

[browntrout54]

Carl, I've been thinking about painting a rod white. Did you do that one yourself and if so, what sort of paint did you use?

[Bumcast]

@browntrout54 It's actually just wrapped with white plumbers thread tape! it comes off again relatively easily

[browntrout54]

@Bumcast Excellent! Even I can do that. Thanks, I'll give it a try on a cheapo rod.

[paddlefreaks]

Hi, your video offer numerous suggestions me.

Thank you.

[santasa99]

Beautiful video, and river is perfect. What is the name of this river anyway (I assume its in NZ) ?

Thanks Carl and cheers from Sarajevo

Santa

[brillantegenio]

Hi Carl. I have downloaded this at iTunes ;) I just can't stop watching it!! What is the name of the song?

[Bumcast]

@brillantegenio Cool! - Funnily enough, the tune is called 'Give it a Go'

It's a piece of commercial production music that we licensed for the DVD

[browntrout54]

A nice concise clip Carl. I liked the use of the fluorescent polyleader for illustration purposes.

Do you use polyleaders in your day to day fishing? just curious.

[Bumcast]

@browntrout54 Thanks. I'll occasionally use a poly leader if I need a sink tip or perhaps if it's very windy and I need to turn over a big fly - but not often

[browntrout54]

@Bumcast thanks Carl. Pretty much the same as me. i tend just to use the polyleaders for salmon fishing with the double handed rod. For trout it is all standard factory tapered leaders.

I do like your idea of the visible poly leader for demonstration/teaching purposes. I think i'll give that a try too.

[hrvojemarkovic]

dream work.... Greetings from Croatia / gacka river

[Bumcast]

@hrvojemarkovic Thank you - how are things in Croatia today!?

[geekslayerinc]

I just keep watching this... Great casting. Kudos to the camera person as well.

Bumcast you ever see A River Runs Through It.? There was an actor in it that ran

through the water doing a cast (the sheer joy) and his technique was way different

than that of his father. That's what your teaser reminds me of...a revolution. :) The Jeet Kwon Do of fly casting. I'm really enjoying watching this and your other post from the same DVD. Thanks again.

[Bumcast]

@geekslayerinc Thanks for the compliment! - Jeet Kwan Do, now that's a big deal. Bruce was THE man

[thezlatan345]

where are you living????
