Fly Casting DVD Video ROLL CAST / Switch Cast Excerpt from 'Casts that Catch Fish'

[cleansingfire100]

omg that place looks amazing!!

[jpanicz]

Greetings Carl,

Could you please clarify the roll vs switch cast? From this fragment of your DVD I'd say the casts you perform on the river are switch casts and what you practice on grass is roll casting as I see it. For me the difference between the two is the size of D-loop, the amount of line stick and pace. Simply, switch is bigger D-loop, little line stick and air-born forward cast. Roll is a lot of line stick, small D-loop and water-born forward. Will appreciate your comment.

What is the Name/ Maker of the black and red line that was shown briefly?

[Leeland450]

I've definitly been over powering/rushing my roll casts, I think these tips are going to save me from wind knots and lost flies. Thanks from Colordao

What weight is that rod?

[webvision85]

thank you:)

[Bumcast]

@webvision85 You are very welcome :)

[bogaugon]

Great teaching video, beautifully filmed. Clear and precise, great work

[nickolofogas22]

i watched your video then went fishing at thames river and cought my first fish while fly fishing.........abullhead"

[Bumcast]

@nickolofogas22 Congratulations! Nice Job!

[tim3854]

Not sure I'm happy to hear you were using a Vantage, as since I use one I won't be able to blame the rod anymore for my roll casting inadequacies! haha. I also use an SA line too, what a coincidence.

[bwianbiccus]

ya know, i have tryed for weeks on this cast and i can't do it... :) but i like the vid.

[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

[GhostWhisper7]

That place is beautiful

[twotellys12]

this will probably only work if you stood in water, if your stood on a pier then theres a good changes you`ll snag you fly in the grass. Amazing footage and casting though. 5 star

[Bumcast]

@twotellys12 Casting from an elevated position actually makes it a lot easier, a pier is a great place to practice.

[ghettoflyfishing]

@twotells12

definitely works well from an elevated position. Easy to get a nice D-loop and load the rod, and watch how it all gets organized.

[buiubr1]

Beautiful video.

What equipment are you using? And numbering supplier

rod and line.

[Bumcast]

@buiubr1 Thank you. Sage Vantage #6 Scientific Anglers Expert Distance line

[22triggy]

Very good presentation, not over done, beautiful filming. Thank you.

[skaterdude1213]

the 2 ppl who dislike cant do it

[Bumcast]

@skaterdude1213 Ha - probably

[fly888ricky]

i am buy this dvd..learn more about fly casting ( become joint FFF ), very power full..! top :)

[wheetley97]

I'm 14 and just getting into it. Being the only one in my family that does it I need to teach myself. This helped a lot! Thanks keep em comin!

[NiNj4k0S]

Great stuff once again... Thank you for sharing!

[wcodyw1990]

Nice Video!! Very good filming! Would you be able to recommend a rod, reel, and line that would be good for a beginner fly fisherman without spending too much money, but also casts easy without much effort?

Thanks in advance and keep up the great videos!

[Bumcast]

@wcodyw1990 Thanks. Personally I think you couldn't go past a Sage "Vantage" package. Rod, reel and line with a lifetime guarantee on the rod - you can't miss. It's a Sage Vantage I use in that clip (painted white)

[wcodyw1990]

@Bumcast Thanks for the quick reply! What rod length, and weight would you also recommend? I'd be fishing mostly in rivers and streams for trout, but sometimes in lakes for bass. Thanks again

[Bumcast]

@wcodyw1990 I'd go for a 9ft rod in a 6 weight. But check with your local sports store - I'm not sure how big your bass are

[fly888ricky]

very nice cast :)

[Bumcast]

@fly888ricky Thank You

[gmstuart1]

Carl...would you rather see a CCI candidate you are testing roll cast in one fluid motion or see them set the anchor on grass and then make the forward cast? Also, in slow motion it almost looks like a slight back cast after you pull the line back....is that to make your D loop larger or is that the trick to the tighter loops? It seems like the move back at the last second really sets up your nice forward cast....I feel like I can stop the rod high and still get larger loops on this cast....g

[Bumcast]

@gmstuart1 For the CI the requirement os for a 'static roll cast' i.e a roll cast in two parts with a clearly defined pause in between.

I do reach back a little further just prior to throwing the forward cast - it's not entirely intentional :) But yes, I suppose it does help tension things up and increase the stroke lenght a little

[StcroixNick]

Whats is the line number and the rod action sir ?

[Bumcast]

@StcroixNick A #6 line and medium action Sage Vantage rod

[StcroixNick]

@Bumcast Ok thanks, Does the action of the rod is having an influence on roll casting ability, I'm having problem with a fast Action, I'm doing D-loop easily, but with roll casting thecniques it's kinda difficult.

[Bumcast]

@StcroixNick All things being equal a softer mid action rod will be a little easier. The trick is to make sure your D-Loop is large enough to lift the line. And it must loop and hang down behind your shoulder. The further out in front of you the D-Loop is, the more difficult the Roll cast is to execute

[StcroixNick]

@Bumcast Thanks, I'm buying Myself a switch rod for the next season, so that's why I'm trying to master some single spey casting thecniques

[StcroixNick]

What is the lenght of the rod ?, I'm having a 9'6'' and I can't do a great roll cast with it. But your video will surely helps me ;)

[troublechild161]

Excellent casting ability. The loops are so tight.  And you roll cast as far as I cast with a double haul. Are you a pro? If so, how long have you been fly fishing?

[stevesnaps1]

Great video,thanks.

[pafkatoja]

pls post it on vimeo :)

[riverrat291]

very informative thank you very much

[geekslayerinc]

Thank you



[Bumcast]

@geekslayerinc My pleasure sir!

[geekslayerinc]

@geekslayerinc I have the video. I enjoyed your explanations and demonstrations. Makes total sense to me, and very practical.

Very nicely put together. Hoping maybe you and your crew will put together video on single-handed spey casting techniques. :)

[FrankB1191]

Excellent in all respects! Which rod is that you are using....Just Curious.

[Bumcast]

@FrankB1191 Thanks! - it's a Sage Vantage

[ClarkReid]
