Definitely slow down your stroke, as the other poster said. Try to put your anchor a rod's length away and make your forward cast right before the line/leader junction leaves the water. An upward sweep right before the foreward cast can help aerialize your D loop. Also, make sure you're fishing that swing. Stepping and stripping while swinging is not allowing your fly to actually swing and move naturally. Try stepping and stripping after you've let your fly dangle downstream for a bit.
@cinamonpil Thanks for the useful advice much appreciated. However I am not throwing a skagit line rather a delta airflo spey line with interchangeable tips. But thanks again
Slow your cast down a little, you are not loading your rod completely. Let the rod do the work not your arms. I'm assuming you are throwing a skagit line.
@jbishop22080 Thanks for the good advice I will use it! I always let my fly swing but for the purposes of the video I was speeding it up.
