  • Can the techniques shown in this video be used with a two-handed fly rod the same as on a single-handed rod, or are different skills required?

  • Unfortunately the techniques are different. A true two-handed rod is designed to actually spey cast or skagit cast with and not ideally suited for overhand casting. Hope that helps.

  • Great tips

  • @UnitedPonys this isnt tightlines. the false cast is used to get momentum in your cast to cast far enough to where you want or u can do it to target exactly where you want to land your fly

  • thanks great tips 

  • What are you doing with your left hand as you cast? It seems you are pulling the line on your forward cast?

  • when your timing is off your line on the backcast will making a "snap" sound when your forward motion is too early

  • Thanks for this video! It has helped me out alot!

  • So when you pull the string from the reel to make it longer(because it seems loose), so that you can loop it further, what happens if you got a bite? Would you just reel it in? Srries I'm new to this,

  • Good, vid.. but should the cord hit the water behind you? when you are using your forarm to throw backward?

  • THANK YOU!!! Helped me very much! i just started fly fishing this year. I was lucky enough to catch my very first rainbow and brown on my first day of fly fishing.

  • Thank you very much for these great videos, I'm new to the sport and this will help me learn the best technique for casting the fly...
