Fly Fishing Basics | Part 2

In part 1 of this short fly fishing basics series, Tim Gaunt-Baker talked about the synergy between the rod and the line; the meaning of the markings on the rod as well as the double taper and weight forward lines.

As a fly fishing beginner, the best line to start with is a weight forward line that matches your rod. Note, you must ensure you get a well balanced rod.

In this, part 2 of Fly Fishing Basics, Tim demonstrates both the correct way and the incorrect way of performing the roll cast and the overhead cast, the two building blocks of fly fishing.

Just brought some fly fishing gear today and thanks to your helpful tips i should be heading out tomorrow for a try :D

@ThePyroMusician That's great to hear! Look forward to hearing about your first fish caught on the fly ;)

I have watched this at least 6 times and have failed to see the "firm stop at 11 o'clock" in any of the roll cast instructions. Also, i have watched several of your videos, mainly of you chatting to some one off camera, but also a bloke you taught double haul to. All are like watching paint dry. Sorry but it needs saying. There is very little to learn here.

Excellent video, one of the best for advising beginners like me :o)

Great bloke and easy to listen to and you make it all very clear and simple to understand, any tips for Northants resovoirs ?

[FlyFishingUK]

Thanks for your kind words, Kaz 'n' BigG. Have you tried Eyebrook Trout Fishery not too far from Northants? It really is a great fishing location. I am now running courses there so look forward to seeing you there.

This is every useful. Roaring River in Missouri is going to have a "Trout Day." and fly fishing is the only way to catch something.

@ThePyroMusician how did you do? :), / cowpow2k

Fantastic to see a Leading expert in action and taking the time to show us. Looking at some of the comments I would suggest maybe they take up another sport like GOLF perhaps . Remember GOLF spelt backwards is FLOG and that's what the vast majority of these golfers do every weekend. FLOG a little white ball up a big green field....18 times....Just a thought....!
