Who cares how the fly gets out there as long as its there and the fish still take the fly , I have been fly fishing for at least five years or more and i have watched over 50 different videos on how to cast a fly line and you know what, evey one of them got a different way of casting the fly , differnt tech from thier point .if your getting the fly out there and having fun while doing it then whats wrong with that,were not to beet the longest cast ,just to catch fish.

Definitely helps if you get someone who already knows how and have them show you. It's hard to learn the right stroke from watching a video, even a good video.

90% of my fish are caught within 60ft. You don't have to be able to cast the whole flyine out (although it can help sometimes =p), you just need good presentation and loops on your normal fishing casts. And the way to get good consistency with your casts is practise, so go fishing more. Lots more =]

More people need to take castingcourses!.so they learn how to cast, then you got the hole life to practise casting.

you catch so so very mutch more fish if you can cast for them where they are standing ,expesialy bigger trout.

Put your ego aside and take some advice from somebody who nows.

I see so meny people fishing whit fly and hardly ever catching fish mostly the dond no where the fish stand and second, they scare them so far avay and then cant cast that far!

If you take it seriously LEARN

When nymphing or streamers/bugger fishing casting is just 5 percent of the whole thing. When dry fly fishing, casting is very important as you want to cast where you see the fish picking up flies.

Anyway when nymphing your number one priority is the presentation of that fly. It needs to be presented as live as possible, which means NO DRAG! Same rule goes for dry fly fishing where there should be NO DRAG!

Presentation is the key to success!

@willisbrow I agree that casting is a big part of it but what i want to say is that one dosn't realy need to be a expert caster to enjoy the fish. I too enjoy the casting part but i also enjoy hooking a fish once in a while too. Put someone on a pool and have them stay there all day casting thier arms off with no fish they soon loose thier interest,but put them thier when the fish are there they seem to cain interest in it much faster and want to keep learning and casting beter .

@dookiekong007

I appreciate fly fishing very much my friend , I spend all winter at the vice just so i can do just that. To someone who is out to catch fish yes there is some skills required but they are not nessesaraly needed right from the start.Like i said before , everyone will develope thier own tech for fly casting , some like the double haul some like the single ,some like the roll ,ans some just want to cast a line to have fun doing it.Trust me i enjoy my fly fishing .

[dookiekong007]

@flytyier11 you clearly expressed the kind of unappreciation to this type of fishing. who doesn't like catching fish but every once in a while, everyone gotta respect the skills required by these rods, it's the beauty in fly fishing, exactly why we have it in the first place. It's an art
