  • why do they pull back when they cast forward?

  • Pulling back on the line, or "hauling", increases the line speed. We start the haul with the start of the cast, whether it's the back or forward cast, but accelerate progressively toward the stop. If you haul too early it can open the loop and cause a tailing loop.

  • casting with a flyrod can be the best feeling in the world. thanks for sharing.

  • Good points about spooking fish, line drag and distance. Most Trout are caught within 40 ft to 60 ft. max. It is more important to learn how to mend line for drag free natural presentations.

  • @sylvaner01 - My guess is the weight of your fly is not properly matched to your line and leader, or you may be force casting.

  • That looks funny as heck.

  • I'm having trouble having my mono line at the end uncurl when I distance cast, any tips for making the fly travel past the mono line? my mono is grouped together whilst my fly line is straight

  • yes i believe it`s better to be accurate than cast long but fishing the flats for bonefish , you have to be able sometimes to get distance , plus casting a long line is a great feeling like hitting a bullseye in archery

  • im standing like that atm in by backyard hehe just learning how to throw propperly

  • i totally agree. i prefer to be accurate then shooting long.

  • i have fly fished for twenty years and have never needed to cast over 40 ft unless i was show boating in my youth. Better to make shorter casts and control the drift and drag, than long casts that will just spook fish
