Ask a Fly-Fishing Instructor VIII: Fixing Tailing Loops
Loading...
Uploaded by orvisvideos on Aug 16, 2011
Welcome to our eighth installment of "Ask a Fly-Fishing Instructor," starring our own Peter Kutzer, who works at the Manchester, Vermont, Fly Fishing School. A couple months ago, we asked you to post some questions about your biggest fly-casting problems. Reader "Phil A." wrote,
"I have a problem with power casting and a tangled mess of leader/flys. Enjoyed the video in helping with my casting errors."
In this lesson, Peter explains that most tangles are caused by "tailing loops," in which the top leg of the casting loop falls below the bottom leg. This causes the two legs to cross, which is a recipe for disaster. The main causes of tailing loops are overpowering, the forward cast, using too short a casting stroke, or trying too hard to "punch" the final cast for more distance. Peter explains what you need to do to fix these problems to create a smooth loop and reduce tangles. Once you've got the basics down, it's time to put Pete's lessons to work by practicing on your own lawn.
