Mark, you are so right…! I would like to know more about his grip and stop…. just jim

I agree that it's pushing "loop" down our throats but atleast it's well arranged. Good music, cinematography, no talking etc. Just lots of beautiful casts with great scenery and well placed soundtrack. I find it inspiring

Nothing more…? You are mearly covering your jealousy…!

I only saw trout in the video but i may have missed something. There are certainly salmon in the area.

Your jealousy is showing….!

@@jimknowles5483 not really

Well it's a spey tho not really a roll cast

@@Flies_the_limit

Great video...

Thanks Rob! It was shot on a Canon C100 Mark II

How's it coming along? Your comment was 5 Years ago I assume you've made drastic improvements:)

Hello Jim, the "pointiness" and tightness of Christopher's loops are exaggerated by the viewer's perspective. Note how he casts with his rod canted outward at roughly 45 degrees from his body. When filmed/viewed from the side, the loops appear narrower because the line is actually unfurling at an angle to the viewer - i.e. the loop is not unfurling with the top half directly above the bottom. It is, in fact, a lopsided loop. Don't get me wrong - his casting is excellent. However, the side-on angle of some of the filming distorts things.

Hello Jon, I wasn't "high" when I wrote that, and I'm sure you'll agree there's no need to be insulting, regardless of how much you might disagree with my comment. Let me put the crux of my argument another way: If I am standing on the bank opposite Christoper, watching him while he casts up and down the river, and he proceeds to cast with his rod canted at roughly 45 degress to his body, and the loops he creates proceed to unfurl at roughly 45 degrees to his body, the loops (viewed side-on) will appear narrower to me than if I was to observe them from either behind or in front of Christopher as he casts. This is a fact, and it relates to distance, perspective and depth perception (i.e. how we observe a three-dimensional world). Do not misunderstand me; I am not trying to diminish Chrstopher's obvious exemplorary abilities as a fly caster. I am merely trying to account for why his loops appear so impossibly narrow (or "tight") in much of the video. It is due to the camera's perspective.

Average loops, no problem.......true, but also his line is so smooth and free of humps and waveyness......he does not shock the line!

​@Average Loops glad someone realizes this. His casting is obviously impeccable but the angle of the rod with a side view is what makes it look like that.

Yea that is true about the appearance of "tightness" of the loop! As you correctly pointed out as a result of the 45° angle of the rod Stroke!.......but how do you achieve the "needle point" as it unrolls......?? Searching for the explanation.....!! Appreciate anyone's input..!
