Fly Fishing: What are tailing loops and how to stop them (with slow motion)

[@jtvette9188]

This guy is the best instructor on the internet!

[@FishinFamily]

Excellent explanation and the slow-mo is great

[@huntsail3727]

The clearest and best explanation of this I have seen great job! Subscribed.

I’ve been a SW flyfisherman for 10 years but was lacking at efficiency and failing with long presentation in wind. I paid a small fee (a bargain!) to have Captain Chris Myers analyze my cast by video and worked on it all summer. I then stopped by his area recently for a lesson and really got down to brass tacks with my casting and feel my skills are much better. Our charter the next day was rained out. I have a Bahamas flats trip in a few weeks and know I’m going to do much better. Thanks Cap’n Chris!

[@CaptChrisMyers]

Great working with you. Good luck with the bones.

[@tonygruber]

Well done. That was the best explanation of what a tailing loop is (and is not) that I have seen. Thanks!!

[@CaptChrisMyers]

Glad it was helpful!

[@proskipper1]

Excellent coaching tips - the slo mo and commentary really demonstrated the good and bad elements of a cast. Thank you!

[@CaptChrisMyers]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@MapALife]

Excellent video, probably one of the most useful ones out there for correcting mistakes. Very well articulated too!!! I first watched it a year or 2 ago and I'm still learning from it now.

[@CaptChrisMyers]

Thanks

[@lenpebs5038]

I had heard the term tailing loop many times but have never understood what it was until your slow mo

[@charlieboutin3341]

Absolutely one of the best instructors I’ve seen. We had a flyfishing convention here in Texas in October. I sent as many as I could to your channel to learn to cast. Really appreciate it Capt. Myers. Have a great weekend! 👍🎣

[@CaptChrisMyers]

Thanks for sharing!

[@weisswurstfruhstuck8523]

Really the best channel so far for me to really see what I do wrong and what I do right. The slow motion videos are amazing for me to slowly understand what the fly line is doing in combination with the rod and rod tip! Thanks again!

I spent about 2 hours a few nights ago, just trying to find a good instructor on KZbin to help me with my casting - after a disappointing and depressing Red Fish trip in Louisiana. I found your channel and I am really pleased I did. You do a beautiful job of teaching - and the next time I am heading to Orlando, I am going to look you up. Thank you so much for such GREAT content.

[@CaptChrisMyers]

Thanks. Look forward to working with you sometime.

[@M.Shibli]

I agree

[@Fischer67]

Thanks a lot for you clear instructional presentation, also helpful to present a fly, so to say

[@jayludvigh6958]

You may get tired of hearing it, but I think your casting instruction is well above anything else i've seen on the internet and I have watched dozens of other content creators. Please keep up the great work.

[@CaptChrisMyers]

Thanks!

[@xj96jeep1]

Thanks! These are great tips with very clear explanations. I have alot to work on now!

[@weisswurstfruhstuck8523]

Amazingly helpful for me ! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻 can’t tell enough how well explained this is. I am going fly fishing every day almost for a year now at least in the evening for some carp here in our pond and you explain stuff so well and I can even see it now what’s going on so I can try to copy it now and especially KNOW what my mistakes are not just have to guess and try around. Great channel. Can just recommend anyone to watch the videos here for your fly fishing!!!

[@CaptChrisMyers]

Glad they are helping. Ein Weißwurstfrühstück ist wunderbar, besonders mit einem Bayrische Lager.

[@kevinjtoner]

Your instructional videos are very helpful. I always look forward to seeing a new one…….Thank you 👍🎣

[@CaptChrisMyers]

I appreciate that!

[@sylarwang2555]

very good tutorial, thanks！

[@derekspace]

Great teaching bro! Thank you, I needed that. Been doing more saltwater fishing and my faults are really showing up.

[@GmanfromTexas]

Great instruction. Thanks

[@paulobainz1210]

Great advice. Thx for sharing your knowledge.

[@M.Shibli]

[@CaptChrisMyers]

Thanks

[@FlyRiderFishing]

Great demonstration! 👍

[@CaptChrisMyers]

Thanks

[@goswo]

Brilliant.

[@mikestone9129]

Thanks, you explained this very well.

[@CaptChrisMyers]

You're welcome!

[@cecilhash4698]

excellent!

[@terryc9685]

Chris, love your videos, I think you got your concave and convex terms mixed up at the 3:35 mark. I do it often when teaching. I think concave = going down the cave with the rod tip.

[@CaptChrisMyers]

Good spot. Didn't catch that during the edit.

[@Wilder2001]

this video changed my mind, I tought I had a lot of tailing loops but in effect they are closed loops. I get them when I try to cast far (for me is 20-22m) . any suggestion on how to solve them? thank you was very helpful

[@CaptChrisMyers]

Without seeing your cast, its hard to say. You can send me a video and I can take a look at it.

[@Wilder2001]

@@CaptChrisMyers that would be awesome!! Thank you!

[@lendog725]

Wish you could post more…

[@rabbit5717]

Ok!!! That’s why about 10-15% of my cast end up a big cussing episode!!
