Collapsed Tailing Loop Presentations

This is an obscure get-out-of-jail presentation cast! As a method of creating a slack line cast with a heavy fly, a controlled tailing loop can provide a useful function. This is not the video I intend for this week 😀 and that is coming tomorrow.
There are a number of collapsed casts, all achieving a similar layout. One of to intentionally dome the loop. Another is to use trajectories to collide the unrolling line with the water. One could Tuck Cast but with heavy flies you’ll need to swap your usual fishing hat for a helmet. And then there is this, which is arguably the most delicate.
It’s not an easy one to learn because learning to cast tailing loops is almost as hard as learning to avoid them. 🤠

Great for drifting a fly downstream to a riser… a guide taught me this a few weeks ago

Bloody brilliant mate!

Great, seen this done in Bosnia casting downstream with small dry flies. I never been about to figure how it was done.

Great demo of insufficient arc contributing to a tail hahaha. I used this cast on the Tongariro to not straighten the leader and therefore to get the nymphs to bomb straight down with the least resistance.

Handy when you have a heavy fly and don’t want to spook the fish on a river 🙂

A Masterclass in positioning..

Oh....so now we've all spent years trying to avoid a tailing loop using your excellent films and website......you want us all to throw a tailing loop and dump the line on the water like a wheelbarrow full of horse shhh...manure? What a F€$£#n Liberty 😁 Joking aside, did you learn this by accident on a bad cast or did u really work out a way to beat the conditions?

Haha. No I really used it in the estuary for the first time. Of course I’d spend years throwing tails as demonstrations beforehand but had no purpose for it! There are actually a couple of other casts involving tails; one is a skipped fly mangrove cast and the other is a curve cast from a horizontal tail.
