wow - I'm an absolute novice yet understood everything you said. Clear, concise, to the point, easy to follow (I think the excellent camera work helps too). Now I need to find some water and practise what you taught. In my opinion, Very well done! Thank you very much.

[@22triggy]

Very good presentation, not over done, beautiful filming. Thank you.

[@bogaugon]

Great teaching video, beautifully filmed. Clear and precise, great work

[@MrTelecaster101]

These videos are golden! Thank You!!

[@freemindas]

There's something so artistic about fly fishing. I wish I could learn this technique.

[@epicflyfish]

Thank you - you can!

[@epicflyfish]

That's what we like to hear Todd! great stuff!

[@AdvocareAdster]

Absolutely outstanding video. Best informative I've seen in a while. Thank you!

[@NiNj4k0S]

Great stuff once again... Thank you for sharing!

[@Matrimoney]

Those are some crazy good casts...very nice!

[@TheBgcheez]

Exceptional advice! I am new to fly fishing and need to master this cast because I find myself in tight quarters sometimes where a normal cast just catches bushes :)

[@giovannivenanzi3040]

these is that they are throwing!. Fantastic!.

[@epicflyfish]

Yes! - the outtakes on the DVD show it cruising around as we were rehearsing. ;-)

[@epicflyfish]

@Spinnerbait64 Many thanks. Casts that Catch Fish will be released in October and yes, It will be available in the UK and online

[@epicflyfish]

Our Pleasure! - glad you got something out of it :)

[@toddwade5105]

Great videos! absolutly beautiful casting, watching your videos has motivated me to practice more and buy your DVD!

[@door2yourheart]

Excellent!!

[@epicflyfish]

@ Matthew Russon Ah. From memory the reel in that particular clip is an old Danielsson FW. The Rod is a Sage Vantage - wrapped in white Plumbers tape

[@stevesnaps1]

Great video,thanks.

[@cleansingfire100]

omg that place looks amazing!!

[@nickolofogas22]

thank you so so much i watched your video then went fishing at thames river and cought my first fish while fly fishing.........abullhead"

[@epicflyfish]

@StcroixNick All things being equal a softer mid action rod will be a little easier. The trick is to make sure your D-Loop is large enough to lift the line. And it must loop and hang down behind your shoulder. The further out in front of you the D-Loop is, the more difficult the Roll cast is to execute

[@starnberg123]

just brought the DVD and watched it . Made me realize I need to go and practice my roll cast and reach mend :-). BTW pity you didn't catch the trout you were watching in the end credits!

[@kypeboy]

totally subscribing. your videos are extremely and in HD! haha great work, keep them coming.

[@Cesa210384]

Just great... thank you

[@epicflyfish]

Thank you! swiftflyfishing.com

[@ghettoflyfishing]

@twotells12 definitely works well from an elevated position. Easy to get a nice D-loop and load the rod, and watch how it all gets organized.

[@LizKauai]

Love the vids. I ordered the video from Amazon.

[@TheBgcheez]

Thank you!! Man I need to practice more!!

[@tim3854]

Not sure I'm happy to hear you were using a Vantage, as since I use one I won't be able to blame the rod anymore for my roll casting inadequacies! haha. I also use an SA line too, what a coincidence.

[@epicflyfish]

@carterchiasson Thanks!, the line is a Scientific Anglers Expert Distance (ED)

[@brandinwayne4862]

Beautiful technique !

[@epicflyfish]

Thank you!

[@epicflyfish]

@gmstuart1 For the CI the requirement os for a 'static roll cast' i.e a roll cast in two parts with a clearly defined pause in between. I do reach back a little further just prior to throwing the forward cast - it's not entirely intentional :) But yes, I suppose it does help tension things up and increase the stroke lenght a little

[@fly888ricky]

very nice cast :)

[@epicflyfish]

@Boowulf Yes, they're in our store

[@snorkygs85]

great explanation and good quality video ;-)

[@HelleRita]

very well explained - nice filming :-)

[@TallysDias]

Please.What's the name of that bright orange line?

[@webvision85]

thank you:)

[@epicflyfish]

@StcroixNick A #6 line and medium action Sage Vantage rod

[@epicflyfish]

@ JD sesller. It sounds highly likely you are being far too aggressive on the forward delivery cast. Start slow and smooth, and accelerate smoothly toward the final stop. "Start Slow, Fishing Fast"

[@epicflyfish]

@twotellys12 Casting from an elevated position actually makes it a lot easier, a pier is a great place to practice.

[@epicflyfish]

@geekslayerinc My pleasure sir!

[@stephenwelham]

brilliant instruction,have you tried rolling the line across the waters surfce with a bushy dry flie to induce a take. its lovely to watch a true master casting best reguards steve

[@austindunn2969]

This really is great looking cast, I have so much trouble with it though

[@niall441]

Bumcast what is at the end of your fly line, the green line? is it a shooting head?

[@epicflyfish]

@webvision85 You are very welcome :)

[@epicflyfish]

@wcodyw1990 Thanks. Personally I think you couldn't go past a Sage "Vantage" package. Rod, reel and line with a lifetime guarantee on the rod - you can't miss. It's a Sage Vantage I use in that clip (painted white)

[@epicflyfish]

Probably a good sign that you are tracking well! Try canting your rod out to the side just a little

[@epicflyfish]

@FrankB1191 Thanks! - it's a Sage Vantage

[@selliottmunro]

Great video, thanks. Any Idea What line and rod was used?

[@gmstuart1]

Carl...would you rather see a CCI candidate you are testing roll cast in one fluid motion or see them set the anchor on grass and then make the forward cast? Also, in slow motion it almost looks like a slight back cast after you pull the line back....is that to make your D loop larger or is that the trick to the tighter loops? It seems like the move back at the last second really sets up your nice forward cast....I feel like I can stop the rod high and still get larger loops on this cast....g

[@TheBgcheez]

Are you using a Royal Wulff Ambush Triangle Taper fly line? I ask because you effortlessly cast your line out there. When I am in the river it seems to grab my line more than yours.

[@lyymaan]

what rod and what line is he using in this video?

[@twotellys12]

this will probably only work if you stood in water, if your stood on a pier then theres a good changes you`ll snag you fly in the grass. Amazing footage and casting though. 5 star

[@krikauflyfishing]

Are you using a poly leader?

[@janusz.panicz]

Greetings Carl, Could you please clarify the roll vs switch cast? From this fragment of your DVD I'd say the casts you perform on the river are switch casts and what you practice on grass is roll casting as I see it. For me the difference between the two is the size of D-loop, the amount of line stick and pace. Simply, switch is bigger D-loop, little line stick and air-born forward cast. Roll is a lot of line stick, small D-loop and water-born forward. Will appreciate your comment.

[@bennyfisher1]

What is the Name/ Maker of the black and red line that was shown briefly?

[@talerlaca]

This is an excellent video, and absolutly beautiful roll cast! (really the art of the cast) Im interested, how did painted in the black and red line? What kind of paint. Thank you.

[@canadianfreesurfer]

what waders are you wearing?

[@epicflyfish]

S.A ED, 125ft instructors line and a GPX

[@epicflyfish]

@metFishing Cheers!

[@batstarwars2]

How long of a tippet do you need attached to you're fly line?

[@epicflyfish]

Great, make sure you tell them too! ;)

[@blacklawlessd]

I know this is a redundant question and has no real bearing on what you taught in the video, but what length rod are you using and what weight line? Great video, thank you

[@epicflyfish]

@fly888ricky Thank You

[@2ndgen12v]

make it look way to easy...my roll cast are not nearly that good..but i am ordering some new line soon the one with a heavy head on it made for single hand spey casts..hopefully that will help me extend my roll casts and shoot some line out there.

[@buiubr1]

Beautiful video. What equipment are you using? And numbering supplier rod and line.

[@epicflyfish]

@buiubr1 Thank you. Sage Vantage #6 Scientific Anglers Expert Distance line

[@epicflyfish]

@kypeboy Cheers!

[@epicflyfish]

@ Matthew Russon Does it really matter?

[@epicflyfish]

@nickolofogas22 Congratulations! Nice Job!

[@carterchiasson]

This looks like a fantastic video; I look forward to it. May I ask what line your using in the video?

[@budtaz11]

what kind of line and wt ?

[@epicflyfish]

Long belly 6wt

[@fishingtheoutdoors1353]

Is that a green screen

[@Boowulf]

Can't wait until this DVD is released in Europe. Will the Fly Casting Practice Package be sold in Europe?

[@epicflyfish]

@wcodyw1990 I'd go for a 9ft rod in a 6 weight. But check with your local sports store - I'm not sure how big your bass are

[@troublechild161]

Excellent casting ability. The loops are so tight. And you roll cast as far as I cast with a double haul. Are you a pro? If so, how long have you been fly fishing?

[@fly888ricky]

i am buy this dvd..learn more about fly casting ( become joint FFF ), very power full..! top :)

[@bwianbiccus]

ya know, i have tryed for weeks on this cast and i can't do it... :) but i like the vid.

[@epicflyfish]

@skaterdude1213 Ha - probably

[@epicflyfish]

No, I can "effortlessly cast my line out there" because I practise - that's it. The line is an Scientific Anglers Expert Distance line. Very long belly This clip was made before that line was even invented btw

[@lcmidon]

you hevi line DT

[@epicflyfish]

I made it

[@podlasiuk]

pls post it on vimeo :)

[@epicflyfish]

Ha thank you, but that's no "British accent thing" - I'm a New Zealander, the DVD was made here, thats how we sound!

[@kypeboy]
