Fly Casting Streamers: How To Fly Cast

Casting Streamers can be a chore. Especially when you have a weighted and wind resistant patterns over 5 inches! I show you my approach and how I practice off the water. I will go over three elements that make this cast super easy and you will be able to use A REGULAR FLOATING FLY LINE to cast big streamers. I will say, that if you can afford a good streamer floating fly line, you will be bombing casts with ease and accuracy.
One of the critical parts is the leader. My formula for floating lines is as follows:
Maxima Clear
20lb 40 inches
15lb 18 inches
12lb 20 inches

Simply the best, most common sense. Effective how to cast video ever. Your videos make the "pros" on other channels look silly. You keep it up I can't watch enough. #1 here you come.

Thank you for the kind words. I sincerely appreciate it and it really helps fuel my desire to keep making videos. I wish you the very best of luck on the water this weekend!

ima haul me some carp with these new found skillz!

[@greenhornflyhorn]

You’re already a carp master, leave some for us mere mortals!!

[@jmann3363]

Good info on the shorter leader and opening up your loop. I will definitely try that out. I hadn't fished heavy streamers much just because of the issues you discussed.

[@greenhornflyhorn]

I can relate as I was there before. Give it a shot, I bet you will be surprised how well it works. I know I was. Thank you for watching.

[@thequietwoods]

This is great! I always have a hard time casting streamers, gonna work on this. Thanks!

[@greenhornflyhorn]

I hope you do! Definitely will get you slinging streamers farther and with accuracy! Good luck out there!

[@bradynlyon9487]

Great video on casting streamers, other videos of watched left a lot of questions, this answers those for me , thanks

[@greenhornflyhorn]

Hey there! Glad it helped you out. I hope you go sling some big flies and get into some lunkers! Keep er’ tight!

[@AnglingBadly]

I don’t get it. Your videos are awesome. Why aren’t people crushing the like button?! Please keep it up!!

Merci d'avoir regardé!

Really great video Milan and easy to understand. My question is when you say the camera is 30 feet away is that from the rod tip, reel or your feet? The footage after the 15 min mark is best watched at 4:20.

[@greenhornflyhorn]

It’s from the rod tip. I use a laser range finder than step 3 paces for the rod. A few camera shots are cropped to not have all the dogs in frame(i was at our local park) so it might play an illusion. Thanks for watching and hope you get out this weekend!

[@andrewmcdowell1291]

@@greenhornflyhorn Thanks you too.

Excellent, ive never tried swinging what appears to be a dead cat before, but i will give it a go. My streamers are quite a bit smaller than yours😢

[@greenhornflyhorn]

Dead cat!!! Hahahah! Looks like one for sure. It’s a Kelly Galloup pattern called the Barely Legal. I put weight in mine as well as a cone head so it gets down faster. That marabou is like a parachute haha! Anyways, I hope you give it a go. When i started practicing with actual streamers, my casting became accurate and much better overnight! Keep er’ tight!

[@multilecful]

@greenhornflyhorn i dont think i would be able to get that pattern here in NZ. But next week the boy and me will be swinging flies in the Pyrenees so i will look out for something similar in the tackle shops there.

[@greenhornflyhorn]

@@multilecful keep forgetting you’re down there. Those browns are massive down there, I bet they would just crush huge streamers. Well, best of luck this weekend!
