Fly Casting Tips & Techniques: Distance Fly Casting - Leland Rod Co. - Mentor your Cast

[@metiefly]

Thank you for this excellent demonstration of technique... Best example of practical casting advice that I've found on the web - I've added significant distance and (almost!) eradicated wind knots as a result of practising these principles. Awesome video, well done!

[@sylvaner01]

Thanks, I was looking for videos like this all over the net

[@FlyFishSC]

What a great club. I joined when visiting my brother in Oakland. It's nice to know places like these exist.

[@adamellison2220]

Great video, very well presented. I picked up a few tips. Thanks.

[@lelandfly]

@jsrtoofar The rod is a Leland prototype and has yet to be available, soon though! It is a 5 weight with what I would best describe as an adaptive taper. The line is the Rio Gold Tournament Taper (5wt). The triangle taper is a good casting line the long taper accelerates the line as it gets thinner due to less wind resistance. The shorter back taper kicks all over the power into the belly quickly and give it the shooting head zip.

Thanks for an excellent video... great instruction, clear and easy to follow.

[@mikefulcher2501]

great video - will try the three techniques to get line out to 100 feet

[@erhardt1963]

Thanks ... very nice demonstration of the technique ... / tommy, DK.

[@cachi-7878]

Nice technique! Very helpful, thank you.

[@kodepop]

I didn't want to wake my entire house up so I was going by the subtitles, and I got really confused then I couldn't stop laughing.

[@lelandalameida3116]

I'm learning from a company with my name lol. Awesome. Gonna have to get a Leland rod

[@jimknowles5483]

Hi George Tariffic video! Could you please consider making a videos covering two subjects? 1. How to cast needle sharp loops? 2. How to elimate wavyness in the upper and lower legs of thoes needle sharp, pointed loops? There are so many videos covering the basics.....you would be by yourself and I would gladly pay well for those videos!! Take a look at the KZbin video "In search of a perfect loop ". Great video, just needs throughly detailed instructions!! Thanks just jim

[@dariomanfroi9447]

Many expert fly casters suggest to put forward the right foot for a right hand caster, but this video shows that is possible casting excellent with opposite position

[@lelandfly]

@jsrtoofar Lines with long rear tapers, long bellies, and a average front are the best for casting long distances.

[@janbynens4596]

very well explained !!!

[@shandadrury6947]

excellent video

[@dan0122333]

I can't wait until I understand all of this

[@jaymiller6916]

Very interesting....I would think that elevation is determined by how much line you are false casting. If you are false casting...let's say...over 60 ft. you would have to throw the line higher in the back due to gravity taking over....when I try to throw too high in the backcast, all I end up doing is losing power and load......Awesome casting George!

[@dariomanfroi9447]

It is excellent casting style even if most of the champions today uses the 170 ° technique to achieve maximum distance. The stance is usually used to pecize cast. I think this technique is also ergonomically correct .

[@Massangler1856]

@Grayfisher1 good point you can see from the triangular shape of his loops that the lower section of his line is colliding with the upper section, like throwing a Frisbee straight up this type of cast will lose distance. That being said his cast is very good.

[@lelandfly]

@jsrtoofar I am shooting about 8 ft- 10ft. I start typically with about 60 ft (just to get my bearings). I then work my way out to about 80ft. This is really only possible with lines that have a very long belly and back taper.

[@lelandfly]

Tack för kommentar stor.

[@lelandfly]

@vibrationdumbbell The rod Is a Leland Rod Co Prototype, it has been in developmental stages for a little over a year not and should be available soon.

[@vincentruggiero7275]

Sometimes your stance was closed, sometimes open, in the video. When you won the tournament, what stance did you go with? Hope you say closed (because I cast better closed), but I know that is unorthodox for long distance.

[@laytonjames9741]

I'm sure that you can't cast 100' without good technique but what about the equipment ? If you are using a WF line with a front taper of (say) 30' then you will have to carry and shoot a further 70' - is this possible ? Also what about the rod - what weight and length are the best. I can cast between 70' and 80' (i.e. from the reel to the end of a 9' leader) but find it impossible to cast that extra 20' or so. Would any equipment (regardless of cost) help me, or do I just need to improve my technique ?

[@thefishfighter]

Cool~!

[@swellcat66]

. . . going by the subtitles, and I got really confused . . . . . ________________________ The goofy subtitles are very distracting. Fortunately, the CC button at the bottom of the video screen turns these off.

[@l.e.o.1127]

Nice.....

[@JonNg415]

SICK

[@justforfunrider5898]

im 17 and already taught myself this but i just dont have enough line in my reel to cast any further

[@ualgremlin]

The squeeeeeeeeeze. Yessssss.

[@jsrtoofar]

Thank you. I am using the TT and getting used to it and it seems to be, for me any way a great shooter. It gets a little sloppy in the wind, which is user error for sure. I appreciate you getting back. Which line were you using please and the rod to? I am throwing a Wulff TT 6/7 on a Ross FW-6. I'm curious to your rod flex, it looks perfect/

[@armjamal1]

how long to carry line in the haul before shooting it out?

[@jaymiller6916]

I wish that was my problem!!!!

[@thatbmxguy8949]

I have a 7ft rod and can't seem to get it out there and my whole set costed 1000 American dollars

[@jsrtoofar]

Quick question: How much line approximately, were you feeding in between your back strokes? It looked like like you were letting about 2 or 3 decent loops out. Thinking you started with 40' and finished with like 70 before launching it? Just curious. Thanks for the tips.

[@UkFlyFisher]

think of a boy exiting in November....... at 1.41 probably the best typo I have ever seen ..... but it does work and if you think of him exiting in December youll get another 2ft on your cast

[@fritzraddatz5980]

Was ist mit youtube los, kein Video läuft ruhig ab?

[@105mania6]

What fly line that you use?

[@crazyobservations3080]

I figured out how to cast all the way across the lake. Its called a boat

[@kevinjensenjusufi9549]

Need more linne C:

[@szupakskie]

what s with the subtitles

[@wintj987]

Boe i like your boots

[@redchaserron]

That's all fine and good on a pool or casting lawn, but rock your body like that on the front of my skiff and I'll push you out. "Rocking your body" also rocks a boat, causing pressure waves that will scare everything on the flats.

[@ryanlogas1436]

You mad or naaahhh?

[@lelandfly]

redchaserron I hear ya, but this was purely a distance casting video which will simply win you a trophy or street cred. Rarely will you cast 100 feet on the flats as you probably know. I imagine you get a lot more waves from simply moving around then from a slight rock casting.

[@robynmcdonald3942]

Did NO ONE proof read this before posting ? DUH !!!

[@fritzraddatz5980]

explaine me please why the caster on this video , look always back by backcasting the line? It is possible the the Angler is not shure of his casting? I do not see any Bushes behind? Is the guy a Self-Loving Ballet -Caster?? That wat he did is not possible on the fishing Water. And the Double-Houle is not to do every Time. For me it is a option of my Flycasting, but for you it is a Religion?? I like to provocation! Fritz Raddatz, Germany, Schleswig-Holstein. City: PLÖN

[@lelandfly]

+Fritz Raddatz Great question. The answer, simple. The backcast is equally as important as the forward cast and we don't have eyes on the back of our heard therefore a quick glance to gauge the timing is key, especially as you release more line out during each back cast. If he where to just be casting a fixed amount of line he wouldn't need to turn so often but as you let more line out you need to make sure you don't start your next, or forward cast until the line is completely straightened, otherwise on the forward cast he wouldn't be moving any fly line at all, just the rod all alone. He may be a self loving ballet caster too, but hey what's wrong with the ballet?
