Fly Fishing Casting Techniques - Fly Casting for Beginners, Leveling up & Distance Fly Casting

A quality fly line makes all the difference when casting - here is a link to the fly line used in this tutorial: amzn.to/38jUaTg #flyfishing #flycasting #howtocastaflyrod
Best fly rods, in my experience, are from Sage - locally made and top quality. 4wt: amzn.to/37FjaFv 5wt: amzn.to/3rfSjrf 6wt: amzn.to/3nEY6Vd 8wt: amzn.to/3nHuDKd
There is a lot to consider when casting a fly rod, especially for the first time. My hope is that you can integrate some of these best practices, tips and techniques into your own casting style to help with your fly casting growth. Remember, there is no one that can perform a perfect cast every time and don't let anyone tell you that you are doing it 'wrong'! There are just small adjustments you can make to improve and grow - the important part is that you are out there fly fishing and enjoying this amazing pastime - you got this! Just with a little practice and patience - your cast will improve! Cheers and FISH-ON!!!
This fly casting tutorial montage is a three chapter video that starts with fly fishing casting basics, leveling up with the double haul and more advanced distance fly rod casting. Level up your cast today! While it is important to keep a mental discipline regarding your rod position at 10-2, your arc will begin to widen slightly beyond this point as your distance increases. However, it's important to have this mental discipline in place so that your cast won't degrade. You will find that your arc will widen organically to near 9 - 3 (or 170° max) as shown in this video and as you continue to generate line speed with greater distance.
