[@mountainknife]

Probably the best roll caster I have ever seen

[@DrRockso419]

Really diggin' the videos. started as a kid, but left off as a young adult... picked it back up now that I'm older. Great to have a phenomenal source of teaching, thank you!

[@epicflyfish]

Great stuff @DrRocks0419 KEEP AT IT!

[@Dylan1994Hunter]

I watched your once in a blue moon vid, witch is put together perfectly, I could not get over the casting they just kept on going and going, the other thing that amazed me was how many mice that brown had in it. That just makes me wanna go there.

[@HarshRana]

Hi! I fish for Himalayan Mahseer in India. I've watched all your videos on You Tube and recommended them to beginner Fly rodders. Top-notch ,tasteful instruction Mr. Bumcast and team. Thanks and Regards Harsh

[@matttheswede]

@Bumcast Thank you! it looks like magic in the hands of a pro caster like yourself. brilliant watching.

[@bassfishing247]

this is a cool short clip!!! i dont know much about fly fishing, but i know the line hes using looks cool, and he makes this look simple.

[@epicflyfish]

@Viktor4386 I'd call it an aerial Snap - T, It's the same set of moves. In this case you don't let the full line settle after the snap (then on to form a D-Loop) You simply move the rod back in concert with the line to form the D-Loop without pausing. You really miss out a step by making the move continuous from snap to D-loop then out again.

[@Matrimoney]

This video is amazing, awesome casting...those loops are crazy tight!

[@luvenacantik1789]

Awesome video... Never stop lookin .. again and again

[@cozyum1313]

i have seen so many videos of fly fishing and this is the best one so far love it

[@hrvojemarkovic]

its amaizing... Gacka river is european princess,one of the most famous in Europe!!! In media is not promotion, but it has everything it seeks angler, the perfect and affordable river, very selective fish, which is a challenge, 11 km long river, the different parts and depths (from 0.5 to 11 m) .... perfect fishing ... who comes to rehearsals gacka river always stays on top ...

[@inhousefilms_]

looks really well put together... and an amazing caster!

[@haskyfly]

Большое спасибо! Вы очень помогли в освоении заброса! Thank you very much! you very much helped with development cast! Creative successes in creation of similar videos! Привет из Беларуси! Hello from Belarus!

[@epicflyfish]

Bright coloured lines are certainly easy to practice with

[@Thwarptide]

I've only been throwing for 3 days now and I've already perfected the "tree top loop" the "bushwacker ", "spider monkey" and my personal favorite "crack the whip". 🤣

[@epicflyfish]

nice!

[@UltimateSurvivalMan]

I love this vid! I have watched it more than 100 times! Thanks!!!

[@markdizon888]

This makes me to go out there and practice my new fly fishing rod. I wonder what fly line you using in to this video?

[@FlyFishingUK]

Wow! Now there are some GREAT shots! Excellent stuff!! Tim

[@jaclyn8696]

Your the best fly fisherman i have ever seen

[@TheMnflyfisherman]

Beautiful! True poetry in motion !!

[@FreshFishPro]

Best fly casting channel on ewetube!

[@epicflyfish]

Thank you kind sir!

[@browntrout54]

@Bumcast thanks Carl. Pretty much the same as me. i tend just to use the polyleaders for salmon fishing with the double handed rod. For trout it is all standard factory tapered leaders. I do like your idea of the visible poly leader for demonstration/teaching purposes. I think i'll give that a try too.

[@epicflyfish]

@browntrout54 It's actually just wrapped with white plumbers thread tape! it comes off again relatively easily

[@epicflyfish]

@Viktor4386 You make a very good point! - and I suppose it could be termed as both. Many do begin those wiggles before the rod effectively stops - some after. To make a really effective 'wiggle cast/mend' is all tends to happen simultaneously without clear distinction. But that's just me, others may have differing opinions. Interested to hear them. Cheers!

[@THALIDO]

Usual stunning quality Carl. A+ Ryan.

[@epicflyfish]

@TheEliteFisherMan Thanks mate, I'll be working on completing the DVD next week, hope to get it out in a month

[@UltimateSurvivalMan]

I love this video! This video was the video who inspired me to start fly fishing, thank you very much!

[@jakej21120]

@jogelinho remember that the difference between conventional fishing and fly fishing is that in fly fishing you are casting the weight of the line and not the weight of a lure or weighted bait.... i would suggested a little bit heavier line

[@spacemanspiff2012]

I'm an expert on the pile cast. - - - The line ends up in a big pile. :o You make it look easy.

[@yareelohim77]

What type of fishing is the SA Expt Distance best used for? I am currently usuing a WFF with a 38' head. I find it a bit hard to shoot and gain good distance with. Would the SA EX Distance be a good line for longer casts and control? I fish smaller streams to large rivers for trout and occasional steelhead. Would the SA Mastery be a better choice? Also, would you recommend DT or WF? - Thank you!

[@smrtkscm]

He is magician. Superb video!

[@browntrout54]

Carl, I've been thinking about painting a rod white. Did you do that one yourself and if so, what sort of paint did you use?

[@63yogi]

Great movies, great fishing and casting. All very tastefully put together. What editing software do you use? When you upload in HD 720p does it take a long time to upload a movie of this 3 min length? I have a Sony cx110 video camera and Ulead software. When I save in high quality the files are sooo big that it takes ages to upload. Hoping for some advice. And keep up the great work.

[@jogelinho]

Great movies but I recognize that you show all the casts with like 30 ft of line out. How do you actually do when fishing, when you fish the whole cast out and have to start the new cast with only like 10 ft fly line out? Thats my big problem right now, I havent got enough weight outside the rod. Tips?

[@epicflyfish]

@cozyyum1313 - Thanks! - check out our other clips! `This one and quite a few more are available for download from our new store swiflyflyfishingdotcom

[@epicflyfish]

@63yogi The Rod is a 6# 9ft Sage Vantage, the line a Scientific Anglers Expert Distance, the leader is an Airflo Polyleader

[@epicflyfish]

@charbcbc Glad you liked it - those casts are pretty straightforward to learn - get the DVD! ; )

[@AnimanuiVasile]

Such an amazing caster

[@epicflyfish]

Thank You!

[@skyhigh69896]

@jogelinho use WF weight forward fly line, its designed for the weight to be proportioned at the front= more weight with less line

[@wolfchristiane]

Hi Carl, thats really a great video!!! Best wishes, Wolfgang

[@arivineberg]

As usual, simply the best!

[@johnpatrickrivera]

...good job with this ... as always ... can you tell me what line you were using?...

[@epicflyfish]

@kypeboy The Rod is a Sage Vantage, the reel (from memory) is a Danielsson FW

[@epicflyfish]

Hi, I don't think I would - but I may be misunderstanding the analogy of course. I can understand the piston like movement used with a saw being likened to part of the movement in the casting stroke (Translation) But the most important movement in the casting stroke - Rotation - seems to be absent from the action used when sawing

[@haskyfly]

Большое спасибо! Вы очень помогли в освоении заброса! Thank you very much! you very much helped with development cast! Creative successes in creation of similar videos!

[@wallb9ng]

please tell me, where i can get this nice line which you are using. i really like the color and it seems to be a very good one. thank you, jan

[@epicflyfish]

@Viktor4386 No I wouldn't recommend the Expert Distance for trout or sass, I'd recommend a trout or bass line... S.A make some specific lines for throwing large bass bugs, and delicate tapers for spring creeks and trout - The Mastery series is excellent

[@epicflyfish]

Thank you for the kind words! :)

[@epicflyfish]

@geekslayerinc Thanks for the compliment! - Jeet Kwan Do, now that's a big deal. Bruce was THE man

[@browntrout54]

A nice concise clip Carl. I liked the use of the fluorescent polyleader for illustration purposes. Do you use polyleaders in your day to day fishing? just curious.

[@루시에Ds1fji]

Your beautiful video and a great cast

[@c.ascott729]

ive been trying to perfect my roll cast im gonna try the tuck cast now

[@Polky]

Filming is awesome! Really good casting and editing as well!

[@epicflyfish]

@Viktor4386 Great to hear, yes, we're planning more. We should get another underway in a couple of months.

[@frite111]

Argh! Why isint this dvd out yet! My pool will be all frozen up by the time it gets out! lol!

[@TheSilverstonedwolf]

You make this look so easy :3

[@epicflyfish]

Thank you!!

[@epicflyfish]

Pleasure! - glad you enjoyed it

[@ydna1024]

@bumcast awesome and inspiring filming and casting. I ordered the DVD about a week ago, hope it will turn up soon :) *can't wait* Great idea about the plumbing tape, not as sexy as i thought but it fooled me :)

[@cachi-7878]

Nice casting!

[@epicflyfish]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@HenrikWiinholtDavidsen]

Great video :) What rod, weel and fly line are you using in this video?

[@FlyFishNewZealand]

Hi Carl, Awesome - can I put a link to this on my website?

[@dantedespedida]

Excellent video instruction! Liked it so much I purchased the DVD. Please, please, please make another DVD exploring other spey casting techniques like the snake roll. A lot of my fly fishing is on small rivers with tree-choked banks and no room at all for a back cast.

[@epicflyfish]

dantedespedida Will do!!

[@epicflyfish]

@wallb9ng The line is a Scientific Anglers Expert Distance (Orange) you should be able to order it via your local tackle store

[@Dylan1994Hunter]

@Bumcast Wow I need that line now. I have some like it but it is sinking line. Well I know what I am buying next.

[@epicflyfish]

Thank you - very glad you got a kick out of the clips!

[@epicflyfish]

@hrvojemarkovic Thank you - how are things in Croatia today!?

[@brillantegenio]

Hi Carl. I have downloaded this at iTunes ;) I just can't stop watching it!! What is the name of the song?

[@epicflyfish]

@Polky Cheers -glad you liked it

[@HelleRita]

great shots, and casting (wish it was me that could do that)

[@zweihander7825]

the music used here's top-notch, what's it called?

[@63yogi]

Nice. What rod and line is the caster using?

[@matttheswede]

Can i ask what type of action you have got on that rod? Or what rod it is even?

[@dNsOutdoors]

@bumcast What kind of fly line are you using in this video I like the different color tip would be easier to see than my solid color line

[@epicflyfish]

@SaskFlyFisher the Line is a Scientific Anglers Expert Distance / Instructors line

[@brillantegenio]

Beautiful, simply beautiful! ;) Greetings from Denmark.

[@chingkoq]

any idea where to get those video?..wish to have one....or more hehehe by the way...i'm from Malaysia and i'm new in flyfishing..thanks..

[@epicflyfish]

@Gaz9977 Pay for my airfare and I'll be there mate. Glad you like our stuff - cheers!

[@GunDolfOutdoors]

Great video! Where did you get that SAGE camo hat...I gotta have one!!!!

[@epicflyfish]

@ydna1024 Many thanks! - Your DVD shouldn't be far away at all then Cheers Carl

[@TheBgcheez]

I am new to fly fishing and just picked up another rod - 6wt. (I have an 8 to), but I can 't seem to cast this line out there like I can the #8. Wondering if it is just the newness to the rod or would better line (heavier line) help?

[@kingas1992]

I don't own a fishing rod.... i'm not near any fishing areas.... never fished in my life and probably will never fish in my life.... how did i end up here......

[@troutbum8699]

Because that guys cast is so perfect who wouldn't be here.

[@epicflyfish]

@brillantegenio Cool! - Funnily enough, the tune is called 'Give it a Go' It's a piece of commercial production music that we licensed for the DVD

[@epicflyfish]

@browntrout54 Thanks. I'll occasionally use a poly leader if I need a sink tip or perhaps if it's very windy and I need to turn over a big fly - but not often

[@TheEliteFisherMan]

That's crazy man, awesome video!! Great casting aswell!

[@Gaz9977]

WOW....any chance of you coming to South Wales to give me some tips ;)......credit to you AND the camera man for the vid..Amazing fair play,i feel well crap now tho,cheers :D

[@lukeg2188]

It's like manly ribbon dancing

[@epicflyfish]

LOL - thanks!

[@kypeboy]

2:22 "the runner" bahaha. Great casting!! and what rod/reel/andd line are you using?

[@Bin7Penjelajah]

Wow, god idea, nice place

[@epicflyfish]

Thanks for visiting

[@flyfishmap]

Awesome. Wish I could cast like that :)

[@hrvojemarkovic]

dream work.... Greetings from Croatia / gacka river

[@saleemaslam5425]

wonderful video for instructions thank you

[@lillskrudlillskrud5052]

what kind of line is that? wich brand and model?

[@epicflyfish]

@reddog124674 Well, that exactly what a roll cast should do - lift the line up of the water and lay it out in front of you. A roll cast, performed and taught correctly should indeed lift the line.

[@epicflyfish]

@matttheswede Of course! - the Rod is a Sage Vantage - Medium/fast action

[@epicflyfish]

Wow, that's more than I've seen it!

[@epicflyfish]

@1234Hulabula For a long time I used an SA Hi-Viz distance line, we're now offering a low cost Hi-Viz DT line in our store. The Specs are all listed

[@epicflyfish]

@FlyFishNewZealand Yes of course!

[@chriscaleb170]

What is this song?

[@epicflyfish]

Hey thanks. When they get going those brownies certainly munch a lot of mice!

[@agaalinsya6217]

I like it.. Hope with the tutorial cast. 👍👏👏👏

[@epicflyfish]

I hope so too!
