How to fly cast in the wind - Fly Fishing Windy Conditions

[@kevinjtoner]

Yours is the best fly casting instruction on KZbin. I never miss a video…….Thank you 👍🎣

I was practicing today in the wind and this video helps me understand why things weren't working and what to try to improve my casting in these conditions. Thanks!

[@CaptChrisMyers]

Glad it helped!

[@ericenglish8720]

Well done, Captain Myers! I’ll work on these drills and we’ll go fishing sometime!

[@cachi-7878]

@8:30 Do you have your line marked for distances? It doesn’t look like you have 70ft. of line out, including the leader length.

[@CaptChrisMyers]

Yes, I have 50 and 75ft marked on my lines so I can easily show students the distances.

[@lastcoyote2355]

What weight fly line would you suggest for a windy area like Jurassic lake ?

[@CaptChrisMyers]

That depends on what size fish you are targeting, size of the flies, how far you need to cast, and your ability to cast well formed loops. A 5wt can be can be cast into a stiff wind with good loops as far as a 9wt with wide open loops. many anglers use heavier rods and line to compensate for less efficient loops.

[@michaelogden5958]

If you do equipment videos, could you demonstrate (maybe 8wt) differences between rod "speeds"... medium fast, and fast... and the effects they might have on a non-pro fly caster. I realize that "speed" is somewhat subjective, and I'm not interested in brand names. Just some guidelines. Thanks!

[@CaptChrisMyers]

Great idea. Thanks. Probably would not be able to demonstrate as I would need several rods of the same weight and different actions. I try to stay away from soft rods so I do not own any but I can certainly discuss the differences and maybe break out the antique fiberglass rod to show what slow or soft is like.

I wish I was related to this guy so I could just get lessons for free lol Side note, the best method I've found for casting in the wind is grabbing my spinner :/

[@CaptChrisMyers]

I with you on that. While I can do it, I prefer not to. Spinning rods are just as fun to me.
