Tight Lines-Learning to Fly Cast Part 2

[@عزامالزهرانيزهران]

Wow just seeing this out of the box kzbin.infoUgkxQr1yd4Zc6qJF-scTB6Zb9dQbVpviuRxB recommend I have yet to fish with this set up, but based on the first hands on appeal, I can tell this is going to change the way i pack and carry to a whole new level. If you fish like i do, you know the smaller and less stuff the better. I’ve added a photo of just some of my gear so you can see how serious i am about fishing.

[@AtmaRising]

Tim, you've helped me so much already just by watching these videos. Thanks man!

[@jobarules14]

I have been fishing regularly for about a decade now. I've used mainly spin-casting gear but have always been intrigued by fly fishing. It seems like such an art. Needless to say, I received my first fly outfit, and have been practicing casting in my yard. I purchased an instructional dvd on fly casting, but nothing compares to these videos. Thank you.

[@IncisalEdges]

Your videos are well aimed. Many experts are so disconnected with a newbie's thoughts that we dont understand what theyre talking about until later. I can understand what youre saying right now. My heart-felt thanks.

[@elmer3383]

I learned more in that 10 min than I have in 3 weeks. U showed me my mistakes like you were watching me make them. Also nobody has shown me the line behind them so I never knew what I was looking for, the long far away view was most helpful. you have a knack for teaching GREAT JOB.

[@jpbikerfreak]

Thanks for the videos! They're a great intro for those of us who know zero about fly fishing!

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

Smooth casts man. That shoot at the end was like butter.

[@cdubvdub]

after about a hour of practicing, i went to the bow and landed my first trout after about 15 mins. very exciting thanks for the instructional . it was exactly what i have been trying to fine !

[@DBKCT]

Recommended by a friend before starting out as opposed to learning from guys with bad habits. Very clearly demonstrated in stages. Can't wait to add fly casting to my salt water arsenal.

[@BUKANPKK]

by far is one of the best ever video, perfect, simple and really useful, i did learn in matter of first minute of the video as i did practice in my garden. thanks a lot man nice presentation and instruction.

[@StephanieRoze]

this is very useful information for me. i've been planning on making the commitment of 'living off the land' so i need to learn the various techniques of fishing. your fly fishing videos have been very helpful to me and my future lifestyle. thanks!

[@YYKORG]

Great! Direct and clear. The best I´ve found around. Many thanks!

[@1MillerTime]

I just wanted to say that I've been struggling to figure out fly casting after reading a few highly rated books on the subject. A few minutes watching the first two videos here and it clicked - thanks a lot!

[@eriksandnes]

Great videos! I'm a newbie and have watched several videos about casting techniques, but this is the first one that has been able to so clearly identify why my casting has been so terrible! Thank you :) Hope you will re-shoot these in HD as Pea Boy suggests!

[@Jason-bv7ez]

Absolutely fantastic videos. Thanks very much. I'm also looking forward to the HD content, when available.

[@kmw670]

Great videos. So helpful. I'm new to this, and have been having a bugger of a time figuring out the casting. Your videos are a tremendous help. Easy enough for me to even understand. Thank you for the help.

[@ctedone]

This video has helped me more than any other. Sometimes I find myself forcing the line out to the river (yes I'm a newbie, but fishing the big waters). I know when I have a god cast and a bad one.

[@MrnMrsMoonBeast]

THANK YOU!!! Helped me very much! i just started fly fishing this year. I was lucky enough to catch my very first rainbow and brown on my first day of fly fishing.

[@jdssurf]

man, finally a vid that gets to the point fast.

[@KingKenny04]

Very helpful. I had been forcing myself into some very bad habits, using the wrist too much, flailing the line around, not allowing the line to uncurl completely... ...needless to say i snapped off a lot of flies. Thanks for the vid!

[@IncisalEdges]

I finally gained some ground in casting today, and its because I remembered how this video emphasized the false cast. I was working on form, and trying not to wear my arm out, but I was still only able to cast 15 feet or so, and I got frustrated. When I remembered I was supposed to practice false casting, that was when I got a feel for timing. I learned more in 5 minutes than I had since I began.

[@tightlinesflyshop]

That is going to depend on what you are fishing for. A 5 or 6 wt. is the rod we sell more of in the shop because it is perfect for trout, panfish and light bass fishing. It is also a great rod to teach casting with because it is light and not exhausting to cast. The 7 or 8 wt rod is also important, because it is used for Smallmouth, Largemouth, Steelhead, Salmon, Pike, Bonefish, etc. Unfortunately you can get 1 rod that will do all things. Tight Lines, Tim

[@TheBurntSportsman]

Last time I learned fly fishing was in 4th grade. I am going to start up again. Thanks for the vid!!

[@ssstellarj]

Great video! I just got back from my first practice session at a park. I had my share of tangles and probably looked pretty sloppy/funny a lot of the time, but after an hour or so it started to come together a little bit. Can't wait to get back out there and hopefully be somewhat ready for my Mammoth trip in a month!

[@brianlreynolds]

Proof that you can't please everyone..... 9 dislikes?? Thanks for posting a great video to help others with their casting. Tight Lines!

[@tightlinesflyshop]

Are you looking for a shooting line or standard 6 wt line? If you are looking for a great 6wt line, I would recommend the RIO Gold. This is the shops favorite line. If the rod is super fast the RIO Grand will help load the faster action rods better. Good Luck Tim Tim

[@tightlinesflyshop]

If you are making a snapping sound when you are casting it is a simple fix. Chances are you are not allowing your loop on the back cast or the front cast to open up. You are pulling the loop out to quickly. The fix is to wait an extra second on both the back and front cast. You may be rushing a bit. Good luck Tim

[@darkmossie633]

great video, although others show much more free shoulder in cast, rather than locked shoulder which is right? would recommend 5 weight, lighter fly-line to copy this tutorial

[@Ether6123]

Thank you for the video, very informative and helpful!

[@dutchsoundman]

Going to practice. this is a very good video, thanks.

[@leevwj4]

very nice and helpful video....im gonna keep those in mind....

[@castawayrick]

Great teaching tips, Rick, CCI

[@rcgois]

accelerate to a stop, accelerate to a stop. I got it!. Great video.

[@batstarwars2]

Thanks for this video! It has helped me out alot!

[@mrkennethporter]

thanks so much for this. I am to proud to take lessons . These vids you made have helped me so much. I have been wondering why I cant present well. I cant get the leader to follow the fly line gently into the water. I have been lunging forward with my arm. I will be subscribing to these.

[@rnance41008]

just started fly fishing great vid this helps alot thanks.

[@tim308]

Tim, When trying to shoot line at the end of the front cast, do you start to let the line go when the loop is all out, or can you start to let the line out before then. I'm having trouble with the line shooting out at any distance. Love the videos and they have helped greatly. Tim H.

[@xXCODXxcow]

best vids about fly fishing

[@mrfood34]

great video very informative always wanted to try fly fishing going to go out and get a combo package, should I start on a lake rather than a stream because of the fact that there's no obstacles on the lake?

[@sasquatch446]

before i saw this i was getting snagged every other cast but i watched went to my back yard and my loop was tighter and so much better and i now have better control

[@MsMusicEmpire]

Information perfect presented! Thank you!

[@UltimateSurvivalMan]

Good, vid.. but should the cord hit the water behind you? when you are using your forarm to throw backward?

[@iclrag]

whats your opinion on combo spin fly rods? my dad gave me his now that he's no-longer fly fishing and i have a great interest in it i really enjoy the learning process of fly fishing and i think i have it down pretty good (well good enough to cast properly) and now i wonder how itll compare to a full fly rod, ive used this rod hundreds of times for spincasting and its one of my favorites and now i can learn fly fishing to! very exciting (sorry for the long message, bit side tracked

[@tightlinesflyshop]

Did you just rip off the leader in the tree or break the fly line itself off? If it is just the leader or tippet portion, I would just replace the entire leader. Tim

[@tightlinesflyshop]

Thanks a bunch for all the great comments everyone. The shop is working on a basics of double hauling video right now.

[@Rdeboer]

@tightlinesflyshop Yeah, that's probably saved me from looking a bit silly! I'll look into the casting techniques you mentioned and thank you for taking the time to reply.

[@frankenstrat25]

@UnitedPonys this isnt tightlines. the false cast is used to get momentum in your cast to cast far enough to where you want or u can do it to target exactly where you want to land your fly

[@chrisbianco9898]

this is fantastic, thank you!

[@Rdeboer]

Can the techniques shown in this video be used with a two-handed fly rod the same as on a single-handed rod, or are different skills required?

[@aaidan04]

ok when doing the false cast when the line is going behind you does it have to be straight before you go forwards?

[@aznkidsrule]

Awsome vid great tip

[@awalt26439]

For the basic stuff demo one cannot ask much better.

[@WestminiAlum]

What are you doing with your left hand as you cast? It seems you are pulling the line on your forward cast?

[@tightlinesflyshop]

Unfortunately the techniques are different. A true two-handed rod is designed to actually spey cast or skagit cast with and not ideally suited for overhand casting. Hope that helps.

[@georgeposey7741]

I'm having a problem with when my line is returning forward if it dosent smack my rod tip it twist as its in rolling why? What am I doing wrong?

[@motorgrader3]

Great tips

[@MultiErnie2]

great vid

[@dmb3428]

when your timing is off your line on the backcast will making a "snap" sound when your forward motion is too early

[@iclrag]

@MrPuffables and the 10th person is a spin caster haha actually im learning fly but ive been a spin caster since i was about 5-6

[@faulknej1]

Anyone have a link to part 1 of this?

[@freshcrazydope]

at 3:30 he tells you to wait for the line to unfold before you go forward or backwards on your cast

[@unitaper]

what does he mean by "false" cast?

[@JoeConEd]

this guys great.

[@artaios1984]

such great instructions too bad that the video quality is so bad.. cheers from austria

[@ejk401]

The three part casting series will not load. I've tried three different browsers. Please Fix!!

[@dantheman6491]

thats all i need to work on is the false cast

[@misitif]

damn his good at xplaining.. i have a good practice footage now

[@delwigzieful]

They need to reshoot these there way past there best,para

[@scotsmaninthephilippines1659]

In each of you examples you are actually adding a haul. To do this you must, I mean must, address the timing of when you add the haul. Sorry to say your doing something that is instinctive for you but definitely not instinctive for a novice.

[@MsMusicEmpire]

Cant*:)

[@bygone44]

lol, I must have looked like a moron before i saw this video
