Tight Lines-Learning to Fly Cast Part 1

[@emirumpf9947]

Rod/reel combo with fishing kit as an emergency setup kzbin.infoUgkxntWMOZsO1Zfv-pdn_XuffEtNkTYAYu4Z recommend but started to use this every day. The rod is thick and seems durable. I keep it neatly tucked into a regular backpack all the time with my fishing gear, and can grab it anytime, put it on my back and go anywhere. I just read in another review that the rod length below the reel is adjustable as well, so I will try that too for even more portability. Probably the best setup I've ever owned. I lost the cap for the eyelets, but no big deal since I still have the black cloth sheath that came for the pole and I use that. Very portable and high quality.

This is the best instructional video I've found online. I've been an angler since i was a small child, but never had a chance to learn Fly Fishing. I picked up my first Fly Rod yesterday and needed instruction, so this is perfect for a beginner like me. Nice job!

It is one thing to know how to cast, but what separates Tim from other casters is that he is such an awesome teacher. These videos really helped out my cast about 3 years ago.(they still do) I could barely cast 40 ft. and now I can bomb 80 footers with nice tight loops. You can be sure that every guy at Tightlines KNOWS what they are talking about.

[@AtmaRising]

Tim is great even in his condescending, "Oh I know how to do it," which is so accurate as I speak for myself almost every time I go out and execute the wrong way again and again. Glad I found this. Thanks Tim!

[@Aussiecamper]

Coming back here for some nostalgia. This is where I started 12 years ago, and thanks to Tim fly fishing has taken me places I thought I'd never go. Constantly telling myself to accelerate to a stop has helped a bunch!

[@tightlinesflyshop]

Well thank you! So glad this videos have helped you on your journey my friend. All my best, Tim Landwehr

[@swdw973]

Unlike other videos, this is a great review for people who've been casting as your details help spot bad habits that are developing. Good job!

[@348nm]

Thank You Tim for these videos... I watched your videos a couple of years ago and you taught me the basics and now many trout later I will say this addiction will never die..

[@IncisalEdges]

Having practiced with this video and part 2 in mind, I can now cast accurately from 40 to 50 feet, and I actually look like I know what Im doing. I cant catch a fish to save my life :) but my casting is getting good now. Thanks!!

[@butcherscott]

absolutately the best straight casting video ever made. Im not posting this to compete with others jus to earn a ludicrous green thumb rating. This guy really simply without argument nails each step by step

[@JDonthefly]

Watched this video some time ago when I first got into the sport.. it made a lot of sense to me and helped me in my way... I now recomend this series to friends.. great videos. Nice work

[@Zekton12]

Thanks for the video. I just picked up a fly rod and have no one to learn from but the internet. This was very helpful!!!

[@russham3]

This is a wonderful series, by far the best on KZbin thank so much for doing these and giving me the confidence to do it myself.

[@HamletNOR]

These videos are just FANTASTIC! The clear and easy to understand way of explaining things are just great!!! Keep up the good work! :-)

[@Canadiandawg]

Best fly fishing instructional on KZbin. I can finally cast a fly..Ty

[@clydelady731]

I rewatched several times the whole series.. thanks for a great foundation.

[@b12yan316]

This guy deserves my money. This video is informative.

[@CarlosSV.92]

Excellent demonstration of joan wulff's book: Fly casting accuracy. I had so much doubts but now I don't have any question

[@GregMyhre2582]

great video, i have been fly fishing for a few years now and this video and the others in the series made casting effortless compared to other training methods ive tried

[@bmiraglia7]

Thanks for the videos! I learned last year watching tight lines and it is going great for my 2nd year, just watching this video to aid in shaking off the rust! The bite is excellent on the Neversink River Gorge

[@martyplay1000]

This is a really excellent couple of vids, thank you. Highly recommended viewing.

[@nachasyo]

one of the better casting videos on youtubes

[@geeznogoodname]

I learned fly fishing from my uncle when I was a kid growing up in NH. If he explained it like Tim does, well I might have not tossed my first fly rig off a cliff. Thanks!

[@steveneliason628]

Great video to get you casting properly. Like many people I just starting casting on my own years ago and I move my wrist way too much. I just picked up a new fly rod to start fly fishing again with my son. Seeing what a good false cast should look like helps a lot. Even after a just 15 minutes of practice I could tell when I did it properly and when I didn't. I just need to spend a few hours to make doing it properly a habit.

[@justin-db7hw]

Just got the hang of it after bout a month. Biggest thing for me was making a strong back cast so the loop on the forward cast is tighter/unrolls better and when ever the line doesn't go straight it's always that the rod didn't go in a straight path. Try to follow the same path on the forward cast as the backcast just went. I found the joan wulff technique(up over the shoulder) much easier starting out, but if you let out too much line it tends to smack the water while letting line out.

[@Carved2023]

Thank you these videos have help out my casting tremendously !

[@pilipolio]

At last a good quality video about fly casting basics! Thanks from France, I will practise this evening on local "chevesnes"

[@jaymiller6916]

We've all been there!! It is best to practice at home, the park or wherever, get a handle on what you are doing and then go out and fish. It is not that much fun if you are trying to learn to cast while wanting to catch fish....Find someone and ask them questions, look up videos on casting.....etc....It really is a blast once you understand the dynamics of the fly cast.

[@Laochri]

Thanks! I want to learn to fly fish, this is a very informational video. Best I have seen. It is going into a Playlist.

[@NCbassfishing24]

Thanks for the video. It helped me get started casting.

[@wolw66]

[@speycast19]

great video! greatings from austria

[@IncisalEdges]

I just spent my second day (ever) practicing fly casting, and my wrist is killing me. Ive read and listened to lots of good advice, but this is the 1st video that really drilled it into my head... dont use the wrist. Ok now Im off to the 2nd video.

[@tightlinesflyshop]

@tw833 yup! same principle apply on both fresh and saltwater. Tight Lines, Tim

[@tightlinesflyshop]

[@pugilist102]

@RainStyle967 Just started to fly fish and I can't cast it beyond 10 ft! I sucked at baitcasting at first too so I'm gonna stick with it.

[@FallRiverCaddis]

Best on KZbin

[@lechevaliermalfet1]

this is a great video.

[@1948spanky]

Hi Tim,nice work on your video instructions,but i do have a ?,be sides trout ,do fly fisherman ever use swivels on their leaders,and what size,i am learning on a 5wt. 9 ft.

[@fenderisgood]

ive been interested in fly fishing for a while, but i just plain suck ass at casting. i can only cast like 20 feet and i get severe wind knots. had to put the fly rod down and switch to spinning in the middle of the day

[@mrfunnyguy557]

after you cast it out do you reel it in like a regular lure or do you let it sit out there and wait for the fish to hit

[@dudediva69]

I AM so happy that i found your channel .. you have awesome content ... but please tell whoever is editing all your hard work to stop putting those boxes that never close or disappear ... it is so distracking to have to pause and figure out how to close all them before one can ENJOY your content ... just my thoughts...

[@briman62]

i'm brand new to fly casting. how did you attach that yarn? just fold it over and tie some leader around it?

[@batstarwars2]

Hi I just got my first fly rod yesterday at Cabela's. Could you tell me what type of lure to use?

[@davidsquall351]

Great Post

[@michaelmurphy6568]

very helpful

[@CI321]

@batstarwars2 depends, what kind of fish will you be catching?

[@UniverseOfFreeMusic]

Super! Thanks alot!!

[@chrisgeiger6711]

Hi my name is Chris Geiger I'm just getting in to fly fishing and I'm in to bass and trout I'd like to know if you have a set of both. I'm unable to find them on the Web site. I'd also like to know what price I'm looking at for them. Any help would be greatly appreciated

[@hujipher]

@StephM1982 ya that is weird but its because this is a number 1-3 series
