How to • Fly casting • Casting with shooting heads • fishing tips

[@christiantong]

One of the best videos I’ve seen about how to cast with a shooting head. It was very informative and helpful! Thank you.

Thanks. Lars is a very good instructor. Best regards from the camera man.

Awesome, love it. I've fished many different methods/styles however I always return to the fly rod, preferably without a bung/bobber/indicator. Recently, I've been using a stripping basket, a huge help at least for me.

[@WideOpenOutdoorFilm]

I am glad you like the video. If you want to cast long distance, the stripping basket is what you need. Tight lines from the camera man 😊

Great stuff Lars!! Nice loops too mate.

Great video! I’ve been figuring this out on my own and this had some excellent tips. Thanks.

Great to hear! Thanks from the camera man behind

Very informative video and well done. I would like to see a instructional video like this with overhead casting on a two handed rod .

[@WideOpenOutdoorFilm]

Thanks for your nice words about the video. I have made another series of videos with double handed rods: Here is the whole movie: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2LYY5Z8opuDfLs And here is a little part of it about overhead casting: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpnZiJ2Lptd8r80 And here a part of the video with long distance overhead casting: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6fIn4WCf9t4l68

What kind of distance is realistic for a single back cast typically? Is there a limitation on the length of leaders you can use?

[@Dean-dz4sy]

Can you spey cast this type of line

[@loomi47]

I was fishing some place with short back room. If I cut a weighted up regular fly line into a compact shooting head,about 26-28ft long,is it too short?will it cause any issue?

[@MrJeepiez]

what shooting head is used in the video?

[@tahoe829]

New fly caster here thank you for the wonderful instruction. Would this work for a 280gr weight forward Bass taper fly line as well? Also when shooting this should i use the whole 13.1 meter of head or half of that and shoot the rest out with any running line to control it better? If i try to work with that whole length of head out its a little hard to control. I appreciate any help or advice. Thanks kindly :)

[@WideOpenOutdoorFilm]

As a new fly caster try to watch both movies. I think you will find all your answers here: Casting That Fly 1 • Basics. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZbEip5pZ7KjqKs Casting That Fly 2 • Advanced kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJXcZmRtp7N_f9U

[@wherethefishare]

Excellent! Thanks!

[@WideOpenOutdoorFilm]

Glad it was helpful! Tight lines from the cameraman 😊

[@TheStreamUrchin1]

very nice. what diameter mono do you use

[@WideOpenOutdoorFilm]

Lars is using af monofilament shooting line - it is normally 24-32 lbs for coastal fishing.

[@toshko04]

And what if you don't have back cast space ?

[@WideOpenOutdoorFilm]

You can actually achieve quite a good distance with a spey cast using a single-handed fly rod. Check out this link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hamtkqFoa5WfZtk Tight lines from the camera man 😊

Good video totally disagree on those line trays on a really windy day they are dreadful.

[@WideOpenOutdoorFilm]

I am the camera man, and I fish a lot for sea trout around the danish coast line. I couldn't live without the line tray - even in strong wind. But I agree - it can be dreadful as you say :-). I think it depends on the circumstances, and the design of the line tray. Thanks for your comments.

[@regularSenseAppeal]

​@@WideOpenOutdoorFilm Probably 90% of saltwater anglers in Denmark uses some sort of line basket. It is a compromise but they do make life a lot easier.

[@efam7349]

U need some body to help u with video as we didnot see what u doing..especially first part

[@WideOpenOutdoorFilm]

I am the camera man behind the series, and sorry I do not really understand what you mean - It is filmed from many different angles, please explain? Tight lines from the camera man 😊
