    Who cares how the fly gets out there as long as its there and the fish still take the fly , I have been fly fishing for at least five years or more and i have watched over 50 different videos on how to cast a fly line and you know what, evey one of them got a different way of casting the fly , differnt tech from thier point .if your getting the fly out there and having fun while doing it then whats wrong with that,were not to beet the longest cast ,just to catch fish.

    has been casting with his right arm for years because of wrist problems. He was (is?) a big fan of the locked wrist.
    I got my first fly rod over 33 years ago.
    I did attend a Joan Wulff fly casting instructors school about 15 years ago. She knows more about fly casting than most and she teaches her students to use a wrist snap at the end of the stroke.
    Like you said though whatever works for you. The object is to have fun and catch fish. However you want to do it.

    Most of the casting stroke is done with your arm.
    As I said you have to know how to use the wrist. Bending the wrist on the back cast does lead to wide loops. Not allowing the wrist to go past the straight position on the back cast will prevent this.
    Most often tailing loops are caused by applying the power too early, before the rod is properly loaded.
    Accuracy is accomplished by forming tight loops.
    The locked wrist method has been taught for years, leading to many injuries, Lefty Kreh

    Your arm is stronger than your wrist.
    Wrist bending often contributes to wide, inefficient loops.
    Wrist bending often contributes to tailing loops.
    Wrist bending often contributes to less casting accuracy than a firm wrist.
    Wrist bending can accelerate the progression into carpal tunnel syndrome.
    you must have just started out.

    to each his own really. I grew up fly fishing and my dad would not recommend any bending in the wrist. works fine for us, for a very long time

  7. AlvinDedeaux on February 8th, 2010

    Actually the wrist is used. You just have to know how to use the wrist. You never let it go beyond the straight position on the back cast. Not using your wrist is like keeping your elbow glued to your side. Both are old casting methods that have been proven to be incorrect in most situations.

    I think I used a 5 for the video. I would get whatever weight you will fish with.

  9. AlvinDedeaux on February 8th, 2010

    It is called a demonstration.

  10. alitabares on February 8th, 2010

    i see some bending in the wrist. big no no

    what AFTM rod and line used? 6-7?
    a good starter level, before moving up into heavier rods and lines

    lol but not every day u see a black guy who sounds like a counry boy lol good vid bro

    Definitely helps if you get someone who already knows how and have them show you. It’s hard to learn the right stroke from watching a video, even a good video.

  19. Chiggs58th on February 8th, 2010

    This chap has a most peculiar casting motion but it seems to work for him. His hints and tips on the other videos are very helpful. To anyone learning to fly cast all I can say is don’t give up. It can be terribly frustrating at first but eventually you will get it.

    If i would cast like this guy i would quit flyfishing or take some learning hours with an european FFF master instructor.(Uwe Rieder, Roman Moser, Erhard Loidl …………..)

  21. bigfoot72203 on February 8th, 2010

    I thought your video is very informative. Fly fishing is new for me and I need all the info i can get. Thanks and keep up the good work.
