Hey James-what wt rod are you using? Thanks

Excellent, now time to practice

i noticed is doing a haul when casting

He has the reel over his head, not good

For years I’ve cast a wf full line ouf of my rod with about 15 ft of backing.. I don’t know how far I’ve never measured it !!

Are you using a shooting head or regular floating line?

Would this work for 5 and 6 wt rods which are lined up?

To the film editor, you are constantly switching cameras and no one can actually see the total movement of his right elbow through the entire stroke, because you are just showing the cast from different perspectives, but you hide that elbow motion and how the hauling is relative to his elbow, arm and hand position. So people that are viewing the little nuances are not seeing the whole picture of what is happening with his right elbow and arm stroke, throughout the entire casting stroke, because you keep that side hidden.

Line ???????

Aye th'karraty poonch 😊 Y'know, I'm fortunate in my life to known and learned from real fly fishing luminaries. True legends in the sport. I'm ashamed to say that I'm only just now hearing about James Tomlinson. What a grand gentleman and scholar. So grateful to have found this video. ❤

Is this the world record holder

I wish he would give more details like how much line he is carrying, rod, line specs and any line treatments. He's done competing I don't see why he wouldn't reveal these details.

This is a look at me But unhelpful video. These champs do not yield their equipment nor secrets. And that is fine, but spare us hopefuls watching this garble!

Some horrible jealous people commenting. Not only is this man hitting those distances he has the tournament pedigree to back it up. He has no need to lie having achieved everything in tournament fly casting. Great video.

That amazing. I see what you are doing. Thanks James

Has anyone learned to cast 165’ by watching this video? 100’? 80’?

I wish I could understand what he's saying ???

Fk ur music

We call that double hauling

I understand that there are certain skeptics about the casting and perhaps are justified and perhaps they aren’t. I enjoyed watching this gentleman cast and he is absolutely correct as we get older, we lose muscle mass and matter what we do. I liked his 140° angle casting(and that’s by my guesstimate not measured close paren and also the way he uses his full body - - good movements for a senior person; and as I said, perhaps his line is going as far as he says, who knows? Perhaps he has a tail wind - - so what it’s still not a bad cast. Thank you for your entertainment and your thoughts, John.

Well if tou have the right line and rod setup it is easy to cast 100+ ft.

bravo Mr pour cette démonstration de la double traction

I would be happy to cast 70ft consistency. Lol

I love the whole body as a power source! Your low hand close to the body (not being cantilevered at length) makes so much sense!! Plus the reduced effort which allows you to throw big heavy salt water flys, rods and lines all day with reduced fatigue! I love it! So instructions are through as well as very clear. Now if you could help me with that clarity. I am trying to develop a needle sharp tight loop cast where the upper and lower legs are stright (without waves). I am not interested in great distance, just 20 t0 50 feet. As a perfect example of what I am trying to achieve, view the utube video "In search of the perfect loop " . If you could make that clear I would be so grateful! Thanks for all you have shared! jim

Although I speak English I can't understand a word he says.

May I ask, please, what line is it you are using there? And the rod as well, thanks?

Tom, it’s unfortunate you are constantly changing camera views! We can’t get a full stroke without cutting into a different angle. We need to be able to see several backcasts and forward casts with no interruptions. Please upload again. Thanks.

I feel like I lose distance by casting with my elbow and wrist straight, as he mentions here. Going to try this side arm approach, today. Thanks for the video.

Does James do fly distance casting lessons

Very impressive! After 45 years of fly fishing 90% of the trout I have caught were less than 40 feet from me.

Fucking hell the one time you show the line at extension during a cast and it's slapping the grass like fuckery, this is piss poor casting

Not a chance 120foot into wind don’t think so

This is great and everything, but not much use for real fishing situations; its lawn casting, a far cry from being on the water. You dont have much control once the fly lands on the water.

Great guy and great tips. My only complaint is how the angle the shot changed so frequently every time you were looking to see a part of the cast from a certain angle the angle would change.

Master fly caster , very helpful video

I think this is all a computer-generated simulation. It’s all fake! How do I know? I’ve visited Scotland 5 times, spent over 15 weeks total, and I’ve never seen blue sky like that! 😂

5:18 he nearly snagged that airplane on his backcast! 😂

how to cast 120 feet...buy a spey rod. Done lol

I'd like to see: a tape measure, the path of your fly line and the loops front and back. It's alright talking feet and yards, but prove it. If that cast is 165 feet on a bog standard fly line, I'm a monkey's uncle.

Always impressed with your videos, but would love a clip of how the loops look back and front.

HI, is your back cast more oblique respect to the forward cast. It seems to me that back and front casts are not on the same plane but probably I am wrong. My compliments 😊

He unbelievable, shoots out all the line and into the backing in a 30 mph wind , the trees are bending more than his rod , is he using a silicone based fly line dressing? 🤔

Sir, what is the brand, length and weight of your rod? Also what is the brand, type and weight of the line you are using? I don’t care about the reel.

That’s all fine and dandy if you have 80+ feet of room behind you…

I’ve been fly fishing for years and never been into my backing like this guy... i now have a goal.

You make it look so easy, reminds me of Lefty Kreh.

Nice master class! Great casting technique! What is the optimal line lenght we should keep in the air before shoot it? Thanks. Thight lines!

Cheers Mate!

Who would thought Groundskeeper Willie was such a fly fishing expert. 🤣 Just kidding. THANK YOU. I can't wait to try this. I wish it wasn't dark out right now.

At first I thought those were heavy metal patches. Oh well.
