I’m a complete beginner I’ve been studying different fly fishermen channels and you are by far my favorite. You’ve been so informative and you’re cool about it you make it so easy to follow!
Thanks for this video man. I've been a baitcaster/spinner fisherman my entire life. The fly fishing bug got ahold of me and I picked up my first setup yesterday. Been absorbing RUclips videos like crazy. Definitely one of the better ones! And great catch btw. This is the way.
Wanting to get into Fly fishing and been watching beginner casting videos for days and some that was 30 mins long and never got to the point, would also assume the people watching knew how much line to pull out etc. you got to the point and actually went step by step. Just a great video easy to follow. Some people just don’t know how to teach others. You did so good. Thank you! New sub!
Very good tutorial Dan. Fly fishing has really evolved since I started 50 years ago. Even casting techniques have changed. You have condensed the basics for newbies and provided some reminders for us "set in our ways" older dudes. Your channel rocks!
That 'thumb' tip is always the first thing I tell new fly fishers. I don't know whether to describe it as leverage or something else, but you are so much more steady for using it.
Thanks for mentioning the need for a full rod length of floating line. As a total newbie, I was surprised to see how few tutorials even mention that part. Kind of teaching myself at first until I get out with some buddies in a few weeks.
New fly rod owner here- thank you for the tips. Had no idea what the hell false casting even was after a couple videos watched lol you explained it quick. Thank you
Oh my gosh I tried casting fly fishing rod today for the first time, i made like 5 mistakes in every single cast, this video made my life so much easier, thank you buddy
I haven’t been FLY fishing in almost 30 years, thought it would be like riding a bike, but…NO. Thanks for the awesome quick guide, I just had to get back to the basics! I’ll watch your other vids now, I have two weeks till my upcoming trip. Tight lines y’all!
Nice drone shot bro. I'm 52, & just bought my 1st fly rod. It's a beginner set, but, no use spending a ton of money, until I can perfect my technique. Thanks for the instructions. I leave tomorrow for brookies, so I'm hoping to be able to use my rod efficiently.
New to fly fishing it took me years to perfect a bass bait casting reel now to a new adventure that will take me just as long or longer to fly cast and reel... I welcome the challenge thank you for your video.
I fish from a yak with my dad, learned because my uncle got into fly tying and fishing and had a lot of fun showing my dad. After i got my pole i have fallen in love with fly fishing.
I tried these suggestions and they worked. Mostly because they are common sense. Helped to look at the back cast, which I had never tried. It isn't that complicated when you get the idea.
About to open a pkg this week with my first fly rod kit - Been watching fly stuff for couple months. This is by far, the best quicky on getting the line out, one of the things I was most confused about. I've had all the other basics drilled into my brain it's become instinctive. 10 and 2, that's not hard to remember as I'll date myself, those numbers were also important in our youth for another reason in high school. This filled in some big holes. I'm sure there's other great ones out there, but I just haven't seen them. Learned a lot across a broad range, but not getting the line out, the way you explained it. Sometimes, it just takes the right version to click I guess. I feel I'll be pretty decent off the go with the amount of time I've spent going to RUclips Fly Fishing school. Great job man!
Im here to thank you man, I was on my very first time with fly rod and you help me so much that i received four rainbow trout on first trip ! If you will be in Sweden, I'm own you a beer 🍺
Friends gave me a fly fishing set up for my birthday a couple of weeks ago, been practising but havent grasped it keen to put your tips into practice from australia
New to fly fishing and yup having a few issues with my casting, way too many false casts. I’m going to follow your tips and hopefully improve. Thanks from England.
From the comments, it looks like I stumbled across the best vids first! Thanks! Step-Dad just got me my first fly rod and we are headed out to fish for sockeye on the Klutina in an hour. Never touched one before so I'll be cramming your videos between now and then. Wish me luck!
Going on first trip soon and this is first how-to video I've watched. Catching that fish sure adds to your credibility. Will be following. Wish me luck in Alaska.
I enjoyed your video. I like the actual demonstration - that's how I learn. Beautiful fish at the end was a pleasant surprise. Thanks and I'll tune in for more!😊
Thanks for the info Dan! I’m going to college in idaho and actually just purchased a fishing setup this morning! All I need is some waders and i’m set! Cheers
Nice! That is awesome - check out DRYFT waders, locally owned and operated. If you feel they might be right for you, I am an ambassador and can save you a little cash (coupon code: FlyFishDan). dryftfishing.com
outstanding VIDEO!!! Thank you, in Wyoming right now fly fishing with my own rig and without a guide for the first time... very frustrating, but I love it. Really appreciate the video amazing info.
You are most welcome! Good luck to you on your DIY trip to Wyoming! Check out this other video that might help a bit too: ruclips.net/video/6EcVg_MAiHQ/видео.html
@@FlyFishDan Dan! Your videos helped so much that finally on my last day of fishing and practicing from what I learned from you I was able to hammer some big Browns after getting skunked the first two days of fishing. Your channel makes me love fly fishing even more! So appreciative of you helping us out on the other side of the screen.
my mother and i want to learn how to cast a fly line. i bought a set of poles and got them set up, but we have troubles casting out.. hopefully this video will help us better
pretty good man,like your vid,i just started with it,and im not doing correct yet,i had a rotary cuff tear years ago and never got fix,so flying rod casting is painfull but i want to learn good,like it.
Excellent presentation! Well explained. Dan, do you fish with other techniques besides fly fishing? I am asking about using spin reel, bait casting or closed reel fishing? Was told that one may catch more fish and a lot more easily using these other techniques……that fly fishing was too slow and too difficult a technique (I.e. getting line caught in trees often. Does not happen with the other techniques.). Any thoughts would be appreciated! Thank you.
Thanks! I used a spinning rod from about age 3 to 16...once I moved to fly fishing, I've never looked back. If you put some time into learning, it far more fulfilling than any other type of fishing. Cheers!
Thanks Dan. I’m definitely getting better but I feel like I still false cast too much. I need to get that double haul mastered. As always thanks for the tips.
Fantastic video! I've been struggling with my cast and what I was missing was managing the fly line by holding it with my non-casting hand. I have been adding line with my line hand and letting my casting hand manage the line with my index finger when casting. Can't wait to give these tricks a try.
Just keep practicing man. It'll click one day. Keep it simple and don't chase perfection. Work on your short game and positioning and then build up to more distance casting as your confidence increases. You got this.
Yep! And I've commented about this on other videos, myself. A big BIG tip is to get over the "whip". As spinners, we're used to using speed and strength to load the rod and sent it way out there (at least I was). It's about going nice and easy. I forced myself to slow down and relax with it. And wait for that line to load behind you. The line itself will carry the fly out, not your force. In my opinion, it feels like the physics really takes place between your rod and fly line itself, and not you trying to launch a lure 80 feet. Keep it up. I literally put all my gear down and exclusively fly fished for a week and the progress is beautiful
Having a quality fly rod is important for improving your cast…so I built one! Everything in a top end fly rod for half the price. Check them out here: fishonrods.com/ Quality fly line matters too: www.cortlandline.com/FLYFISHDAN
You typically want to have a full length of floating line past the tip of your rod - your entire tapered leader should be in the water prior to picking up and casting. Hope that helps!
My dad was an amazing caster, really took for granted what he could have taught me but like fathers and son throughout history… if he thought it was cool it must be BOGUS! Oh well maybe in the next life I’ll fly fish with Dad
Outstanding video as I am new to fly fishing and while watching the comments and movements filled in some of the blanks in my casts! Might I ask the brand and model of your rod and reel?
I like to false cast a few times to better aim my distance I want to place my fly. I like to work sideways with the floats and just shooting a bunch of line out is not going to get my fly to land at the exact distance my target is. So false casting and slowly feeding line out with each cast works best for me on rivers with precise landing zones.
Thanks, well explained. I've been doing this for as long as you but didn't really realize what I was doing right, never thought about what I had learned through the years. Now it's time to teach my grandkids. So this will help a lot. hahahahahahah. Good job, sir.
That is just part of fly fishing I'm afraid - try not to 'yank' the line, easy to damage your expensive investment (fly line). They do make stripping baskets to keep that from happening...there are just bulky.
What you are doing is water loading, and that is actually easier than trying to false cast a bunch. Once you start to perfect your personal cast, you'll only false cast maybe once or twice during any fly cast. Cheers!
Nice vid, great tips here. Any tips/guidance on shooting the line? I'm familiar with the double-haul technique, but actually putting it into practice is another thing..
I would check out Redds Flies - they have built fly boxes for trout and have a lot of great patterns to try. I also built a box of my own favorite trout flies on fishonrods.com
Good job. I was skeptical I've come across too many pretentious, blowhard fly fishing pedants who pretend it's as complex as nuclear physics Good introduction without any excessive jargon or nonsense Thumbs up!

I'm having a heck of a time transitioning from spin casting to fly casting. I take both rods because I know I'm going to get frustrated.
Just stick with it JB - you'll get there
Just keep practicing man. It'll click one day. Keep it simple and don't chase perfection. Work on your short game and positioning and then build up to more distance casting as your confidence increases. You got this.
Same literally yesterday I was practicing fly fishing and just wasn’t catching anything and ended up switching to my spinner and caught 6 brook trout.
Yep! And I've commented about this on other videos, myself. A big BIG tip is to get over the "whip". As spinners, we're used to using speed and strength to load the rod and sent it way out there (at least I was). It's about going nice and easy. I forced myself to slow down and relax with it.

Having a quality fly rod is important for improving your cast…so I built one! Everything in a top end fly rod for half the price. Check them out here: fishonrods.com/ Quality fly line matters too: www.cortlandline.com/FLYFISHDAN
How much of the fly line is hanging from the rod when you cast? Do you have the leader dragging in/touching the water?
You typically want to have a full length of floating line past the tip of your rod - your entire tapered leader should be in the water prior to picking up and casting. Hope that helps!
Good stuff! Can you give some tips about dealing with the wind?
Wind is always a challenge - learning the double haul would help a ton with shooting the line into the wind.
Nice video, thank you. Beautiful catch, glad it happened in this video.
Thank you very much!
My dad was an amazing caster, really took for granted what he could have taught me but like fathers and son throughout history… if he thought it was cool it must be BOGUS! Oh well maybe in the next life I’ll fly fish with Dad
Great segment. As always. Typing sounds were distracting though 😊
Sorry about that!
Your videos are very valuable , they helps a lot , thanks.
Glad to hear that! I appreciate you taking the time to watch. Cheers!
Good explanation!! I really enjoy fishing videos from over the world. Amazing video!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Outstanding video as I am new to fly fishing and while watching the comments and movements filled in some of the blanks in my casts! Might I ask the brand and model of your rod and reel?
Thank you! I am using my own fly rod these days - medium fast action and very easy to cast. Check them out! fishonrods.com
I do salt water fishing from the side in South Africa and would like to try fly fishing. Thanks for the video
Awesome -thanks for taking the time to watch!
Question. Do you use a cover on the reel handle to make it easier to use? I think Mad River calls it a Knucklehead.
I never have - typically I chose a fly reel that’s comfortable for me to use, so that way I don’t need the gadgets.
Great video sharing your tips

Welcome aboard!
Thanks for the tips! Question, How do you manage the line when the are weeds and brash grabbing your line when you on the bank?
That is just part of fly fishing I'm afraid - try not to 'yank' the line, easy to damage your expensive investment (fly line). They do make stripping baskets to keep that from happening...there are just bulky.
Great fly casting lesson - well done!
Thank you! Cheers!

Oh wow I been out here casting like crazy and putting my line on the water then full casting again. I didn’t even know about false casting .
