- Jon Hazlett at the Ashland Fly Shop discusses three methods to improve your forward cast - 'Roll Cast', 'Switch Cast' and 'Pull & Pop'.

I bought a switch rod last year, watched innumerable RUclips videos (including this one), bought books on casting, and took a lesson from a certified instructor. That was enough to get me started. Now as I try to improve my technique and rewatch your videos, I find them amazingly pertinent. Every time I hear you say, "These are the two most common faults I see" I have an ah-ha moment! The "hot dog in the sky" analogy rescued my snake roll. It's going to take time, but I know all your advice will eventually sink in. Thank you so much for doing these!
Love the exercises to learn. The bright colored fly rod makes it much easier to see the motion!
Just started using the underhand and the results were 100%. You can feel the power in the Butt of the rod and stops the rod from dipping, so easy!!
Thanks for this Jon. Do these drills myself, call the pull to the mid section, “the cowbell”. Find myself at different times telling myself, “more cowbell”. In a way, I fish with Christopher Walken.
Great one. Now, I will never forget it.
Another great explanation Jon.
Thanks jon, supper helpful. I been watching a lot of vidios, from ian gordon to gary scott, and there's were helpful, this one helped me out a lot. Thanks again, Robert from Northern indiana . cheers
Thank you! I was working on this recently. I’m definitely pushing and not engaging my lower hand enough.
Thank you! Glad you got something out of it! And yes, 80% bottom hand, 20% top hand is a good ratio for your spey casts
Without a doubt my favourite youtube channel. Great information. Here's a question. Any tips for casting when standing in deep water? Especially line management. Do you do anything different or do you think it's just dealing with it? I'm fully converted to using 11ft switch rods now and skagit/scandi lines instead of my 15 ft beast. cheers Jon
Thanks Salmo Ninja!
As you wade deeper, your rod essentially gets shorter. You have to increase the height and speed of your D-Loop stroke to compensate for the depth. Once you make the casting adjustments, your line management issues should go away. You could try holding smaller loops if there's too much resistance from wading deeper. Cheers!
Cheers John! Shooting line can be a nightmare in slow, deep running water when you're wading! I won't have any of these problems at the minute though! The river I fish hardly has any water in it! We need rain. Lots of it! Who'd think the UK needs more rain?! Happy fishing John.
Buen día. Para chile algún video en español
What is that red head you are throwing?
"if you lever the rod like this..." I think he then holds rt hand stationary and levers rod with left hand moving back sending tip forward.. as opposed to both hands moving rt hand forward and DOWN with left hand moving back levering action.. I think this is what he meant.. explain what "..like this.." means..
what is that bloody red shooting line? I like the color
That is 44lb RIO Slick Shooter. It's a monofilament running line and it's only red in the 44lb. Check it out here - www.ashlandflyshop.com/products/rio-33
Ashland FlyShop I have problem with mono line - shooting head's rear end collapses under it's own weight in the end of flight, which returns in ugly presentation. With coated running line I don't have this problem, it works as support for keeping loop in shape during the flight.
Nee geen info van diverse personen.
Get to the point man!!
