  • Learn how to use your wrist when fly fishing and create tight loops. Often times the wrist is used too much and it is easier to have new casters try not to use it at all. In reality, effective casts need some wrist movement to make the cast effective and comfortable. In this video, you will see how and when the wrist is used and its effect on the rod tip and loop shape.

    Thank you for explaining the speed up and stop, wrist movement, and to keep the rod tip UP during the casting stroke. The slow motion section of your video should help anglers understand the importance of a tight loop.

    I have a library of fly-casting books and have looked at so many videos - this is the best video on fly casting I've ever seen. Thanks!

    This video, especially the slow-motion close-up at the end, is excellent. Extremely helpful!

    I am working my way through your videos. This is very helpful. The explanation along with the demonstration in the video makes it clear, almost like I was there taking a lesson. I plan on taking this out the the pond tomorrow.
    I think you are spot on about us (me) taking my wrist too far back on the backcast. I'll follow your suggestions and see what happens. Thanks!

      That is the number 1 casting issue I see in almost everyone I work with.

    Wonderful, Chris, I will now try to use my wrist slightly more, as you instructed. Your videos are easy to follow, and are sure to improve my casting. Thanks

    Great stuff Chris. You have the most complete instructions on RUclips. I'm going tomorrow for my first time for redfish in Galveston. Thank you

    Thanks for breaking apart your rod to show the straight line path of the tip. I think I finally can see what the hand is supposed to do to keep the tip straight.

    The closeup, slow motion analysis will really be helpful to try to copy and pantomime the stroke. Thank you!

    How long is the line past the rod tip. Very instructive.

      In the video, I am only using about 30ft of fly line plus a leader. Otherwise I have to get too far away from the camera to see both front and back casts. The same technique applies to all my cast lengths.

    It looks like in slow motion you have a fly on your tippet? Does it get hung up in the grass? Or do you have something special?

    • @CaptChrisMyers

      You should always tie somethin on the end for best results. I am using yarn.

      No it is an old TFO model they made in yellow for instructors.
