As a CCI, I only needed to see about a minute of this vid to know this is a good one.
Simple. Very good!👏🏼
Really love all your videos, Capt. Chris. After seeing this one for the first time a couple days ago, I immediately went out and was very focused on flicking that backcast up over the wall. Noticed an improvement immediately. Really great video and something to be mindful of. As a side note, regardless of video topic, we could all learn something from your roll casts that you casually display in each video. One of my favorite parts about tuning in. Each one is always beautiful.
Thanks for watching. Glad it helped out
I appreciate the time you spent teaching my wife and I. We hit the San Juan Saturday and really noticed an improvement!
It was very much worth it! Thanks again!
Nice meeting you both. Glad to hear the lesson helped out.
Brilliant. Best imagery for casting I've come across. Wish I could have seen this 30 years ago.
Thanks
Glad I found your channel, the clearest, easiest to follow tutorials I have seen. Will take these to a practice tomorrow. Hope one day to make a trip with you. Great job!
Glad it was helpful!
@@CaptChrisMyers I wanted to give you a follow up., and a big Thanks!
Your accuracy tip to keep the cast high so that when the fly is coming down to the water you can place the fly exactly where you aim, instead of having it float above the water and fall into the intended target was a game changer for me today . Not only is the cast more accurate but it is easier and more consistent. Great tip!
I see my cast at about 12:20. Thanks for such a clear explanation and how I can improve. Will be fishing tomorrow and will put your remedy into practice. Thanks.
How did it work out?
@@CaptChrisMyers A great deal better than I had expected. Still have to iron out a few problems: taking a video of my casting will help & will do so on my next trip.
Thanks.
Captain, really nice video, wonderful analogies, good review for the upcoming fishing season
Thanks
great job pro! simple analogies. I enjoy all your videos ill be reaching out soon. all the best
Thanks
I just got my first fly setup, nothing crazy $40 combo lol, thank you so much for these tutorials I got my first LM bass on a fly today
Nice going.
Excellent video. Great readily understandable explanation. I suggest adding a few close up segments annotated with graphic lines and graphic pointers. Also please show segments from the rear. All things your videos are awesome in explaining something that is rather complex and easy to screw up. Fly fishing is much more enjoyable with proper casting technique. Thank you!
Captain ,thank you so much for the Nice vedio ,very good review ,i enjoy your vedios you are the Best fly casting teacher 👍🙏🤙👏
Thanks. Glad they help.
Great video as usual! One question, does that flip at the end of the back cast involve breaking the wrist somewhat? Keep them coming, thanks.
The flip is all wrist. There is a pulling phase, the hand and arm stop and the wrist finishes with the flip. Check out this video for more details - ruclips.net/video/Fdr4NWMraUE/видео.html
@@CaptChrisMyers Thanks for the quick reply. I will be checking that video soon. Thanks again.
I seem to have trouble with trailing loops. I understand why, but never seem to be able to correct it.
I live in Lake Nona (Laureate Park) Where do you teach your classes?
Thanks and keep up the great work 👍
My lessons are up in Wekiva/Longwood. I can definitely help you with correcting that issue.
Hi, yes. I think you’re a great teacher. I probably need a different rod before I start taking lessons. My rod is way beyond my skill level. It was being discontinued and I was able to get a deal on it about 20 years .Didn’t realize how fast it is until I started using it. It’s a Winston XTR. Beautiful rod, but very fast. Probably more like xtra fast.
If you plan on taking a lesson, I would not recommend buying anything new until after. I have never cast a rod I thought was too fast. Many that were too soft for my liking though. I would make sure it is not some simple casting mechanics. If you are getting tailing loops with a fast rod, it would be even worse with a softer rod.
I understand your emphasis on a straight line for your casts. My understanding is that you are referring to an up/down straight line.
But what about left/right? I find myself unconsciously aiming towards the middle of my sight line which gives me a right to left diagonal cast. I’m thinking this is inefficient…should I instead be aiming at 1 o’clock to keep the left/right line straight?
My apologies if I’m asking for free advice when I should be paying…
Thanks so much!
Not sure I understand your question or description. Think of locking your tip into a straight track as it goes back and forth. You can position that track wherever you want, overhead, 3/4, sidearm, etc. You also refrain from twisting your wrist even if the tip was staying in "the track".
