Flawless instruction of basic casts! And I still learned a lot of it. I've never seen them so clearly explained! A must see for every flyfisherman... Keep up the magnificent work!
You're a treasure for the fly fishing and fly casting community around the globe, Simon! What a great video 👍 cannot wait to put your tuition to use next time I'm back on the river.
On the roll cast that last tip is to have your roll cast parallel to the line on the water. If the current has pulled the line behind you and you’re trying to cast back upstream how do you set up your line in front of you before making the cast? Is the roll cast only an option on still water? Thanks for the clarification.
Simply, you move the line on the water from where the current has pulled it, and lined it up with where you want to go - creating a track pointing in the direction of where you want that forward cast to go. You then finish with a roll cast. Sounds complicated, but is actually quite easy. This additional move turns the roll cast into a single handed Spey cast.

Question; I practice casting on the weekends at a school yard. There is a large paved area with basketball lines I use as targets. I have worked on the side cast and noticed I get knots in the leader. Why is this?
We asked Simon your question. He said that It sounds like you have an uneven acceleration, that is the most common cause of wind knots - whether on an overhead cast or a side cast. Keep the casting stroke smooth. Hope that helps...
Thank you Simon.
Thanks for this one. Something you practice and aspire to
