I have been fly fishing since I was 13 years old and went missing from the scene for about a year and a half and im just now starting back, this video is so helpful, you seem so humble and respectful and I appreciate that
Im so amped right now ! I watched about 5-8 videos on here and still couldn't get a good cast. Just now I understood your instructions so well I decided to go outside my house in the dark and give it a shot. BOOM ! I was launching the fly a long ways. However I did break off and lose my fly because it got stuck in the pavement lmao. Oh well, still a great success. Leader got a little nicked up on the pavement as well. Totally worth this lesson of yours since it was a free video. Thanks TA
Great casting tuition video, 6 years old and still really helpful. I had a lesson a couple of weeks back and have had a couple of goes in the field since. Have my first solo fly session booked this evening! One thing I've noticed, coming from coarse fishing is that I'm used to following the hook with the rod tip and that kills a fly cast stone dead. Keep the tip pointing above the horizon and the lines shoots much easier!
This has got to be the best instructional video on fly casting on RUclips right now!! I'm sure this will now help me 100% in my casting as a newcomer to fly fishing. Thanks for sharing👍👍
A brilliant instructional video on how to cast a fly correctly. I'm just taking fly fishing up again after many years of not doing it and I found it very useful...thanks !!
As a midlife newbie, I have to say your video has been a pleasure to watch and I have learned more from this than the other confusing by others. Great teacher!
Great video! Thank you so much, by far one of the simplest and most reassuring videos on how to cast. I can't wait for the snow to melt and finally be able to get out on the water.
This is the best tutorial on casting i have ever seen only been fly fishing 6 weeks this sorted me out thank you so much rob you make it looks effortless and we all know it's not awesome casting rob thank you Derek
I see a lot of people saying it and i'll be another, the instructions you're giving are great, i'm only starting fly fishing after years of trout fishing with weights or floats and all the other fishers i know only use weights or floats and the like so fly fishing is something i'm having to pick up on my own but watching this video it's clear to see what my mistakes have been such as moving my wrist and not letting enough line out for the rod to use as a weight, or the whipping sound i make. can't wait to get back out and try it after having watched this, i'm determined to learn it
What a great video, & rob seems to be a great instructor. I've just bought my first fly outfit so just getting to grips with casting. I've got the basics but can see from this video that I need to be more disciplined with my arm movements. Thank you.
This is one of the best and complete fly casting videos I have watched! The slow motion sections are especially helpful! Rob is an engaging and effective instructor!
This was a great instructional video. I have seen many instructors on youtube, being that I've just began fly fishing, but the way you have explained things has made it very clear I have not been instructed thoroughly. Thanks a million Graeme for having Rob on your show.
I watched this video twice the night before my first ever fly fishing trip. Admittedly I was on a commercial pond but managed to hook into several fish, landing two rainbow. I would have done better with face to face tuition(which I can't afford) but, this really helped in getting me going so thank you.
Rob makes it look so easy, will get out on the field and put this into pratice on my newly aquired TAF inspired fly gear. Who takes up fly fishing for the first time at the age of 50 (me)DOH!! I hold you guys responsible for it. ;-)
Have to say this is one of the best casting instructional videos i have seen, good clear and easy to follow steps, nice one Rob and Totally Awesome Fishing.
I just bought a Martin kit yesterday to get started... it's been 1 and a half years since I learned to fly fish... and one and a half years since I've done it! I can't figure it out by the booklet and this video is helping a TON.
With most of the bait competitions over with for a while at my club its time i learn to pick up a fly rod agaim after 4 years will defos take these tips into account
I really like your video. I'm a beginner and want to get my kids into fly fishing but don't know how to teach them. You have helped a lot! Thank you, from Kansas, USA
just been watching how to cast your fly line I have been fly fly fishing for about 20 years by watching this video it has help me straighten out some of the bad habits I have picked up over the years thanks
Great video! I have tried fly fishing before and I did okay but not great. I had looked at other videos and SORT OF got the hang of it. This video explained it soooo much better and I can't wait to try it again!
Been fly fishing for many years but dont go that often, so my casting is always suspect. Your video has really helped - especially your references to coarse fishing, which I grew up on- thanks!
Pleased it helped you. Its a bit like riding a bike,the more you do the easier it gets. Mind you Rob is a good instructor and that makes a huge difference.
Fantastic instruction, I'm a total beginner, like Rob I'm a accomplished course angler, but this video is great, i have an 9' Airflo full fly kit bought from Amazon UK for under £50 you don't need to spend mega bucks, well not yet anyway..!!
Thank u for advise Rob I'll try that I guess this is crazy what I going say but I can take cut fly off fly line leave leader on fly line make beautiful cast just as straight as they can be with the tight loops as far as 60 feet put fly back on it all changes get the left hand turns man I would love to cast my fly that good I love fly fishing Rob been using regular gear like baitcasters spinning reels all my life catch a lot of fish over the yrs I truly would love to do same with fly rod I don't have the high dollar rods and reels in fly fishing I just do what I can but I am not giving up I mean to get good at it make my on flys enjoy so much it is a great sport don't know why more people dont do it wish I started sooner than I did thank u again for advise
you make it look so easy i was out yesterday in wood river and i couldn't get it out more than 20 feet i was getting real pissed and just stopped i think I'm gonna try on dry land next.I had a nine foot leader and a nine foot tippet on
Thanks. All great explained, these small virtual hammer and shelve illustrations really helps :-). Hope to attend your course one day doing the summer. Brgds, Brian
8:02 and 8:09 made me laugh but it's an EXCELLENT method of teaching. A lot of people wouldn't do something like that because it seems "weird" but I think that might actually be helpful to say that to myself when I cast!
I am a fishing lover from Brazil and a inicial learner of fly fishing. Could you please show in your video the detailed and combined movement of the hand, wrist and forearm to casting? I think this is important to avoid excessive use of strenght to launch the line.
Great video,I've just returned to fly fishing after a 20 year break and I'm struggling with my casting. I think I'm thrashing the rod back and forth? I will try using your method next time I get out, hopefully I will start catching again 😁👍
Did a half day begginer session with Rob yesterday and learnt huge amounts. Genuinely nice guy. Thanks Rob
You have a natural ability of calming and explaining things very well.
stingercj7 right? Wasn't expecting him to cure my bad casting AND my anxiety
stingercj7 b bsea
If I wasn't from Scotland n lived closer I'd definitely get involved in 1 of his courses. . He's a brilliant teacher.

Lovely tuition video. Broken down into bitesize chunks. Excellent. Awesome.
Wonderful video...I think you could teach anything to anyone. I wish that I didn't live across the pond. I would look you up. Great Job!
I love how you compare the movements to other activities. Great video and thanks!
I see a lot of people saying it and i'll be another, the instructions you're giving are great, i'm only starting fly fishing after years of trout fishing with weights or floats and all the other fishers i know only use weights or floats and the like so fly fishing is something i'm having to pick up on my own but watching this video it's clear to see what my mistakes have been such as moving my wrist and not letting enough line out for the rod to use as a weight, or the whipping sound i make. can't wait to get back out and try it after having watched this, i'm determined to learn it
Thanks Jason regards Rob rutlandwaterflyfishing
Very informative. Loved the double 20 & hammer the nail sayings to explain don't force it.
I love your vídeo. Everything seems to be very simple but, in practice, they are not that simple. It requires much training. Thank you!
one of the best videos i've watched on fly fishing for beginners. Thanks Rob appreciate it.
What a great video, & rob seems to be a great instructor. I've just bought my first fly outfit so just getting to grips with casting. I've got the basics but can see from this video that I need to be more disciplined with my arm movements. Thank you.

I would have done better with face to face tuition(which I can't afford) but, this really helped in getting me going so thank you.
pleased it helped you get some action,always makes it worthwhile doing a film when someone gets a direct result.
Rob makes it look so easy, will get out on the field and put this into pratice on my newly aquired TAF inspired fly gear. Who takes up fly fishing for the first time at the age of 50 (me)DOH!! I hold you guys responsible for it. ;-)
Good luck :) It's Awesome

Thanks very helpful, I'm looking forward to the start of my fly fishing adventure: ) How do you attach a rubber dog biscuit for carp?
I just bought a Martin kit yesterday to get started... it's been 1 and a half years since I learned to fly fish... and one and a half years since I've done it! I can't figure it out by the booklet and this video is helping a TON.
Thank you and the hammering a nail is just what I needed. It was the perfect analogy and wow what a difference it made on my casting. Thank you!!
With most of the bait competitions over with for a while at my club its time i learn to pick up a fly rod agaim after 4 years will defos take these tips into account

Great instructor, great casts and of coarse, some proper British drum & bass music.
enjoyed your casting lesson. may have to give this a try.
8:02 and 8:09 made me laugh but it's an EXCELLENT method of teaching. A lot of people wouldn't do something like that because it seems "weird" but I think that might actually be helpful to say that to myself when I cast!
great vid........now we need a video on retrieve speeds with different flies.
Incredibly helpful video, thanks so much! Can't wait to start

I am a fishing lover from Brazil and a inicial learner of fly fishing. Could you please show in your video the detailed and combined movement of the hand, wrist and forearm to casting? I think this is important to avoid excessive use of strenght to launch the line.
Perfect video for beginners. Thanks!
Great video,I've just returned to fly fishing after a 20 year break and I'm struggling with my casting. I think I'm thrashing the rod back and forth? I will try using your method next time I get out, hopefully I will start catching again 😁👍
i love the slow motion roll cast u did it beautifully good job!
thanks regards Rob rutlandwaterflyfishing
You are a phenomenal teacher. Its a shame I'm on the other side of the pond from you.
Thank-you very much. I'm now able to cast with perfect loops.
Nicely explained
Pppperfect demo, thanks 😀
Many thanks, just going out to find some space to have a first go.
This video was incredibly helpful to me. Thank You.

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Very easy to watch..top skills mate
Great teaching. I'd come to the UK to learn Fly Fishing from you.
Awesome intro to fly casting, thank you.
