Lets take a look at the world champion master caster Ola Spång performing the overhead distance cast! If you want to contact me or Ola: ken@flugor.se www.flugor.se
*Overall **enjoyable.fishing** recommend I feel the Shadowfire 360 offers excellent value for those who are new to tenkara and don't want to break the bank on their first rod purchase.*
I’ve been obsessed with and dreamt of fly fishing for 40 years. Never lived anywhere near places that you could until now. How anyone can not see the magic in it is beyond me. It may be the one sport / hobby that has it all. Skill, challenge , complicated, depth , cool gear , rewarding , healthy for mind and body , relaxing , I can go on.
good common sense to keep us new to fly fishing focused on practicing to get better ourselves, and focus on how it is suppose to be done. Thank you for the demonstration on how to long cast and short cast, very appreciated!
Thank you. Practice makes fly fishing so much more fun. To be able to put the fly where you want and the way you want gives satisfaction in it self. That you catch more fish is a bonus.
Quite right if you have a good technique then you can really hit good Distances with standard gear no problem what so ever, it just takes that little bit extra practise now and again certainly goes along way.
Got a subscribe out of me. Just getting started and looking at the tutorial videos whenever I can. Absolutely love the quality of the video and the stance that you dont have to spend alot to still get good results.
Good, straightforward, no nonsense stuff. Accuracy and distance casting are incredibly valuable assets in flyfishing. Amazing how many flyfishermen, supposedly in the know, don’t believe good distance is an advantage. I’ll take any advantage I can in our multi skilled sport.
I prefer jijjing, no fishing rods, no reels, just a long thick line wrapped around some wood with a massive hook on the end. I can sit in a boat all day doing that, and it's great for building upper arm strength when you're pulling in a couple pound fish and 200 feet of line.
Thanks, great video. Please let me know if that castle goes up for sale. I've always wanted a trout stream in my backyard. I assume Swedish castles can be bought by foreigners, on credit...
Dont think one of the royal castles ever can be bought, they are all State property :) :D :D But its sure a neat place! :D en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Str%C3%B6msholm_Palace
yourre totally right. I hear that you don't need to do so many false cast and you don't need to cast far at all. but to me flyfishing is the art of casting its orchestrating a beautiful loops in your cast. and I'm happy to sling a line as far as achievable, not just to plop a fly 9 metres away
Good video with HONEST no bullshit explanation. Practice makes perfect, for me rods made 25 years ago are as capable as many new products, as for fly reels, they are simply ridiculous and mainly over priced for what they have to do.
Tnx Mate! I sure do appreciate your kind comment! :) Everybody wants to cast longer and better, yet nobody seems to want to put even the minimum of time in practice it :D It´s so weird , isn´t it?
@@sameochannel7637 Hi , yes it is silly that people will spend huge amounts on gear and avoid learning how to use. Training/ practice develop skills that enable people to get the potential from their equipment. We have a saying, "all the gear, but no idea!" But I guess we all start from somewhere and learn this or worst of all just give up! I started fly fishing 30 years ago, and still practice casting off the water before the season starts!
@@sameochannel7637 I don't really understand why people don't practise their fly casting... Most other sports, such as Golf etc, and people put hours and hours of practise in... But many fly fisherman treat people who cast well as though they are showing off or something.
@@conslin1147 Agree fully!...it is remarkable....tell them the Lie that a line or rod makes them cast a meter longer and they all throw money at you :) , But tell them the truth aboutpractising the fundamentals of the fly cast and they cant be bothered :D
Nice job, great explanation, I heard a story of a guy in New Brunswick, (Atlantic Salmon fishing) With a fiberglass rod Fenwick American made, beating the pants of everyone using 5th generation graphite and boron rods, Equipment Helps but practice / experience will win the contest. Ted William's baseball fame was one of the guys who couldn't beat the glass rod Native.
Distance is key. especially in saltwater if you see a tailing red pretty far in front of you and you know you can cast far you have higher chance of catching him and not spooking him sneaking up on him
I like your no bull approach we're normally told we need the latest super duper high tech rods. Can you offer any tips on improving tracking? Cheers Al
Pick a target in the distance in front of you and follow a straight line to a target in the distance behind you. Its what many competitive distance casters do....
Great presentation clip, thank you for sharing👌. I think, still won’t solve the long line distance control for me. Please let me know if my next conclusion makes any sense. Lever is the foundation of how the entire system will work. But no many instructors mention this fact. Every single caster grip and movement on the tool is link to a lever to start the correct function by following 100% the right casting principles you also point on the clip. Few casters can manage longer line casting with a single hand fly rod (lever 3 tool), because he/she personal body structure characteristics, to mention a few, like the strength on muscles and tendons on the casting arm, this characteristics also varied, as well as vary reaching the point of fatigue over such a poor lever tool to do such a demanding exercise, if principles are off just few degrees on each stroke during the long distance exercise the burning sensations will show the reality factor that such a light casting tool can burn so much. Agree about the extra time training, practice, but also to the “natural “ individual ability to master the timing in eyes /hand coordination better than the next caster to reach the goal. Basically long casting distance with a lever 3 tool it’s not for everyone.The market is there, just to show us 50% of the picture on videos like this...YOU CAN DO IT just watch!!! The other 50% is on us. Again, thank you for sharing!! Best Mag
I can cast my whole 65 ft spool of fly backing with a 51$ fly combo. A cortland FairPlay which can definitely tell is cheap. With homemade flies I tied with sewing thread and stripped phone charger copper wire. I thought it was just user error and getting better.
When Ola is casting stoke / arc is long does he still have a block stop on his back cast than drift or doses the style change to the 170 stop less cast ? What drills would you recommend for long back cast practice. Enjoyed the video and thanks for sharing.
Hi! Thats some really interesting questions! Since we made this video, me and Ola been working on a new way to teach the casts...we call i " the red line behind all casts" we try to skip all these ways to teach cast front/back cast to just say: their all the same. its not front back. Try a parallell stance on the side and you will have many MORE options :) You can in this way cast with longer stroke, better control (you can see the line all the time) So this will get you better timing and acceleration..its just left/right cast..or backhand forehand if you prefer...as long as you keep the rod path straight ALL the time you will get a effective cast...I will try to do a video in English this spring :) But basicly: SKIP the backcast, just practice it on the side...longer and longer carry...and when shooting aim 45° upwards and rotate your body as a javelin caster or a punch from a boxer :) look at this one I think you understand it even thou its in Swedish (this is me practicing line control and carry, as well as shooting control :) ruclips.net/video/v9j5YOAyQQs/видео.html
Thank you :) Makes me glad to be at help! The side stance is REALLY effective in getting straight line paths and also your double haul gets way better faster :) Best of luck!!
Oh, he´s still here :D It´s me and Patrik that owns Sameo :) He is a bit camera shy, but we work together side by side as usual, :) its been for 20 years now with Sameo :)

Ole Ola....thank you! As I sit here inside v. the corona virus I enjoyed your video, unicorn farts and all!
lol

Ola's casting is just beautiful, it makes me want to practice more and then go fishing.

Excellent video and explanations !... Thanks a lot for sharing it !
This is the right information I was looking for to become a better fly caster,thank you very much,now I shall practice to achieve it
Instant sub, excellent presentation and no BS

A tip : you can watch movies on flixzone. Been using them for watching lots of of movies lately.
@Westley Philip yup, have been watching on Flixzone} for months myself =)
Distance is important in permit fishing👍
I like your no bull approach we're normally told we need the latest super duper high tech rods.
Can you offer any tips on improving tracking?

As Archimedes said ´Give me a long enough lever and my tracking goes to shit´.
@SurfSkagit Whatever medication you're on, I think you need to check the dosage.
Brilliant ☘️☘️☘️

Thanks again , the left to right is a fresh idea and I am going to try it as a drill . You guys are inspiring.

Like✌️✌️✌️ Casting👍👍👍👍
As we have a saying in Bosnia, the war is not fought with shiny weapons, but with the heart of the hero.
So true! Have a great season ED! Bistro!
Yes fish is catched by fisherman not the equipment. Therefore you can use your great grandfathers equipment. Just blow away the dust on it first..
Where is the MR. Patrick? We used to make fishing rod for you brand.
Oh, he´s still here :D It´s me and Patrik that owns Sameo :) He is a bit camera shy, but we work together side by side as usual, :) its been for 20 years now with Sameo :)
