Fly Casting Into the Wind Perfectly Every Time!

[@jjm4643]

Wow! what a great explanation. Totally different from anything else I've seen or heard. The overpowering the final cast is exactly what I do and I end up driving the rod tip down. Really helpful. Thank you Mr Leadon.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching and happy to help!

[@BigDaddyFishingNJ]

The most concise demonstration I have ever seen! Excellence in motion!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching and stay tuned.....much more to come with Shawn.

[@jjm4643]

yeah, definitely

[@edwardmlotkiewicz2343]

Thanks, Shawn, for the casting treatise and thanks to MRO for providing the video. I will definitely be practicing this.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching.

[@petedufault8047]

Thanks Shawn for a clear concise explanation with a great example of how to do it right!

Fly fishing here in Texas means dealing with the wind. I think he hits the nail on the head. Early on, I tried to power my way through casting. I have since learned to let the rod and line do the work. One of my tricks is to shorten the casting stroke by placing my index finger on top of the grip. This forces me to shorten it up. Great presentation!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching! Stay tuned for an episode where he talks about the importance of thumb on top of the grip though.....

[@gervincutler3965]

Super good tip! I'm gonna give that a try.

[@RemedyElixir]

That "swooshing sound" is Nike patent infringement, so watch out everybody! /s

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Good point. Better casting and less legal issues to boot!

[@gervincutler3965]

Love AIB Fishing club. Fished there back in 94' with Rupert L. My casting was sub-par and had trouble casting with and against the wind. Only caught two fish that day but had a wonderful experience. I had Rupert take my rod and show me how to cast with the wind. I have video of him casting over 100ft of line including some backing!! It's awesome to watch. He was the best! Funny, Shawn looks just like his dad back in 1994. Thanks Brian and Shawn.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

@@gervincutler3965 Thanks for being here!

[@RodtipCali]

Excellent instruction by Shawn will start paying attention and practicing the technique now!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching and stay tuned......you'll be seeing alot of Shawn!

[@smctrout4423]

I'll bet you get to deduct that Andros trip on your taxes. That is just not fair. :-)

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Well….it’s a part of how we make a living! Brian was hosting a group of 10 clients.

[@jennym.9099]

When Shaun said to keep it at eye level, it just all came together. Thank you!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Happy to help and thanks for watching!

[@wingman8447]

Shawn is awesome. I can only dream about fishing there

[@Madriveroutfitters]

He most certainly is....and......we can help with that dream!

[@gervincutler3965]

Take some time spend some money it's well worth the experience!

[@paterpeter1985]

Also Watch how steady the rest of his body is. I have a lot to learn

[@Madriveroutfitters]

He's a master!

[@sc100ott]

You’re all bundled up! Are you cold? I thought the Bahamas were in the tropics! It’s 70° in Michigan today.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

It was a cold trip by Bahamas standards…..yes.

[@TheHgDDS]

I fished with Shawn about 20 years ago. A cold front went through. He had on a down jacket and a ski cap. Funniest thing. @@Madriveroutfitters

[@jonathanstahnke5375]

The "pull...push..." helped me a ton! That made sense to my brain and really works!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Happy to help and thanks for watching.

[@andrewwebster13]

3:04 When the line energy bumps the rod. He could have sent that to the moon if he wanted.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

He’s an amazing caster and instructor! He can also find bonefish as well as anyone alive!

[@africanwidow]

🌞 Fly fishing Andros is soooo heavenly. Nice instruction!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

We agree! Thanks for being here.

[@nerdskiii]

Can you do a video on Stripping Baskets and the various options?

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Please send Brian an email with your request and he’ll get right back to you. Thanks!

[@SurfSkagit]

Maybe it’s me 🤔
Looks like he is stopping, but he is moving his dominant hand slightly back olmos simultaneously with the stop, like a move we might use if we want to create a mend
Interesting, thank you for the time and sharing!!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

@@SurfSkagit Thanks for watching.

[@alexanderf4152]

Thank you Both for these Great tips!!!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching.

[@mikegreen5619]

Wish I had seen this lesson years ago. I've been bad casting for 30 years and wondering why the cast collapses after nice false casts. Stop the rod tip at eye level. Then let it drift back just a little after the back stop.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching and happy to help. Be sure to check out our full playlist of fly casting videos.

[@thatonebeone]

i hope theres a bonefish video of this place coming soon 😁 looks like a nice place

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Many coming your way! Stay tuned!

[@tranger4579]

This is what brought me to fly fishing from conventional saltwater fishing. Its artistry.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Agreed! Thanks for being here.

[@4492573]

Key position and power stop position, straight rod path = tight loops. So simple but allot of people struggle with that one.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching.

[@athanasiossclavos2760]

You ever noticed how they make these videos when there’s no wind. Make this video with a 20 mph head wind in the surf

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Plenty of casting videos on this channel in the wind....so no, sorry, we didn't notice.

[@paigeloomis]

Gotta remember that eye level finish for next time I’m in Honduras!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching.

0:25 i've always wondered what Brian without a hat looked like

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Rarely happens right? Surprised his wig didn’t fly off! 😉

Y'all know what's really great?
A fisherman that is intelligent.
This fella is DEFINITLY in his element, in control of his world.
Excellent!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

He certainly is! Thanks for being here.

[@billrichardson8841]

Thank you. I was fishing in Otago, New Zealand a month ago and gave up because of the wind. Will definitely go out in the wind now to get this right.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching. We have a few others in this series on dealing with the wind as well.

[@springteen3743]

It would had been nicer for more tips but grateful never the less, that guy seems very knowledgeable.

We have a few videos here on RUclips about the Tuna. Brian says that’s the main reason he goes to AIBC.
