General Tips for Fly Casting

  • Always wear protective eye or sunglasses
  • Are you hearing your line snap, or getting weak casts?
    Be sure that you STOP your rod motion at the 2 o'clock and 10 o'clock positions.
    See Casting Basics
  • Pay attention to how the rod feels throughout the cast, you will be able to feel the force in the motion of the rod and line, and be able to understand what a good cast "feels" like.
  • Have patience... learning to cast isn't easy at first, but it does eventually "click".
  • Remember that Timing is the key factor in fly casting, not strength.
