Thanks for the vid’s Boonie. Bought my first fly rod today, gave it a shot.. I caught a pretty big tree branch.
I couldn’t figure out how to find my rhythm. Only way I could get the distance or shoot line was with the whipping, spooking method. Was just happy to be out there trying though. I’ve only watched the first four lessons and I already feel like I could start catching fish and look like a legit fly fisher. Thanks for the scientific approach towards fly fishing.
thats my problem to if you find it out give me a pm tahnks.
i just got a nice fly rod handed down to me from my dad and im kinda starting to get it but im still confused, i can get the fly out but not that far, well i have alot of trees to watch out for, im gonna be salt water fly fishing, and tips?
hey that works too! tight lines
lol, i was going to use yarn before i used the sinker but decided against it.. eh, now i just go to the river and hope i get lucky and dont hit myself and or the trees.
haha take a piece of light monofilament line about eight feet long and tie a two inch piece of glo bug yarn on the end. Now try it
…i was testing this in my backyard before I ever went to a river(just using a sinker instead of an actual fly) lol dunno what was going on but the result was me getting hit in the face with a small piece of metal!
Just get out and fish. There are usually some good regional magazines to help you decide good times/fly selection. I started out by asking around at the local fly shops and striking up conversations with other fisherman on the river. If you are polite and honest about your abilities you will be amazed how willing people are to pass along some knowledge. Good luck and tight loops.
Hey Dude…I’ve been fly fishing for about 3 years now. How goes the adventure?
i just bought a fly rod for 10$ at a yard sale. im not sure if its too good, but i suppose its fine to start out with. any seasoned veterans at fly-fishing out there: any tips for a teen who is eagerto learn and hit the river? i appreciate it.

dale and ardeth, my bet would be that your backcast angle is too steep, and/or that you apply force a bit too late. both these things can send your fly to the ground. by applying some decent acceleration to your rod right at the start of your backcast, you’ll give your line some upward momentum that will help. for the angle, look at your rod all the way through till a good one becomes a second nature. curling simply = too little or too much velocity, only practice will help there.
thanks, i had the same problem too
You’re not pausing after your back cast. Start slow, then fling back the rod, pause and watch your fly, then go forward again. Get a rhythm going and you’ll eventually get the line to lay down properly.
the whipping is caused by you not waiting long enough in the back cast so the line does not have time to completely make its turn. The whipping on the water means your accelerating to much and if its making whipping sounds its not having enough time on the back cast. Start slower then go faster. Make sure the loop size is perfect.
This is NOT easey:S
And the line gets curled up when I throw. It does not fall in a straight line
I have the same problem. And the line and fly whips the ground behind me so they both get destroyed after a while
when i do my back cast, the line whips and makes a cracking sound every time i return the line in front of me, help?
where would i get this video i want to see it on my tv. Very informational, but would like to own it
very good video…good work
Is he right handed or left?
brill do you have dvds
are your videos for flyfishing for sale ? perhaps a complete dvd of all these short clips ?
thanks
