What a BADDIE
oxley102on 26 Dec 2009 at 3:23 pm 10the initial instruction is poor forget this film get someone that can cast and get on a lawn before attempting the water just tie a small piece of wool to the leader he has left a lot of info out
nathbf2142on 26 Dec 2009 at 4:13 pm 11you are crap! put bluntly…your no expert orvis trained means nothing mate, sorry.
g3300pornoon 26 Dec 2009 at 4:28 pm 12You don’t really need to see that much of the video, you just need to listen, and see his arm and hand move, and that’s possible.
darkmossie633on 26 Dec 2009 at 4:31 pm 13i agree with locked wrist (like tennis), and not letting wrist go behind vertical too much, as he said regarding snagging
behind you
- but keeping your arm tight to your chest ( rules out shoulder power) will limit casting distance and be a bit uncomfortable after a while-
but no-one has identical casting actions, all have their own style which works for them
I think comments are a bit harsh, as I think there are a couple of good tips there for beginners before they get into bad habits
dandelion72on 26 Dec 2009 at 4:50 pm 14you should manage your own wrist.
1DuckWonderon 26 Dec 2009 at 5:25 pm 15This is more of a video to cast LIKE a beginner instead of learning to cast. Orvis certified is the biggest joke in fishing., but so is the quality of “information” from ehow . Ehow is spam that clutters up the internet making it harder to find the quality sites.
Do the world a favor and never ever click on any link on an ehow or villiageIdiot …. errrr I mean expertvillage web page.
tight lines!
cachibache777on 26 Dec 2009 at 6:13 pm 16I’ve watched him cast in other videos here and have to agree with other people that he’s not someone from whom you want to learn proper fly casting techniques. The advice is sound but the execution is rather lacking. No offense.
maxbennikeon 26 Dec 2009 at 6:50 pm 17that is wrong cast techniuqe , try out “henrik mortensen” one of the best fly fishers in the world, to be honest its waste of time watcing and listen to this guy
Elin48on 26 Dec 2009 at 7:39 pm 18You cast faster because you are more experienced…he’s teaching us who do not have the knack yet.
rkb12222on 26 Dec 2009 at 7:48 pm 19this is horrible video quality
