This is wonderful. I’m a beginner, heading to Alaska for some Rainbows in August. Hoping not to be a lost cause… What weight would be recommended for some large Rainbows? I may be watching this several times before the trip!

Tim, you’ve helped me so much already just by watching these videos. Thanks man!

@tightlinesflyshop
Yeah, that’s probably saved me from looking a bit silly!
I’ll look into the casting techniques you mentioned and thank you for taking the time to reply.

Unfortunately the techniques are different. A true two-handed rod is designed to actually spey cast or skagit cast with and not ideally suited for overhand casting. Hope that helps.

This was very helpful. . .thank you.

This was very helpful. .
Thank you so much.

Can the techniques shown in this video be used with a two-handed fly rod the same as on a single-handed rod, or are different skills required?

I started fly fishing in Ireland 2 months ago with this tutorial. Today I caught my first fish, a 4lb wild rainbow trout. THANK YOU SO MUCH, THIS HELPED SO MUCH. (The trout tasted gorgeous too)

I just wanted to say that I’ve been struggling to figure out fly casting after reading a few highly rated books on the subject. A few minutes watching the first two videos here and it clicked – thanks a lot!

I have been fishing regularly for about a decade now. I’ve used mainly spin-casting gear but have always been intrigued by fly fishing. It seems like such an art. Needless to say, I received my first fly outfit, and have been practicing casting in my yard. I purchased an instructional dvd on fly casting, but nothing compares to these videos. Thank you.

Im trying to teach my 13 year old daughter to cast and these videos have been extremely helpful. Thank you very much.

Tim,
When trying to shoot line at the end of the front cast, do you start to let the line go when the loop is all out, or can you start to let the line out before then. I’m having trouble with the line shooting out at any distance. Love the videos and they have helped greatly.

Wonderful series of videos, I am VERY new to the art of fly fishing, I have learned so much from these 3 videos…
July 27th, 2010 at 4:09 pm
Recommended by a friend before starting out as opposed to learning from guys with bad habits. Very clearly demonstrated in stages. Can’t wait to add fly casting to my salt water arsenal.

July 27th, 2010 at 6:32 pm
Very good video Tim. Maybe you can a video explaining the draging of the line in the back cast (to gain more distance if i understand the meaning of it). Regards from Sweden!
