How can you cast a fly fishing rod?

by Jessica Jackson on Jan 15, 2020 Aviation 689 Views

Casting a fly line is different from spin casting or casting a lure, something most everybody is familiar with. Someone new to fly casting may bring with them some of the habits they have from spin casting. In casting a fly, it is actually the line that you are casting. Here is the way I do it. (I first practiced at a park). You take some line off the reel and let it sit near your feet. Start with a back cast but stop the fly fishing rod just past your head(If you head is 12 o’clock, you will move your rod between arc of 10 and 2. What this does as you line moves behind you is “load” the rod, i.e. the line bends the rod back and then as you cast forward, then rod accelerates forward. You can then lay the line down on the water(grass) or you can “false” cast and repeat the sequence remembering the 10 and 2 rule. Of course, when you are ready to put the line down, you will end your cast with the rod parallel to the water. Here are some tips I try and remember.

Watch you fly line as you cast it, even when it goes behind you.

Don’t start your back cast with slack in the line. All the energy is wasted in picking up the line.

Also, get a book with pictures, or better yet take a lesson . You will probably only need one or two to get the hang of it.

Have fun. Keep those lines tight.
