Fly Fish Instruct

Casting long leaders can be challenging. Here are a few tips to help with any frustration.

* Delay Your Rotation (Bending of Your Wrist) - A delayed rotation allows for a longer acceleration phase, it removes the slack line from the cast and gives a deeper, more controlled load/flex of the rod.

* Stop Your Rod - You must stop the rod crisply and completely at the end of each casting stroke on both the forward and back casts.

Pay special attention to accelerating, delaying your rotation and stopping your back cast crisply in an upward direction. Your forward cast will improve dramatically.
