Fly Casting with non-dominant hand
Learning to cast with your non-dominant hand is a valuable skill that you will use frequently, once you develop feel. Here is a simple technique that I learned from Capt. Rey Rodriguez more than ten years ago. Thanks to Capt. Debbie Hanson for filming.

Fly Casting without Rod- Accurate at 65'
Переглядів 3,5 тис.4 роки тому
This is my technique for casting fly line only. This cast was made with a standard 7 wt. floating line at 65 feet. This really has no purpose in fishing, but fun to try. Questions? joe@joemahler.com

    Great video. Does the finger work for larger tarpon rods like an 11 or 12 weight?

    • @joemahler
      @joemahler 2 місяці тому

      It does. I will say that higher weight rods tend to have slightly larger cork grips. With those, I tend to place my index finger slightly to the side, making it more of a “v” or “key” grip.

    Well I've watched a lot of tutorials on flycasting. This one rates pretty highly lots of invaluable information learned. Hopefully i can practice and put some on this into purpose for next season. As a long term fisher, new to fly fishing your technique is stellar and effortless. Thank you very much. 🎣🐟👊 I always admire fly casters who can do this well. Hoping to get it together next season and improve.

    I have been watching a few videos like this mainly because I end up teaching a few people and the teaching style here is very helpful. Its all about technique rather than power my 10yr old grandson casts better than his Dad because he's a natural and works on technique whereas his Dad is strong but relies on the strength only.

    Went away from the index finger after three years as I realized for me at least I also thought I would be more powerful and more accurate. But actually when I forced myself to do some precise shots I could be way more precise AND more powerful. People tend to in the beginning use the index and later on go for the thumb. At least what I saw in US competition fly casters. Don’t know anyone high up that uses index actually? 🤔but I would always tend to try to be flexible and try different approaches from time to time over the years and don’t rule out anything categorically. You might miss out on certain advantages in different fishing situations. Not talking competition but fishing here explicitly now. The more versatile you are the more issues the fish will have with you too 😎😂

    You mentioned that you might use this technique in sticky situations and then said that you would get to that later. Did you mean in a later video? WHOOPS! I found it. 👍🏻 I do love your casting style and philosophies. It reminds me of a golf swing. Too many people over think the swing. You keep your cast simple and natural. Thank you.

      I just got back from the local pond with that one swing thought. (Golfing analogy) Its like someone else was casting my rod. Granted, I may not be sending it out there 70’ but it is an effortless 40’ cast that’s going exactly where I’m looking and if I it did that on the first day, imagine where it will be next month. Thanks again,

      exactly my thoughts. it's funny how most videos "teach" how to cast into the wind in almost windless conditions. all that effortlessness would be gone if there was a wind and a caster stood waist deep in the water. the index finger would be hurt 😢
