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

Thank you very very much ,this is the best fly casting lesson i ever have after 40 years of practice
Interesting concepts! I look forward to trying some of this out
Very informative , thank you sir.
Great video. Does the finger work for larger tarpon rods like an 11 or 12 weight?
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.
5:10 grip 7:03 trajectory 7:46 the pick up
Great video to understand how to fish the fly. Looks like the drum liked it.
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 😎😂
Where are you in SWFL and do you do classes here? Im in Clearwater and i want to get better!
I’m in Fort Myers. Email me at joemahler@gmail.com and we’ll make it happen!
This is a very new and somewhat refreshing approach... thank you so much. I can't believe how effortless your casts are... very impressive... (question, are you using a 9 ft or 10 ft rod for the demo ? Not a criticism, just an inquiry... again, very impressive... can't wait to practice all this).
@@davidlach2471 9’ length, 6 weight.
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 have never heard anyone say that most of my power is on the back cast, not the front cast. Eye opening to be sure. Being 71 and new to the sport, I’m a sponge. Thank you, Wes
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,
Just getting started fly fishing and this video was extremely helpful. Thanks for sharing your expertise!
Nice presentation
Awesome video im learning a lot getting ready for next trout season down here in the Patagonia is gonna be good good video and good teacher thanks
Stellar
What a great trick, going to work fine on my new Hobie Lynx kayak!
Man I been picking up the line wrong this whole time. No wonder I suck at casting. Lol
Joe, you are amazing!
Same technique when spey fishing.
The easiest and most well spent 40 mins ive used on cast instruction and tips! World class! Ive been fly fishing/casting for 45 yrs.
indoor air conditioned windless fly casting 😂
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 😢
The principle that Joe teaches are valid everywhere and also in every wind condition
@@dariomanfroi9447 the best way to teach something is to demonstrate it instead of talking about it. lots of people on youtube just talk. in theory everybody knows that loop size must be kept small and speed and what's not. it's just few people that can actually demonstrate it.
@@dariomanfroi9447 Everybody is already aware of those principles. Show it to me or get lost.
@@stevoreno6266 obviously it is easier in a windless facility, but I am located in Southwest Florida, and I can assure you that we get plenty of wind and we learn to deal with it.
Casting should be efficient and you just game a great way to cast with the last effort.
Ha! Ha! Great!
This was great. In my 50s now and having to adopt the finger pointing v grip, rather than thumb on top, due to arthritis my thumbs. It definitely helps and is good for distance as well.
Fantastic teaching video. Thanks Joe.
Thank you for uploading this Joe, it’s helped me tremendously
I've been doing this for 50 years. I have never owned a stripping basket.
Thanks. That is a great idea and I will be working on this technique.
hummm. wife said no more fly rods? or is it a supply chain issue? Love your shows
Joe, this is one of the best cast that I have seen in my life. I am trying to learn it 😊
This is what I do on my Kayak have now for a few years!
Could you break down what you are doing? I’d love to try it myself. I really like the unorthodox approaches to “traditional” things.
After a simultaneous separation and dislocation, and two major repair surgeries, my right shoulder is so bad I can barely throw a ball overhand 30 ft. I taught myself this casting method in order to continue fly fishing bass. Thanks for the validation. I double haul virtually anything over 15'.
very helpful...thx !
Thank you. I really like your teaching. You mentioned you were going to put up a video dealing with fly casting with weight on the end. Did that ever happen? I'd love to see it. Having trouble with it now in my casting.
Gotta love Joe Mahler! Greetings from WI.
Joe, thanks for this tutorial. Can’t wait to try it out.
Same here! It's so simple and ingenious!!! Thank you so much Joe M. :)
Boy, I can't wait for the snow to melt so I can try this out. The tangled loops hitting the stripping guide sure looked familiar!
Very nice Joe
Josh looks younger in this video... ho wait the video is 5 years old 🤣
Joe, this was a great way to remember a friend, thank you for sharing this story, I didn't have the opportunity to meet Dennis, but through this story I feel like I know him too now. It has been a beautiful detail of friendship on your part.
You are unstoppable, now your casing without a rod 😃
Nice man! I’ve always wanted a little Jon boat might get one next year
Helped me tremendously! I am a hard learner and Joe really helped me out. The Reilly Rod didn't hurt either. I will get one soon.
Best instructor 😊
Just spent two hours with Joe today and I have to say, he is a master. Wow, could not believe how much I learned today. Highly recommended.
Very nice Joe.
Best fly casting instructional video on UA-cam. Seriously Joe, you make it look effortless!
