Fly Casting - Why Won't My Leader Straighten??!!
The leader not straightening when presenting the fly is a big problem for a lot of fly casters. There can be many reasons for a fly leader to not straightening, and here I explore a few of them, and offer solutions. Once you learn how to land it straight you can re-learn how to land it in a pile to deliberately introduce slack.

This is an evolution of what has become known as the Belgian, or Oval cast. It's one of the more important of the fundamental casts to have in your repertoire, especially if you like to cast big flies and heavy flies - but it's also a GREAT cast for windy days, or for when you're using a team of flies such as a 2 nymph indicator rig, a dry dropper, or a 2-3 fly Loch style rig.

  • @TheEzzieboy
    @TheEzzieboy 12 днів тому

    In fly casting, as in most technical endeavors, it is really easy to OVERTHINK it. I thought the points about the leader itself were important to mention. The incorrect leader length and diameter for the type of fishing you are doing is probably the most common error, and the most correctable. Also, making sure your fly LINE is properly matched to the rod is a great place to start. I have found that in helping someone "fix" their cast, these initial things should not be overlooked. I've even taken the rod from a "student" who swore he had the proper weight line for the rod. It turned out that, yes, he had the right WF line, but he somehow had put it on BACKWARDS. (hard to do, unless you are transferring a line from one reel to another). My point is, fix the fixable before looking at mechanics.

    • @petermorse5442
      @petermorse5442 12 днів тому

      Yes, there are always factors we can change before we get to casting. Always has been my approach to teaching.

  • @chrish3030
    @chrish3030 12 днів тому

    Can I ask if you fish with the rod that you use to teach, if not, why? Also is it true that someone’s casting ‘style’ is better suited to certain types of rod ?

    • @petermorse5442
      @petermorse5442 12 днів тому

      Its a rod built on a Sage blank that I've had for about 15 years. Its has no line weight designation on it so it can be a stiffer rod with a #4 line or a bendier rod with an #8 line. Its been in the hands of a few thousand casters, has made a million casts, and its on its second set of guides but has never caught a fish or even been fishing - I have plenty of fishing rods and this one is probably a but flashy. All I know about rods is find a rod and line combination that suits the fishing you want to do and learn how to cast. Being able to adjust for all set-ups is ultimately where all great casters end up, stick any line on any rod and make it work.
