- Saltwater Fly fishing techniques. How to make a quick and accurate cast to fish with a flyrod. IFF Certified casting instructor and full time fishing guide Capt Chris Myers shows how to reach distances of 75ft and more starting from holding the fly in your hand. This is a popular method of casting when fly fishing the saltwater flats. Knowing the quick cast is essential for delivering the fly to the fish rapidly with a minimum number of false casts This step by step tutorial with slow motion demonstrates a technique that will help you catch more fish when on the flats.
This is the one technique that all saltwater flats fishing fly anglers should know and be comfortable with doing. The fly fishing tutorial will help you catch more fish on your saltwater fly fishing adventure.
Learn how to start your casts with 20 or more feet of fly line plus a leader which will result in the flyrod being able to load quickly and allow you to reach almost every fish with no more than two back casts.

You produce really excellent videos. Very clear and realistic instruction. Salt is new to me and a new learning curve - you teach in a way to make us newbies not feel quite so goofy. Nice Job and Thanks!!
Thanks. I just added some new fly casting stuff today.
This is great! Thanks for posting!
Excellent...getting ready for my first saltwater mission and this instruction is just what I need to learn...along with a million others things. Thank you very much!
Excellent skill that I didn't even know I needed!
Best explanation I've seen. Thank you!!
Just found this video. Great tip Captain! All your videos are really good. You are a great teacher. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Awesome, love it, going to practice it tomorrow.
Thank you!!
Excellent instruction!
You have mad skills Chris! Just starting out and your channel is going to be invaluable!
This channel has been so helpful to me. I appreciate your vids buddy
Thanks
I use this when wading as well so I do not have to drag the fly in the water or strip it in all the way
Great vid Captain!
Loving your video's top notch valuable info. Thanks
Very, very good! Thank you!
Enjoyed the first video, this was even clearer. Great job.
I am going to look at more of your video specifically related to Redfish. I was surprised to hear you say in your first video that you had a 10' leader. Would like more on that, with larger saltwater flies it seems to me a 10' leader would be harder to control and land accurately, which I know you think is critical to success for tailing Redfish.
Looking forward to seeing your other videos, hope to schedule a trip with you in the future.
I would not recommend anything shorter than a 9" leader with the floating lines we use. If constructed properly, and cast with tight loops, they will lay on perfectly. If the leader gets too short, the fish may spook from the flyline landing too close to them. I know anglers who routinely use 12ft leaders.
@@CaptChrisMyers Thanks for the clarification.
This tells me I need to work on my accuracy, using tigher loops, your high to low casting stroke, and having the fly hit the water first practice tips. Will do.
When I get make some progress I'll probably take you up on the video analysis offer that is on your website.
Thanks again.
Great instruction Chris, thank you. A quick comment. You're an expert, no doubt. But I would never cast without sunglasses on. I work every day casting my 5 weight for distance, and even with a yarn fly I wouldn't ever consider doing it without glasses. Please take this " criticism " for what it is, a nod toward eye safety. I very much enjoy all your work and you are a beautiful caster.
Excellent point. When I am not making videos, I always have them on.
@@CaptChrisMyers Got it. You can't see the monitor with Polarised lenses on. I should have thought it through.
Nice tutorial
It is a TFO TiCr 7wt. The rod is usually black. Mine is yellow only because it is an instructor model. Same rod, different color.
Capt. Chris,
Will this work as effectively when wading? I realize most of the stripped-off flyline will be in the water, but the 'need for speed' in the cast is just as important.
Thanks for this very important tool,
Bill
belle et boone leçon.Merci
Thank you sir
yes
I'm practicing. My only glitch is that occasionally my fly will snag my reel line coming out of my fingers. Hitting 50' regularly when I get it right though.
Nice tip...gonna try it out ...but most folks should have eye protection ... Whipping flies around isn't a joke, just had a gnat fly removed from my forearm glad it wasn't my eyeball...fly fishing NYC...
Chaz Seymour Excellent point. Should always wear glasses when a fly is tied on. I only have yarn on when practicing.
Chaz Seymour I've only been practicin' my cast with the line only. No fly just started and need lots of practice.
what fly rod you are use in this video??
What size of rod and line do you have in all these you tube films
7wt
I have a problem because the fly pulls out of my hand during the backcast.
Without actually seeing your cast, i suspect you are either using way too much power or moving your rod down in the back so that it is parallel to the ground. i have never had the back stroke pull the fly out of my hand doing this.
@ChrisMyers what rod is that? I like the yellow color of it.
nevermind! i saw it in the comments below =)
Can’t figure this out for the life of me. Seems like holding the fly doesn’t let the line speed up on the back cast and when I cast forward I get no where.
Without seeing what is happening I can only guess. The backward stroke pulls the slack out of the line and the fly in your hand acts as an anchor point so the first forward stroke is like a roll cast that straightens out above the water in front. Two most common mistakes I see is not letting the forward stoke pull the fly out of your hand and stopping the forst forward stroke going down towards the water. If you can't get it, send me a video.
@@CaptChrisMyers so the first forward stroke is more so like a roll cast rather than a regular cast? That could be why I’m having issues
I would not describe it that way as the forward stroke of your roll cast should be very similar to your "normal " forward stroke. most people make roll cast around a huge curve and stop going down. The tip path in roll casts and the quick cast should be a straight line coming forward.
pile of line just outside the view of the frame? or did you lay the shit all the way out?
Definitely no line pile. 75 feet is simple with 3 strokes if you start with 2ft of line outside the tip and can cast a tight loop. With poor casting technique 75 ft is impossible.
gets me excited to learn! my dad was saying this is exactly how he casts when tarpon fishing.
der Kerl wirft mit zu viel movement, sein ganzer Körper sendet Warnsignale zur fishfauna?
+Fritz Raddatz Dies ist nicht für die Fischerei in einem Strom von Forellen. Dies ist für das Gießen von großen Entfernungen im Salzwasser. Ich möchte sehen, Sie ohne Körperbewegung werfen 25 Meter
