  • 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.

    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.

    • @CaptChrisMyers
      @CaptChrisMyers  3 місяці тому +1

      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.

    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

    I have a problem because the fly pulls out of my hand during the backcast.

    • @CaptChrisMyers
      @CaptChrisMyers  6 років тому

      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.

    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.

    • @CaptChrisMyers
      @CaptChrisMyers  6 місяців тому

      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.

    • @FratBoyFishing
      @FratBoyFishing 6 місяців тому

      @@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

    • @CaptChrisMyers
      @CaptChrisMyers  6 місяців тому

      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?

    • @CaptChrisMyers
      @CaptChrisMyers  10 років тому

      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.
