I started to fly fish not too long ago. I’m past the struggle stage. I’m getting the fly line out and catching fish, but I’m always learning a new casting technique or rigging setup. Flip is an excellent teacher. He has a demeanor that easily conveys his knowledge and makes his lessons approachable/accessible to anglers of all skill levels. Keep up the great content!
I've been fly fishing for 50 plus years and this tip is the best ever. Just gets me wondering how many big fish I have spooked over the years. Seasons greetings from a snowy Sweden.
Thanks Flip Pallot !!!!! Been applying this practice suggested by you of "|casting the fly/tippet". What a wonderful practice that i feel really zeroes in on laying down a straight line cast with fly landing first. Sure brings a sense of calm when laying down cast after cast in this manner. Thanks again, Tight Lines Always John Hollis 😁
Fly fishing since the mid 80s and have been quite successful however I now wonder how many fish I have spooked. Brilliant advice and hopefully I’m not too old to change😆. Thank you.
Brian, they use butter in the south, it's what they put on their food after they fry it in lard. All that said this is a very good tip. Yes I know I'm late to the party but I was in Florida trying to fish Lake Okeechobee. The blue-green algae won. Keep the good stuff coming.
Started doing this by accident while fishing little brookie streams. Casting over rocks and logs you need to keep the line off everything or else youll spend all day trying to keep your flies on your line and not buried in something other then a fish.
Another way to do it is throw a little roll cast. Everything will pop loose from the surface tension, then just do your regular cast. Flip Pallot is the real deal and a great guy. He's the master of inshore salt water fly fishing.
I always water haul on the striper flats. When you can only see a cruising fish inside 40 feet, and at 20 feet the rod won’t load, I find it’s the fastest way to get the line up for a controlled cast. I should point out that I’m wading.
I thought this was going to be about tailing loops and was surprised by the topic. I’ve been using this method naturally for many years and never thought much about it. I guess after 40 years of ff you can figure a few things out.
some old dude told me this on the river when I was like 19 years old and I just been doing it since..and assumed everyone else did. But it does make a lot of sense how It can be overlooked. Im sure id of not thought of it.
Some folks have criticized practice casting in your yard, using the excuse that your grass doesn’t load the rod the same as the water does. Well, doesn’t this demonstration kind of show, that practice casting in your yard is OK, then? I have been doing it for years, you can still do that initial lift in your back yard too!
If you ever watched " Walkers Key " chronicles back in the day. There's no way Flip can say anything "briefly"... This guy has a complete mastery of english vocabulary. This gentleman memorized the thesaurus. I am not. Repeat, am not disrespecting Flip in any way. None more well spoken, and very few a better fisherman. I, for one, miss walkers' key chronicles.... You keep talking Flip. Ill keep listening.
doesn't this go against the rule of "you're only making half of a cast"? i've watched dozens of videos/clips where brian has said you start your cast by keeping your rod tip down, in the water if possible. i'm beginning to think that even the pros just make it up as they go
@@Madriveroutfitters but is that the same as starting your cast with the rod low? he literally says to bring the rod up slow and then once the line is off the water start to rip it back. the videos where lefty kreh says to start your cast low he rips his line before he even starts to pull his rod tip up out the water.
@@budfahnestock2418 we have quite a few videos in this fly casting series that address this. Lefty did not rip the line off the water. He casted the leader and the fly, just like Brian and Flip. That’s where they learned this! 👍
@@Madriveroutfitters i guess I have to go back and rewatch some stuff then, this whole time I've been ripping my line before I pull my rod tip up, thanks for the responses!
@@Madriveroutfitters I visit your site often - great advice always - whenever friends take up fly fishing, I recommend that they watch Brian’s fly casting videos - the best I have ever watched… I learned a lot from them - and formed my own advice from watching your videos Brian - to try to get them to not go beyond two o’clock and 11 o’clock I tell them to imagine they are reaching up to a high curtain rail, over head. and firmly but smoothly pull the curtain back, say ‘Telecaster’ then push the curtain closed again … Sounds a bit odd, but it seems to work… 😂😂🎸🎣❤️👍
The Walkers Cay Chronicles is my favorite outdoors show ever. Thanks, Flip!
Was the highest rated fishing show of all-time. Many folks agreed!!
i have been throwing flies 60 of my 75 years and i just learned something new, thanks Brian and Flip

Top Flip !! And Brian too. Best team.
Thanks for watching.
Flip has forgotten more stuff about fly fishing than all the rest of us know combined. Great tip!
That's probably true! He's a legend.
I’ve been doing this mistake! Great tip!

Great tip that makes perfect sense.

Great tip and it all makes sense . Should work roll casting too
Thanks for watching!
Simple. Elegant. Effective. Perfect.
Much. Appreciated.
@@Madriveroutfitters 👍😁
Great tip, neat video, wondering what you guys were fishing for in St John’s River?
Thanks for watching. We don't have that intel here but you can sure e-mail or call Brian directly and he would know.

Flip Pallot is the real deal and a great guy. He's the master of inshore salt water fly fishing.
Thanks for watching. He’s trying to avoid the “water haul” here though, which is what a roll cast is.
Great tip!
Little subtle things but very important.
Just like Butter or Lard!😂
Thanks for watching.
Good job!

keeping my skills sharp after 15 years of intense fly angling. cheers

Joan Wolfe talks about the very same method in one of her books, the technique is a excellent way to cast in any calm water situation.
Agreed! Thanks for watching.
Hi, which type of line do you casting in this video?
Flip Pallot Hi-Vis Sight line by Cortland. Of course. www.madriveroutfitters.com/p-14733-cortland-hi-vis-flip-pallot-fly-line.aspx
@@Madriveroutfitters thank you 😊
Excellent!!!
Thanks!!!
Thanks to my Hero Flip and to you too Brian. Just to let you know we have butter here in the South.
Thanks for watching. He knows….just a bad “south” joke.
i noticed you did a haul on your back cast
He always does!
I thought this was going to be about tailing loops and was surprised by the topic. I’ve been using this method naturally for many years and never thought much about it. I guess after 40 years of ff you can figure a few things out.

I accidentally did this today and thought it was a good idea. Glad to know I was right 😂

Practicing casting in your back yard is much better than not practicing at all!
Amen! But I never cast as well on the water as I do in my yard, and now I think k I know why.
If you ever watched " Walkers Key " chronicles back in the day. There's no way Flip can say anything "briefly"...

Just. Like. Butter.
Agreed! Thanks for being here.
It's just like butter here too.
Thanks for watching.
Haven’t scared anybody, except anyone I’m fishing with. I’m notorious for hooking others. 😮
Scary for sure. Thanks for watching though.
Not lard. Bacon Grease! 😊
@@paullsmith1867 Whatever your preferred fat is fine! Thanks for watching.
Bacon not lard Brian!😂
Sorry he can't change it at this point. The video has already been filmed. Thanks though.
Bad joke I guess. Lard is a fine substitute for butter.
@@robertparker7284 All good….he likes bacon as well!
Flip and Lefty were the best
No question. Thanks for being here.
👍👍👍
Thanks for being here.
Tell this to the Spey guys😭
Totally different cast....only one hand on the rod here. Thanks for watching.

No it does not. You are still starting with the rod low and getting the line moving. Same thing.
@@Madriveroutfitters but is that the same as starting your cast with the rod low? he literally says to bring the rod up slow and then once the line is off the water start to rip it back. the videos where lefty kreh says to start your cast low he rips his line before he even starts to pull his rod tip up out the water.
