Hello Everyone! A quality fly line makes all the difference when casting - here is a link to the fly line used in this tutorial. Cheers! amzn.to/38jUaTg
While it is important to keep a mental discipline regarding your rod position at 10-2, your arc will begin to widen slightly beyond this point as your distance increases. However, it's important to have this mental discipline in place so that your cast won't degrade. You will find that your arc will widen organically to near 9 - 3 (or 170 degrees max) as shown in this video and as you continue to generate line speed with greater distance.
Thank you Doug - it is just like muscle memory at this point. Even consciously trying not to my hand/arm moves slightly. Lol - thank you for watching! Cheers!
Thanks Dan, have a sink tip line and will be using it when a bit warmer out. What wt. tippet(mono of flouro) would be good on 7wt line. Also how long and should it be tapered or straight? Thanks Dan.
You are most welcome! I would use a flouro tippet (sinks faster)...if you are using a furled leader, you can use straight 4x or 3x flouro tippet. If you have a loop-to-loop connection, use a 7.5-foot tapered leader - helps roll over the fly on a cast. That is what has worked for me over the years. Cheers!
Hello Jim - you will still let line out with the same cadence when double hauling. Timing is important for the mechanics to work properly - with practice, you'll get it down for sure. Thanks for taking the time to watch! Cheers!
What situation would call for a single haul and what situation would call for a double haul? Seems like double haul all the time would really get your line speed going.
Sometimes a quick single haul when initially picking the line up on the water helps generate line speed. Otherwise - double hauling is best to get the line going for sure.

Brilliant video! I'm new to fly fishing and really struggle in the wind casting. You have a new subscriber!!!
Awesome! Thank you! I am working on a distance casting video now that puts to work technique, form and the double haul...stay tuned! :))
Appreciate these videos. Just learning this fly fishing. Have a trip in a few weeks over to Montana. Can’t wait. 👍👍
Adventuring the PNW awesome! I appreciate your support! There is nothing like fly fishing Montana!

Glad it was helpful!
Very good tutorial , that explained a lot to me , thanks .
You are welcome!
New subscriber here! Just got myself a fly rod and reel looking to practice. :)
Welcome aboard! You are at the right place to learn how to fly fish. Good to have you here!
Great video, I noticed you’re very subtly double hauling even when you didn’t mean to. Good muscle memory!
Thank you Doug - it is just like muscle memory at this point. Even consciously trying not to my hand/arm moves slightly. Lol - thank you for watching! Cheers!
Thanks Dan! "FISH ON!!!"
You are most welcome! FISH-ON indeed!!

@@FlyFishDan Thanks again Dan
Thanks Dan. When you false cast you let line out with your left hand but when you haul you do not let line out?

Everything else being equal, what is the difference in casting distance between the single and double haul? Thanks.
Typically - you can achieve a distance of 30% greater using a double haul over a single haul.
Thanks!
Thank you!!
@@FlyFishDan man. My wife and I are just starting out, and this video is exactly what we needed to see! THANK YOU!!!
Thanks
No problem
Oooooohhh you photoshopped it !!!!! 🤔😂🤷🏻🤣🤘👊
I'm not even sure what that means...Lol
