Took a lesson from Capt. Chis a few years ago. He had me tightened up in 20 minutes and gave me the tools and practice thoughts needed for when I got home. I find myself on this channel every-so-often for when things start going south with my cast and as he says, he has an extensive playlist of common errors, which is typically what I find myself doing! If only he could teach someone how to calm the hell down when that string of tarpon is headed your way!! I go from a pretty decent caster to someone who has never held a fly rod in their hand pretty quickly in that situation!! I'll definitely be hooking up with Capt. Chris next time I am in the Orlando area for tune-up! Thank you, Capt. Chris for all of the time you put into these free lessons!
Hi Chris. Over here in England cynics say that those who can't do, teach. Well you certainly give the lie to that. Your loops are a beauty to behold, and your instructional videos are an inspiration: Short, to the point, well-paced, simply explained and the beautifully clear photography catches every single teaching point - there are even slow motion repeats! Well done. Thank you. And the very best of luck to you.
I have watched quite a few beginner fly casting videos all were very good but yours has helped me the best. You were able to show me exactly the mistakes I am making. I practice in a soccer field and I just got back and remembering the tips you talked about and I improved greatly!! No more overpowering and no more sore arm!! Thank you so much!!!
One of best and precious tip for beginners like me, the key Is muscle memory in movimento and your video is something to share in all fly casting schools. Thank you very much Captain
I pretty much do all the bad things in your videos lol but I will certainly take all your advice to heart and practice hard this coming season. Next time I bring the kids to Disney I'll have to book a charter, thanks for the vids
Really appreciate your help in identifying errors and how to practice to correct problems. The side views and front and back views are very beneficial. You should patent the 'Straight Line Checker.' Please keep 'em coming.
What matters most is the path your rod tip is following. To get narrow loops, it must be going back and forth in a straight line. You can do this using your body only and never moving the hand and arm but it would get tiresome. For longer casts, I use a combination of hand, arm, and body to increase my range of motion and stroke length. Short casts only need a short stroke. Long casts need a long stroke.
@@CaptChrisMyers thx Chris going to get lighter rods to as I use #8 which I think is to much for what I do small lake fishing trout to 4lb, think I will get 5/6 weight not so tiring on the body when casting its just that I fish with a mate on small boat and he says when I cast I rock the boat to much he said learn to just use ur arm not ur body
Yes, an 8 is overkill for fish that size. It does allow for longer casts with poor technique because the line is heavier. A 5 is plenty for that situation. Check out tis for how your hand should be moving - ua-cam.com/video/ym09p-k7Pq8/v-deo.html
Great videos! I’ve be watched many UA-cam videos and yours is clearest to understand and apply! Do you have videos of casting in 10knot with gusts to 20knots 20knots with gusts to 30knots? Many times here on Oahu trade winds will blow for weeks Thank you
I tired to make some the day before the hurricane arrive last week but it did not turn out like I wanted. I have a high winds demo on my list of future videos. Thanks. Send me an email I can send you a clip of 75ft into the wind.

I was obvious to making this mistake on my longer casts. Am anxious to working on this tip, Thank you!
Good luck

Someone has told me that it should just be ur hand and arm that move but I find it easier to move my upper body with the cast am I doing it wrong
