Fly fishing for trout, fly fishing for Cutthroat in the Pacific Northwest has been a passion of mine for the last 40 years. I have spent most of my life fly fishing the great Pacific Northwest to include fly fishing in Alaska, fly fishing in Washington, fly fishing in Oregon, fly fishing in Idaho and fly fishing in Montana. I generally will fly fish and practice catch and release when fly fishing for trout, but I have been known to catch and cook during camping trips to many of my favorite fishing spots. I love to fly fish lakes in the higher elevation, though I have a few lowland lakes that are fly fishing only that are also on my most favorite list. I have a ton experience fly fishing rivers for trout and always enjoy discovering new rivers to fly fishing in and around the greater Pacific Northwest. I am also an accomplished at casting a fly rod - whether it is fly fishing casting for distance, fly fishing casting for accuracy, the double haul, roll cast, tower cast and many more fly fishing casting techniques - I can show you the basics when it comes to casting a fly rod. I also will cover many topics that relate to getting started with fly fishing. From your basic fly fishing setups, flies and fly boxes - we cover all the fly fishing needs for beginners. Thanks for taking the time to tune into FlyFishDan and I hope you consider subscribing to my fly fishing channel. Cheers and FISH-ON!!!

Thanks Dave - I appreciate you being a part of my channel!
Picked up a cheap fly combo today and wanted to see what all the fuss is about. Watched some videos on how to cast and practiced for like 4 hours while I had a spinner cast out. Thanks to this video I now know what I need to work on so I don’t adopt bad habits and I was doing more things right than I thought. Haha! Thanks for the education! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I see and understand what I am doing wrong now. Thank you Sir. I have thought about video myself when I practice casting.

Thanks Dan, very helpful and much appreciated! i still need LOTS of practice with the double haul!
Always wear some sort of glasses when casting should be the number 1 tip. It's not very fun to get a hook in your eye.

Yup it does get frustrating at first. Some awesome tips there Dan. For me, my cast got better after I let go of the urge to cast faaaar. It got further on its own eventually. Presenting the fly and Accuracy > casting distance in my opinion.

You're welcome. Thank you for your time to make such a great video.
With the new rod and line techniques, there are now also new casting techniques. Swinging the line back and forth in the air is part of the old casting style.

False casting is the primary essence of casting a fly rod - old and new
Oh my gosh, only if i knew how to stop whipping it sooner, was just practicing today and snapped the line 2 times in 1 hour

You'll get there - took many months of practice and fishing before I started to get the hang of it.
Very green beginner here. When you are practicing your cast do you have any thing on you leader? Split weight or something?
@FlyFishDan

I put on a 9' tapered leader...tie a small piece of yarn to the end or snip off the end of a fly and use that. You got this!

Also remember you are not casting the weight of the fly, you are casting the plastic coated fly line, that is the object with the weight you are throwing - the leader and fly just go along for the ride. The fly line is your carrier.
Humorous!
If I am practicing on my front lawn, what can I attach to my tippet to replace a fly

Typically you’ll tie the fly right to the end of the tippet using an improved clinch knot
Its easy to get frustrated when youre learning and see people like Dan who cast so well and yet so effortlessly, but you have to remember they have been doing this for 20, 30, 40, or more years.

Keep practicing - once you get the timing down, that will stop happening. Slow your cadence, it will help a ton.

Wanna get frustrated even if you have experience with floating lines? try euro nymphing lol
I can cast maybe the length of the pole. None of these vids seem to work for me, I need in-person help.

w lake fishing you need to cast
Your drag needs to be tightened before you set the hook on a large fish- the first two catches on this video had too little drag.
