Thanks. I really need to get these right. I like your videos. I'm a beginner & with your help I successfully went wading in our local river & caught 2 large mouth bass earlier this week. They were only about 6"fish, but I was giddy. As it was my 1st time fly fishing. After a lot of practice casting & anticipation. I was landing the fly were I wanted& getting hits almost immediately. I have learned a lot from your videos. Thanks.

Excellent! Good stuff, thanks for sharing!

I have to do some saving up but I am going to get a five weight and can’t wait!

Nice! The FFD5 has been a big hit for us, not surprising due to it's performance. Everything I hoped for and more. Thank you for considering my fly rod as well, I am truly grateful! Cheers!

FFD, another excellent video. Maybe in a future video you might want to go a little deeper into why one needs to haul (or DH) - and when not to? For example, hauling a back-cast increases the chance of a dry fly "popping" the surface as it speeds off, which can spook trout in low or clear water presentations (and I'm sure you know this already 🙃). You could show the technique for still hauling without the "pop". Anyway, ☮ from Idaho and glad to hear the rods are a hit 😎

Thank you Justal - that is a great idea, drilling down a bit further, I appreciate the inspiration. Thank you! The support I have received on the rod company is humbling, pretty cool stuff.

I will try that. Thank you!

I am glad you did too! Glad to have you here, Cheers!

Never Done It Before!!! Seems Interesting!!!

This helped a ton! I’ll invest in better stuff someday because I’ve just started. I’m super excited to get more advanced in not just fly fishing but also tying flies. I live in Florida where we have bass but also some exotics like peacock bass which fight super hard along with saltwater species such as Jack of course and I’m dying to catch one of those on fly. Tight lines!

I'm having trouble with timing on starting the forward cast too soon. I don't have the flexibility to watch my loop totally straighten out. Do I wait to feel the fly tug before I make my 2nd haul and forward cast?

That would be just a touch late - as soon as you feel you’re ready to bring it forward, wait a half second longer, then bring the casting stroke forward. After a while, it will become intuitive (muscle memory).

Another great tutorial Dan thanks. My only disagreement is in your line choices. I know you love to support American made and I understand that. I support Canadian made when its equal or better quality. Airflo lines are better in every way and as an added bonus 100% more environmentally friendly. Ok I'm jumping down from my very opinionated high horse named Monday Morning.

Thank you! I do have to say that RIO has been letting me down recently (sharp imperfections in the line, two that just snapped playing a fish) ...I might need to take a closer look at Airflo for sure. I appreciate your input!

Hello there!

But you need to have a good automatic muscle memory to do this or yoh will end up with trailling loop mess

It definitely takes practice and you are right, then muscle memory takes hold. I have to concentrate on 'not' hauling at some level when casting. Thanks for watching! Cheers!
