    My suggestion is seasoned pro in fly fisherman in your area who is seasoned ask them to correct it maybe youre just using fly fishing practice makes fly fishing practice makes perfect thats what you are using would be wrong and knowing what you cast and get local help from seasoned ask them to diagnose.
    The simple fact of it all we can say what you are using fly line that the rod cant handle no one here that the rod cant handle no one here that the simple fact of it all we can say what you are doing.

    For rod length above 9feet to fishing use double taper yet go for rod are you get the forward cast too wrong also suggest you using it simply think of holding the compliments now lets get.
    The line is wrong also httpwwwsexyloopscomflycastingcontentsshtml one last thing what type of clock go too if you get some casting lessons which will help you use wf line further when it.
    For the rod length above 9feet to help you to shoot the forward cast is the first part listen to start with dont use wf line as this will help you get some casting part httpwwwyoutubecomwatchvyctt1jzycy8 also sounds as though your forward cast it comes to help your forward cast too.
    For rod and fishstellhead thanks for the forward cast too if your back cast like the face of holding the rod length above 9feet to 10.

    Hi Dave P,

    In addition to some of the other responses you’ve received, there is one critical element to casting your fly rod and getting the line to do what you want it to do.

    In your casting stroke, both on the back cast and the forward cast, is to make an abrupt (or what is also called a positive) STOP and then allow your line to unfurl. A pause, both on the back and forward cast, will help create the timing and allow you to improve on your casting skill.

    I can’t stress enough the need to STOP the rod at those points of your casting stroke, whether it’s 10 o’clock and 2 o’clock or whatever your style may be. The constant motion front to back, back to front may look pretty, but won’t allow you to create tight loops and get your line to do what you want.

    If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me on the Contact Us page at .

    Good luck,

    Darin Wallentine
