A Guide to Fly Fishing Casting for Novices
The art of fly fishing casting may look extremely difficult to the beginner angler, but with a bit of practice it is not that difficult to become a good fly caster. You can have the ideal fly fishing equipment and the perfect fly fishing fly, but unless you know how to cast property, you are wasting your time. It's important to be able to land a fly fishing fly on an exact location on the water's surface when fly fishing casting. The fundamental fly fishing casting techniques required by the novice angler are described within this article.
It is recommended that the beginner learn fly fishing casting from a fishing instructor, but there are plenty of books, DVDs, and online guides that teach fly fishing casting. The two main fly fishing casting techniques used today are the overhead cast, and the roll cast, and all other fly fishing casting techniques are variations of these two techniques. The beginner will start with the basic dry fly fishing method where a floating line is used which floats on top of the water. Beginner anglers will find it far easier to see the fly line when casting if the dry fly fishing method is used. It is also easier to detect a strike on the line. Also, using a bulky fly fishing vest can impede your casting stroke, and beginners are advised to use a smaller fly fishing chest pack or lumbar pack – there are a wide range of affordable Fishpond pack models to choose from for the beginner angler.
When practicing fly fishing casting it is important to ensure you practice in a location with enough clear space, such as a open field. If practicing 45 foot casts, make sure you have 45 feet of open space in front of you and behind you, and about 20 foot of open space on each side of you. To be safe, it is a good idea to wear a hat and glasses/protective goggles. A fly with no hook, which is called a yarn fly, should be used on your fly line. For your fly casting practice sessions, place targets out in front of you, then you must try to hit these targets when fly casting (hula-hoops can be used).
Overhead Cast
This is the most commonly used fly fishing casting technique, and most beginners should start using this technique. This technique has two sequences, the back cast, then the forward cast. With the back cast, you are lifting the fly line off the water in front of you, and up over your head until the fly line is behind you. Before the fly line touches the ground behind you, initiate the forward cast sequence. With the forward cast, you bring the fly line back over your head, and land the fly line on the water with the fly landing on the location you were aiming for.
Roll Cast
The roll cast is used when you have obstructions behind you, such as bushes or trees, that prevent you from doing the back cast using the overhead casting technique. This technique is also useful in strong winds where you don’t want to lift the line too high into the air. The technique for performing a roll cast is also fairly simple. Lift the fly rod up vertically until it just passes the one o'clock position, which is just past your ear. This causes the fly line to slide back on top of the water's surface, without the line lifting off the surface. Do a firm forward cast once you are in this position – this will complete the cast.
