Most fly casters have trouble with simple casting fundamentals. These include:

Removing slack before making the pick up
Starting the cast with the rod pointed right down the fly line, directly at the fly.
Accelerating to a stop on the back cast.
Pausing to allow the line to straighten out on the back cast, or proper timing of each cast.
Smoothly accelerating the forward cast
Making the back cast and forward cast on the same plane, 180 degrees from each other.
Making both the back and forward casts with straight rod tip paths.
Stopping the fly rod on the forward cast to allow a tight loop to form.
Proper casting plane for the distance to be cast.
Increase the length of the casting stroke for the length of line being cast.

Many trout anglers are unconcerned with improving their casting. “Why do I need to cast very far, most of the trout are 30 feet away,” is the line one hears all of the time. Most trout are indeed very close to the anglers who pursue them. However the need for good casting to properly present a fly is not diminished by a trout lying close to one’s feet. Sound casting fundamentals apply to all casts, both long and short. Furthermore, solid casting fundamentals enable longer casts to be made with ease. No new or special skills are required to increase a caster’s maximum distance from fifty to eighty feet, distance is achieved by doing casting basics better. The keys to producing distance are the same keys that enable accurate casts and control of the fly line. These are necessary whether you are casting to a trout ten feet away or a tarpon swimming by at seventy feet.

No one has ever become a better caster without time spent practicing. If you want to improve, you need to practice your skills.

In upcoming blog posts we’ll look at improving accuracy, perfecting the double haul, learning slack line casts, adjusting the rod angle for fishing situations and how to effectively practice. I hope a few anglers improve their proficiency with a fly rod along the way.
