Fly Casting - Why Won't My Leader Straighten??!!
The leader not straightening when presenting the fly is a big problem for a lot of fly casters. There can be many reasons for a fly leader not straightening, and here I explore a few of them, and offer solutions. Once you learn how to land it straight you can re-learn how to land it in a pile to deliberately introduce slack.

A much maligned species in Australia. But they're here in our waterways, there's plenty of them, they grow big, they eat well presented flies, and they can teach us a great deal about fly fishing.

A GREAT cast for BIG flies, HEAVY flies, windy days, or a team of team of flies.
มุมมอง 3.2K2 ปีที่แล้ว
This is an evolution of what has become known as the Belgian, or Oval cast. It's one of the more important of the fundamental casts to have in your repertoire, especially if you like to cast big flies and heavy flies - but it's also a GREAT cast for windy days, or for when you're using a team of flies such as a 2 nymph indicator rig, a dry dropper, or a 2-3 fly Loch style rig.

Great video
Amazing !
Key position and power stop position
Outstanding tutorial. Thanx!
Were you watching me last weekend?! LOL. I liked the presentation of trajectories and the pause, giving you the extreme ends of these problems. I was able to imagine running through one of these on the water, and testing to see if I’m in the sweet spot.
Wouldn’t a 6 or 7wt be more appropriate? Interesting vid 👍
Not necessarily. I have mates who fish for them 2 and 3 weight glass rods.
That must something! 😳
Even after attending your casting classes this is a great refresher. Thanks Pete. P. S your book was a great read too. 😊
All of my faults demonstrated here!
What a great video. Thank you. I have saved it and will be watching it again and again
Excellent demonstration thank you
Best casting videos ever! (Subscribe)
Thank you sir - very useful
Thanks, Peter. Another fantastic and succinct lesson. Cheers from New Zealand
tho I've seen so many people give line during the last cast to reduce slack during an overpowered throw to increase distance on their cast and still straighten out.. they must be super comfy with their setup to be able to accomplish that aha I just do the basic's no screwing around just a gentle cast to straighten out and cast in a general area lol
Excellent video! I appreciate the wide angle shots. So many folks just show what the casting hand is doing, but no shots of what the line is doing. How much fly line do you typically have past the last guide when you're going to shoot line? Also, I just started trying to fly fish in the surf, and I had an unexpected epiphany moment. I'm used to throwing small flies, mostly dry flies. But in the surf, I was using a shrimp pattern fly that got heavy with water, and had lead eyes, so it was substantial to say the least. On my back cast, I could really *feel* when the line straightened out behind me and started loading the rod. That tactile feedback was a major "Ah-HAH!". Hopefully I can translate that to other styles of fly fishing!
Thanks. Good question and something I have never considered. I know from an instructors casting comp we have that a rod length of line is sufficient to begin to shoot. Yeah, the "donk" on the backcast is a fair indication when you have a heavy fly on. I think that learning to watch your backcast as often as is possible is the very best way to learn your timing.
Nice presentation, Sir!
Great content!! New practice tools,, thanks for sharing 😊
Your presentation with the explanations are very helpful, so I have a question pertaining to improving my rollcast on a 5wt. rod, WF line and a small beadhead nymph pattern size 16 or 18. So I am having a problem the straightening of my leader with a rollcast trying to hit a 20' target. I think the problem is that I need to shorten my leader in order to have thicker tippet material to properly turn over the fly.
Paul a roll cast should unroll into the air and then settle onto the water. maybe your trajectory on the forward cast is too low, ie you are aiming down. Try roll casting into the air and then let it settle. There is a great clip on YT of Peter Hayes teaching the roll cast, look that up.
This is an excellent, down-to-earth fly casting tutorial.
I’m teaching myself to use the double hander. Better for my back ache than my single and flat out the most pleasure giving fishing tackle I’ve ever used. Great for rock and surf fishing imho.
I've been a fly fisher for 30+ years. This is probably the best fly casting video I've seen.
Thank you Mr. Morse! Outstanding explanations of 'slack' creation in all of it's variations; now making the fishing life of this ole Canadian Army Signals veteran, much more pleasurable.
Great explanations
As a newbie, I have to say that this video is super informative! Was able to take the info and put it into practice. Wow! Super, super helpful!
Thanks for the great information 👍👍 Good Luck too all on the water 🎏 🎏 The Vermonter
There is always something to learn. I’m a newbie at this and always looking out for ways to improve. Must admit I’ve probably developed some bad habits. You’ve deconstructed the cast so that I can analyse my casts. Thanks.
Why does my hook constantly have to be removed from my scalp? Should I wear my motorbike helmet in the river?
😂
One of, if not the, greatest presentations if have seen! So many details, which I knew, but you made me finally understand them! But maybe you can pick annother background, next time?!? Your explanatoins were great, but I often couldn´t really see, what you were demonstrating.
"You're using a stick to throw a piece of string." That really helps put it into perspective for me.
Nice one Morsie!
Great info & tips, thanks for sharing. 👍
This is by far the best 20 min I've spent learning to cast a fly line properly after watching hundreds of videos. Thank you for making it so clear and simple!
Excellent presentation! Thank you!
Very well presented - easy to understand and apply. Thank you!
Great video. Really well explained as usuall!
Thank you kindly!
I just found your channel Pete, looking forward to checking out all your videos. Subscribed 👍 Cheers mate Jas the Butcher
I’ve been fly fishing for over 40 years. This is the best analysis I have seen. Many thanks
I've watched lots of videos on casting. First time I heard about the proper application of power. Realized that overpowering is the main cause of when my casts go wrong. Awesome instructional video. Thanks so much
🤔 Looks like you haven’t watched enough, then. There are many other videos which talk about application of power.
When u say overpowering, my guess is u are referring to the velocity of your arm. If this is happening it means you are not loading your rod and as such, you are trying to make it up with rod velocity. I know cuz I did this with my right hand. Then I took up salt water fly fishing and realized I needed to be ambidextrous to account for changing wimd conditions. With my weaker left hand, I was outcasting my right with little effort? How? Becauae my left being weaker, got all its power from the haul whereas the right was flawed in that it tried to compensate by overpowering the rod. The problems with overpoweing is you can't make those abrupt stops needed to facilitate energy transfer. As such, you end up forming a big loop. And why do you feel the need to overpower? Because you are not properly loading the rod. Another issue with overpowering is that you can't maintain acceleration. What you do is you accerate quickly and then finish off with constant velocity prior to coming to a stop. Work on loading your rod with proper timing and hauling. If you do this, your rod speed will slow down, and your road will load more leading to there being no need to overpower the rod. Focus on power coming from the haul, not the translational velocity of the rod.
.....in a heap......shit
Amazing video. Ive never thought about when I should let the line go when shooting it out. Youve also made me realize I do the start of the front cast wrong by curving it too much. Thank you so much.
Very good video, mate. Well done! Helpful, informative and great presenting! 👍
This is the most informative and comprehensive fly casting video on TH-cam. Well done.
Excellent video Peter the best I have seen, thanks
One of my favorite knots when tying to a fly or other hook eye. I’ve heard the second version called the “Double Davy”.
Excellent training video Peter. Well presented.
Thank yuo, so izzy
great video!
Best demo I’ve seen in years, also like that the conditions are not ideal, there seems to be a good wind blowing from time to time which in my opinion is realistic. I just spent 21 days in Idaho, Montana and Utah and during that there was only one (1) morning that there was calm no wind.
EXCELLENT INFORMATIVE VIDEO THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE!!
