Too avoid wristmovement try stick the butt down in your sleeves. That will minimize the tailing loops. But still the tecnique used by 99,999% of flyfisher create tailing loops so this is not strange. But with small adjustments it is possible to minimize the flaws in this style of casting. I have several techniques that I am using when picking up the rod after a long winter. One is to shot the line in a straight horisontal pattern. Another is designed to minimize the rods wobbling causing an opening and closing of the loop. I invented thoos tecniques 20 years ago amazed that no one else using them.. Because there are always someone else somewhere...
Thanks for your question, Tim. They are what we called in the early days "closed loops". Every very long cast that Steve Rejeff has ever made has had the fly leg descend below the rod leg. This is caused, of, course, by gravity. In my short casts here, you see an extremely slow line speed with a very short casting arc. That's why the fly leg descends below the rod leg. You'll note that the rod tip went through a straight line path in these casts. How do we know that? The fly leg is straight: it doesn't show the concavity that it would have to show if it were tailing. One reason so many people think of these as tailing loops is because of an error in Mel Krieger's book, "The Essence of Fly-Casting." Mel has a photo of a cast that looks much like mine in these clips, but mistakenly labeled it as tailing.Mel didn't have the benefit of slow-motion video then. It was an easy error to make when he wrote the book, in the mid-80's, I think. By the way, I think Mel's description of how to avoid the tail in his book was great. It was only the photo that was miscaptioned. By the way, nearly every pickup-into-a-backcast that we make is a tailing loop if we accept that my casts here are tails. You can only avoid the crossing of loops on said pickup when making a Very short cast.

Are the loops tailing?
