ORVIS - Fly Casting Lessons - Fixing Tailing Loops
ฝัง

- A tailing loop is when the top leg of the casting loop falls below the bottom leg. This causes the two legs to cross, which is a recipe for disaster. Tailing loops are a common fly casting problem, but it doesn't take too much work to get your casting back on track. The main causes of tailing loops are overpowering, the forward cast, using too short a casting stroke, or trying too hard to "punch" the final cast for more distance.
Peter Kutzer, head instructor of the Manchester, Vermont, ORVIS Fly Fishing School is here to help you decode and fix exactly why your having trouble with tailing loops in your cast. Peter explains what you need to do to fix these problems and create a smooth loop to reduce tangles.

I am learning fly Casting and your third tip with the Casting lenght helps me a lot. I create tailing Loops because i stop too early. With my #8 i definately Need to cast Longer!
Rod/reel combo with fishing kit as an emergency setup th-cam.com/users/postUgkxntWMOZsO1Zfv-pdn_XuffEtNkTYAYu4Z recommend but started to use this every day. The rod is thick and seems durable. I keep it neatly tucked into a regular backpack all the time with my fishing gear, and can grab it anytime, put it on my back and go anywhere. I just read in another review that the rod length below the reel is adjustable as well, so I will try that too for even more portability. Probably the best setup I've ever owned. I lost the cap for the eyelets, but no big deal since I still have the black cloth sheath that came for the pole and I use that. Very portable and high quality.
There isn't a cast you need to know that Pete can't make look so amazingly easy! 🎣🙌
without fail everytime I have an issue with my cast you have a video to fix it. well done
You nailed my error, breaking my wrist too much acceleration… thank you Sir!
Extremely helpful video! Thanks!
Thank you - this really helps!! ...back to reviewing basics LOL!!
How do you cast with a reel that has no drag its a rim control reel it free spins both ways how can I cast when it just spins out line
Nice concept, but the camera is too close, and so we don't actually see any of the loops as they're being discussed.
How to cast from sit in kayak.
Pretty sure this is how I am messing up my casts while fly fishing
Tailing loops are not caused by overpowering the rod. They are caused by the rod tip dipping during the cast. Keep your thumb moving in a slight arc. If you do that you can put as much power into the cast as you want.
I have learned so much from you and your excellent skills as a instructor. Thanks for all your videos and expertise
i messed my leader with so many twist i was almost screaming. thx
I was screaming in the wood, LOL
Thanks Pete for sharing your knowledge. It will help anglers understand some causes of the tailing loop and become more efficient casters.
I'd like to come up for casting lessons, but the August 2016 class was cancelled. Are there private lessons available ?
I have to say that without these videos I would probably not be fly fishing as often as I do with as much passion as I have. Thank you for all the help.
Great reply!
This was my frustration today. I had to rebuild my leader 4 times. The more knots and cuts I made, the more frustration I had. Which caused even more. Had to just go home.
I was doing the first and third. Trying to overpower a short stroke to fire the line out. Guess I can't do that lol.
Had this happen to me today worse than normal. I was doing 2/3 things mentioned. Explained very well, thanks
Thanks for the great video. The only thing I would like to see is the issue of an obstacle of say a rising bank, some vegetation or a hedge or wall behind the caster thus forcing the caster to have a much higher back cast. All casting instruction videos conveniently (Rio etc) leave this problem out either demonstrating whist stood in the middle of a river or in a flat field. Cheers DW
THANK you very much im an amateur at fly fishing i've fly fished like 2 Times and i get that problem Every time these videos are very useful thanks for reading
Is the cameraman a fly fisherman? He's trying to show us what happens at the back of the backcast, but the camera keeps cropping out the line. Its like the cameraman has no idea what we are trying to see!
Boring that i havent got any fish yet ;) well its probably because of all the tailing loops
I wondered what caused those tailing loops but now i know thanks again
Thanks Pete, much appreciated.

Thanks for share.
Too much wrist on the forward cast causing tailing loop. What be be the fix for that type of casting error.
If you have too much wrist, get a rod/cuff combination where you can put the rod butt into your cuff. That will get your the feel of not breaking the wrist. There is a casting aid that does the same thing, but you probably already own a cuff.
Such an awesome instructor, thank you Pete. I’ve been noticing that lately I’ve been getting those annoying knots. This is a great refresher , I guess tailing loops are like the yips in golf , They can even creep up on the experienced casters
You Orvis instructors are really weak on your biology, but we Love your casting advice!!! thanks a bunch from a casting cave man!
Both 1 and 2 were misapplication of power. Number 1 was more common where rotation happened early in the stroke aiding the over power. One of the most common actions that cause these tailing loops wasn't mentioned and that's creep....when your rod hand unknowingly travels forward before you make the forward cast.....effectively narrowing the casting arc. You could also get a tailing loop by breaking the 180 degree rule.....the back cast and forward cast need to stay at 180 degrees. So, if you have a headwind where you want a high back cast you then have a low forward cast......opposite for a tail wind.
