Amazing demonstration of casting faults and what can go wrong. There are almost no videos as clear and helpful as this! It takes real awareness to actively trigger some of these more subtle faults on command - excellent job on all fronts!

[@WideOpenOutdoorFilm]

Thanks, Lars is a great teacher.

[@matswesen2713]

This is the absolute best video on Fly Casting Faults and Fixes. It incredibly insightful to understanding how to develop a quality, efficient cast that makes fly fishing even more enjoyable. Thank you!

Nice job. Ive been casting flyrods for almost 65 years. I had one lesson swinging wet flies. The rest I figured out on my own. Do I still make poor casts? Sure, Do the fish care? Not very much. The idea is to have fun. Definition of expert
Ex is a hasbeen. Spert is a drip inder pressure.

I had a problem of over powering on windy days and creating a power loop. It all makes sense now.

[@WideOpenOutdoorFilm]

Great - Lars is an excellent instructor.

[@andrewj.karaffa7080]

Fantastic, you have identified all the things I do wrong. Now, I just need to correct them. Occasionally, I will get 1 or 2 real solid casts. The rest, just like this video....spaghetti.

[@WideOpenOutdoorFilm]

I'm glad it was helpful!

[@hakanandersson8340]

Tack!

[@WideOpenOutdoorFilm]

Tak, Lars er en meget dygtig instruktør.

[@shaun3276]

This video gave me so many great points but the “Bad tracking” gave me the solution to what I need! Hopefully a lot less water slapping and hook injuries from now on! 😅

[@WideOpenOutdoorFilm]

Great, thanks for your comment

I need all of the help that I can get. Thanks for your expertise and instructions.

Thanks, Lars is a very good instructor.

[@user-np2gr9io5y]

I think it's amusing how many instructors default to double hauling while teaching. I cant even single haul yet 😬

[@WideOpenOutdoorFilm]

Practising :-)

[@joergbutz7243]

Excellent video - thank you! The 'drift' solved my problem. QUESTION: what brand and size reel are you using in this video ? Thanks again.

[@WideOpenOutdoorFilm]

Very glad it helped! Lars is an excellent instructor. He uses a Waterworks fly reel, but I don't think this model is available anymore.

[@fmsquad9414]

Can Lars advise if bad tracking can result in line twist? Thanks

[@stanwilson1189]

Hi Lars in NZ we cast large weighted nymphs and they are difficult to cast what would you recommend a Belgian cast ? thanks Stan

[@nichtverstehen2045]

I'm confused about that six steps method, e.g. there is more than one cause for tailing loop. How do I as inexperienced caster tell which one I have to fix. It's obvious for you because you intentionally make it happen but there is no straight way from consequences back to a reason.

[@WideOpenOutdoorFilm]

May I suggest that you watch the whole movies 1 and 2 several times:
czcams.com/video/oeaYk32MprI/video.html
czcams.com/video/fdy517rNLIs/video.html
And better, join an experienced fly caster.

[@wisdom942]

no glasses. not smart.

[@WideOpenOutdoorFilm]

You are right, but if you watch both full length videos - Casting that Fly 1 & 2 - you will see Lars telling that you always need to wear glasses, but in this instruction video, there is not a hook tied to the leader. And the camera man don't like people talking directly to the camera through sunglasses 😊
