Have you ever been on the water and struggled with casting in the wind?

Maybe things were going great and then the wind started kicking up.

Fish were feeding but you couldn't make that cast, that perfect cast to hook up with those big fish.

And what if I told you there were some easy drills you could do in your yard just 30 minutes a week to prepare you to have more success on the water.

My guest today is a certified casting instructor and coaches people both online and in person

and is going to help us level up our accuracy and distance flycasting this year.

This is the Webfly Swing podcast where I show you the best places to travel to for fly fishing, how to find the best resources and tools to prepare for that big trip and what you can do to give back to the fish species we all love. How's it going? I'm Dave, host of the Wet Fly Swing podcast. I've been fly fishing since I was a little kid. I grew up around a fly shop and have created one of the largest fly fishing podcasts in this country.

I've also interviewed more of the greatest fly anglers, casting anglers, than just about anyone

out there in the world.

Kaelin Hoggard is here, a certified casting instructor and record chasing brown trout

master.

He's going to give us some tips in his favorite casting drills to have better success on the water this year.

You will find out how to determine your max carry when casting, how to determine the max line that you can carry.

And a drill around that exercise.

We're going to find out when to haul for the most speed out there, when to do the

double haul, when to actually do it. You're going to learn about the arc and how to know when

to increase your arc or decrease your arc. And we're also going to get Bruce Richards' six-step

analysis system. The Bruce Richards, the system. This is going to be awesome plus did I mention that

Kaelin is a brown trout hunter and has landed fish over 40 inches all right let's see
