Summary

Every fly caster seems to want to cast the longest possible cast. Whether it is actually to catch a fish or to impress your friends at the barbecue, the desire to cast the whole line or deep into the backing is something that many people ask about. Now, I don’t think that you have to be able to cast far to land lots of fish, but if you practice your distance casting and can have control of your fly line, it will drastically help your line control at shorter distances. Back in 1998, I won the Best of the West casting competition, casting a standard 5wt fly rod 131 feet. In this episode we go over some secrets and tricks that I use to cast this far. You may notice that much of distance casting isn’t all casting technique but also line preparation. Soon I hope to make a full video going through the casting motions, but if you have any questions right now, shoot me a text 305-930-7346 This podcast is presented by Black Rifle Coffee Use code BLASTOFF25 for 25% off If you have questions or suggestions for the show you can text Tom at 1 305-930-7346 This episode has been brought to you by Waypoint TV.

0:46.7	casting a lot of people that pick up a fly rod the first thing they want to do is
0:51.3	cast it as far as they possibly can.
0:54.2	Now, you don't have to cast as far as you possibly can.
0:59.5	I want to preface this podcast by saying that being able to cast the entire fly line is a great
1:07.1	thing to be able to do but not that many fish are caught at that distance. So it is not necessary that you be able to
1:18.6	cast a hundred feet or a hundred and ten feet to be able to catch a lot of fish. Most fish are going to be caught
1:26.1	between 30 and 60 feet in saltwater. However, distance casting is important because it develops control of the fly line and if you can
1:41.0	cast a hundred feet with pretty decent accuracy and you can do it consistently.
1:46.0	You're going to be developing the skills so that if you need to cast 50 feet, you're going to be able to do it much more comfortably, much more
1:54.3	confidently, and for that reason I do agree with practicing distance casting with
2:01.8	your fly ride and that's what we're going to talk about today.
2:04.0	Now I was on a podcast just the other day called the February room and I want to thank them
2:08.2	for inviting me over there and when they were doing the research on me and whatever kind of background they needed,
2:16.5	they looked up in one of the things that's on my bio is that I cast a standard five-weight fly rod in line 130 feet, 131 feet I think to win this one
