Casting

Stepping into the Stream

Review: A video about women fly fishing, and not just about fly fishing, but also about connecting with nature and themselves.

Don't wade, you idiot!

Stay dry: Why do many anglers stomp into the water and spook every fish in close distance before they even lay out their first cast? GFF partner Martin Joergensen recommends staying on land.
Read why in this article.

Arctic Silver Free Flex

A video about "the most advanced and versatile tool", an "epic and innovative" fly rod (actually "the world's most innovative"). Well, we have heard such praise before, and for now I can only say: man, that handle is ugly! But the video is really nice.
Smoky Mountain Fly Fishing

The Smoky Mountains are as old as time and remain one of the last few wild trout refuges in the Eastern United States.
Casts that catch fish : fly casting instruction
See video in full resolution
Casts that Catch Fish, a new fly casting instructional video from Master Fly Casting Instructor Carl McNeil that turns the instructional DVD genre on it's head and gives it a well needed kick up the ass! Stunning shots by super clever cameraman Earl Kingi. It's all there and executed with super high production values, ear tingling audio and plenty of slick effects and animations - courtesy of the funky people at On the Fly productions.
Revolution

Crazy as ever and now on video! Sexy Loops has a trailer out for the DVD called "Revolution". Looks good and, eh... different.

If there's a thing called fish porn, this is the cum shot compilation (if you'll pardon my French!). One long row of fish taking flies. Neat!

About "Casting" from Blog Creek – GFF's weblog
· Tupperware-party with fly rods - We had some fun tonight with a bunch of CTS-rods built by Danish Ussing & Bech
· New shooting line - I don't change my habits easily, but this shooting line may be something I will start using
· Casting instruction instruction - No, it's not an error. It's supposed to say instruction instruction. I want someone to instruct casting instructors

  
 Go to LL Bean Book
LL Bean Book
The L.L. Bean Ultimate Book of Fly Fishing is comprised of three previously published books - Dave Whitlock's Fly-Fishing Handbook, Macauley Lord's Fly-Casting Handbook, and Dick Talleur's Fly-Tying Handbook, all well known L.L. Bean publications.

Advanced Kreh
I wouldn't expect to see the definition of double taper or weight forward lines in an "advanced techniques" book. That is pretty basic stuff. Would I expect to see a discussion of the merits of a large arbor reel vs standard arbor? Yeah. In this book, however, we got the former but not the latter.
  
 Go to Kreh on casting
Kreh on casting
If, while fishing, you have to deal with wind coming from various directions, you have to make a quick cast to a specific target, change direction, or cast for a bit of distance, this book by Lefty Kreh will teach you a thing or two.

The Overlooked Asset
When fly fishing, your prime assets are not the hardware you are using or the new, neat casting style you learned - it is something far less physical.
  
 Go to Shooting heads
Shooting heads
In this article I will try to cover some advantages and disadvantages of the shooting head over the WF line, and I will thoroughly describe the way you can configure a good shooting head system for your rod. The article will teach you how to calculate, make and trim a shooting head. It will also tell you how to cast it - just on the introductory level.
Common casting errors
In the following little animations I will show you the most common casting errors. I observe these errors very often, but with a little practice it is very simple to correct the causes for these errors. If you know the reason for such an error it is easy to kill the cause through excercises, believe me.

The Essence of Flycasting
This book is very stylish, kind of mellow in the visual tone and held in beautiful B/W. People who have met Krieger (or seen his videos) will know that he is not excactly B/W. On the opposite: he's a colorfull, enthusiastic, noisy, acting-all-kinds-of-roles type of instructor.
