Casting and Mending -- Dry Fly Skills Series #4
Manage episode 436205192 series 2982563
Our discussion here is about casting dry flies, and that’s where all good fly casting starts. With a dry fly, there’s no weight at the end of the line to help us out. No split shot, no tungsten bead, conehead or bobber. Refining the dry fly stroke truly teaches us what the fly rod is built to do.
Ten and two. Acceleration and crisp stops between two points. Pause and allow turnover to happen. Feel the rod load and watch it all happen with the fly line in the air. Once you have that timing, your baseline is set, and you can take that same stroke to any rod angle, punching the fly around and laying things out just how you want them with a few adjustments.
Good mending is setup by good casting. Put the two together, and you can feed slack to a dry fly for perfect drag free drifts.
Having command over all of that . . . is a lot of fun.
My friend, Matt Grobe, joins me to for a great discussion on casting and mending dry flies.
