#1 How to Fix Tailing Loops - Casting - The New Fly Fisher
video description
whithin teaching fly casting to over 3000 students during the past 20 years I didn't have a single one trying to stop the rod at 12 o'clock like Peter does in order to demonstrate a tailing loop. Especially when aiming for distance or dealing with wind (increasing line speed) students tend to widen the arc instead of shortening it as Peter claims in his demo.
Also -too short of a stroke- never causes a tailing loop. If the stroke ever would be chosen too short, then line speed would get too low. No more than that!
This is good video quality, but the teaching doesn't match the real causes. Am sorry for being such straight, but you can't help students without first understanding the causes for whatever tailing issue they bring.

Tell your camera operator to back/panorama out more and stay there. What use is it to see your face and once now and then a part of the rod passes by. The camera did back out a bit but not enough to see the line the whole time. Most of the time I see part of the rod except when it-s parallell with the ground. Whats the point of looking for something to help when one of the major components are out of the picture. Except for that little thing it was a good demonstration.

If you have a good feel of what's going on with the rod, you can tell when the fly line straightens out behind you after you stop the back cast. When you feel that slight -tug- of the full weight of the line, you can start forward. This works with almost any length of cast you're doing.

I get a lot of flies hooking the loop attach point for leader to the fly line. It's funny, too. because my casting is usually really good early in the day and it gets worse as I fish longer. You'd think it would be the other way around. I must get lazy as time passes.

Tailing loops are caused when the back cast and forecast are separated by less the 180 degrees. High back cast and regular forecast does it every time.

Pete is still my favorite casting instructor I have seen. Smooth, well thought out and just a good teacher.
