Nice fly but I think he should have stressed the importance of timing in he cast, He never mentioned to the guy fishing for him to pause and give the line time to create the loop during the back cast. I really do like the pattern he tied though
Kudos to the guide. His expierience level is obvious. I share a similar story with him and it was excellent to learn some of the teaching techniques that he uses. Also an awesome example of how fun top water bass fishing can be.He wasn't instructing the client to bend his wrist at all he just wasn't sweating the small stuff. He was doing a good job of creating a positive learning atmosphere. He gave proper instruction and even mentioned keeping a straight wrist. His example of flicking paint onto a canvas is a great way to describe to someone the energy the are trying to transfer into the rod.
My man LOVED this Fly Fishing t shirt! He is 6'5 and 250 lbs and I ordered him a 3X. It fits him great and its really good quality! We will definitely order again!
I knew a guy who fished for Grass Eating Carp on Lake Conroe in Texas. He went to where the golf course dumped their lawn clippings and threw a fly he tied that looked like a clump of grass. He called it a St. Augustine Emerger.
This was painful to watch, good for the guide keeping calm. He'd get more distance if he kept his reel facing the same direction of his cast, the line will slide through the eyes easier.
Got a question for you guys, I bought a 8wt to throw some large poppers and I just can't get the hang of casting with the rod it feels like I'm throwing a brick, I have a 4wt and a 5wt that I like and can cast very well, I guess my question is do I really need an 8wt or can I take use a 6wt. In my area we are just fishing for bass, bluegills, trout white and yellow perch, any help would be appreciated.
i was originally taught to lock the wrist, as you get better and get your timing down, you will snap the wrist to get more distance. specially when you start double hauling. the second you think you can cast well, put the graphite down and pick up a fiberglass rod.
The guide did an excellent job. I completely understand why he had you snap your wrist. His job for the day was to put you on fish, not to give proper casting instruction. He had you casting a bigger sized wind resistant popper 15' – 20' in no time. Kudos to him. Most people have no idea how tough that trip was for a guide. He was incredibly patient. He has a very bright future in guiding.
Very enjoyable video and I am a veteran fly fisherman. I scrolled down but didn't see any comments from Roland Martin. I'm sure he'd enjoy your video, too. 🙂
Strange…. here in Europe we never use our wrist, because it will give you pain after a few years, we lurn our selfs to start the cast just like you answer the phone, with a stiff wrist nothing else. good video though 🙂 awsome guide
It depends on the depth, with a short leader the fly wont get down deep which is more suited for trout, because you cant fish cover for bass with a fly rod (for obvious reasons), you have to find structures in the middle of the water, and get the fly down to it. (or at least close to it).

Tito, you should create a guide profile here: http://www.flydreamers.com
A nice, true to life, video of a beginner fly fisherman and his tutor/ guide.
All those who are slating the technique have, clearly, never been a beginner at anything – you were all born instant experts!

What weight was the fly rod that you were using?

What is the name of the fly he tied earlier in the video?

Sorry but i disnt think his technique or how he talked was good i know how to FF but he made it extreamly confusing
Jerk that rod man! Like you own it!!
excellent guide. Very calm and helpful demeanor. You could tell he knew his stuff. I'd book him.
I think i would like to try fly fishing, and see the difference between snapping your wrist and keeping it stiff….but it looks cool
prima di pescare bisognerebbe imparare a lanciare !!

Brake finger! LOL!
I was always under the impression that you should keep your wrist tight and use your forearm
good video.
I love it I really like to try it

With your technique it succeeds
