Charlie Reading explains how to avoid the Tailing Loop in your fly cast.

Charlie Reading explains how to avoid the dreaded "Tailing Loop" while fly casting.

I watch a lot of youtube tutorial videos and I have to say that these 3 minutes were probably the most helpful out of anything I've watched.

Thanks for your time to make this!!

Had to rewind to see that roll cast again, man that was clean. Good stuff all around

Finally! A video which shows the REAL reason for throwing railing loops. I’ve watched many videos of experts pointing out different casting flaws, tailing loops being one of them and this is really THE cause for me throwing them. You’ll hear about short strokes and concave tip travel path but that is not what most people throwing tailing loops do. Thank you! One problem with your video- Place the camera on your left side so we can all see what your casting arm is doing! You’re blocking the view!

As a brand new angler my buddy and myself stopped into his shop. He was testing out rod and just like this video we were amazed at his casting. Charlie is like a Jedi master of fly casting.

Charlie is a wealth of fly fishing knowledge. Stop by his store near lebanon, MO.

I’m a simple man. When Charlie Redding talk, I listen.

Amen! I can cast up a storm in my front yard, double hauling til my hearts content. On the double dropper is tangled every other cast, and the fear of that leads me to over complicate my motion and it's all downhill from there. Can't wait to try this

[berndziesche]

From all poor YT tailing loop videos this is a better one. It doesn't cover all causes for tailing issues but it at least covers one main cause in a proper way.

This guy is very knowledgeable on casting. Great videos 💯

[goneyellow]

Great stuff. You make it look sooo easy. Thanks.

Shame you didn't stand the other side of the camera when you were demonstrating what causes the tailing loop - the viewer cannot see your casting arm because it is obscured by your body.

[IsleofWightBushcraft]

Hat is a great bit of insight, appreciTe the tip. Now I know why I occasionally get those loops.

[jamesa]

so I deal with throwing tailing loops when I get into distance, basically you're stating as long as you follow through with the elbow, forearm then wrist ( keeping the wrist locked through out the stroke) with the wrist essentially a late rotation. making sure I'm getting this right.

[sergiohanda]

Great explanation! What fly line use? Tks!

[gardenerfisher]

Having a left handed caster filmed from the right hand side means that I could see nothing. All I got was a very self satisfied man showing off.

He is throwing too heavy of a line. My daughter can cast perfectly with that set up. Absolutely zero precision.
