The Casting Coach...

Lefty Kreh Quotes

"The position of your feet is… critical to good fly casting. For a very short cast, you only need to move the arm. For longer casts, the body should move fluidly."

"Never make a cast until all the line is free of the water."

"You can't make a cast (backcast or forward cast) until you get the end of the line moving."

"The line and fly will travel in the direction that the rod tip speeds up and stops at the end of the cast."

"As soon as the speed-up-and-stop occurs, the direction of the cast has been determined."

"If the rod hand comes forward parallel to the water and the speed-up-and-stop finishes with the thumb pointing straight ahead, the top of the loop remains on the top."

"The size of your loop is determined by the length of the speed-up-and-stop at the end of a cast."

"A small loop causes most of the energy to be directed away from or toward the target."

"Remember: No cast can be made until you move the end of the fly line."
