Fly Cast Coach
Fly Casting Guides
Step-by-step guides to the overhead, roll, jump roll, single Spey and double Spey casts, plus the double haul, casting arc, wrist control and tracking.
Start with the overhead cast — every other cast either borrows from it or exists to get around it. The roll and Spey casts are for when there's no room behind you; the skills below sharpen all of them.
The casts
Overhead Cast
Learn the overhead fly cast step by step — grip, lift, backcast, pause and delivery — plus how to practise it at home without a rod, line or water.
Roll Cast
Learn the fly-fishing roll cast step by step — anchor, D-loop, and delivery — for tight banks with no room for a backcast, plus how to practise it at home.
Jump Roll Cast
Learn the dynamic jump roll cast — also known as the switch cast or dynamic roll cast — for extra distance on tight banks, plus how to practise it at home.
Single Spey Cast
Learn the single Spey cast step by step — the quickest change-of-direction cast for a downstream wind — plus how to practise the movement at home.
Double Spey Cast
Learn the double Spey cast step by step — the waterborne-anchor cast for an upstream wind — plus how to practise the movement at home.
Skills that sharpen every cast
Double Haul
Learn the double haul — the line-hand technique that adds real distance to any fly cast — and how to practise the timing at home.
Casting Arc
Learn how to match your casting arc to line length — compact for a short line, wider for a long one — plus how to practise it at home.
Wrist Control
Learn why wrist timing — not wrist strength — makes or breaks a fly cast, and how to practise it at home.
Tracking
Learn why tracking — keeping the rod in one straight plane through the whole cast — matters for tight loops and accuracy, plus how to practise it at home.
