How you grip the rod has a HUGE impact in the result of your cast!  The nice thing is however, once  you understand the effects it has you can vary your grip for unique situations and following these simple tricks will improve your fly casting by leaps and bounds. 


  1. Thanks, Joe, for those excellent tips! This is the first Red's blog I've seen that particularly addresses casting, so I hope there are more to follow. Of specific interest to me is how to form tight loops for accuracy and casting in the wind, so perhaps you can address that in a future blog. Thanks again!
