Words of Wisdom from Lefty

Sorry for the delay in posting. Had technical issues for a day or two when an industrial truck snipped the cable connection that runs across the street in front of our house.
The above videos are from Lefty Krey, fly casting guru and one of the best teachers I've seen. The vid on top shows how to use your body, not just your arm, when you fly cast. This important for anyone making the transition from freshwater to salt, where the casts are longer and the rods are heavier. Casting with your arm doesn't get it done. You need momentum to get a big stick moving. Using your body helps avoid fatigue and improves overall form.
Video two shows how to fix a tailing loop, a big nemesis of mine. Lefty's message: Extend the casting stroke. Scrape the thumbnail on the ceiling for a straight path of the rod tip. Easier said than done.
