Fly Casting 101: How to Make a Curve Cast

Producer: MIDCURRENT

How Do You Make a Curve Cast?

Need help with fly fishing casting? Jeff Wagner demonstrates how to change planes while fly casting, and specifically how to make a curve cast. A curve cast enables an angler to place the line and leader on the water with an upstream curve, which helps to prevent drag and ensures that the first thing a fish will see on the downstream float is the fly.
