As soon as an angler has actually discovered the standard cast and how to shoot line, the next action is mastering the double haul, which assists to produce more line speed and permits longer casts. Many casters have no issue with the haul itself– in which the line hand moves far from the rod– however getting the line hand to then return to the rod to get ready for the next haul can be bothersome. It is essential to bear in mind that each haul– on both the back- and forward casts– is a two-step procedure: haul, then return.
In this valuable video from Trident Fly Fishing, Topher Browne discusses a typical error that brand-new anglers make, that makes the return harder, and provides a remarkably easy service: attempt a much shorter haul.
For a total conversation of the double haul, have a look at Pete Kutzer’s videos on the topic here and here.
