When you watch the highly skilled fly casters at work you will notice one thing. They are all throwing the line with a nice tapered 9 foot leader at the front. With such a set up you can demonstrate tight loop casting perfectly.
And I can do the same.
Yet in the real world of reservoir fishing where you are often chucking a line 30 yards from the bank with a leader of up to 20 feet with up to 3 flies on it, the concept of achieving tight loops goes out of the door. I would like to see the fly casting instructors demonstrate this sort of casting.
The art of opening the loop is seldom discussed, yet the ability to cast with a very long leader will put many trout on the bank for you.
It's time we started to talk about open loops, not tight loops.
What do you think?
