The grip is the most fundamental part of your fly cast.
When I’m helping someone with their casting, their grip is always the first thing I look at. The grip is so basic that many anglers never take time to learn it. A bad grip has effects that ripple out through your casting. Even if you have a good grip, you may be using it wrong. It’s more common than you’d think. In fact, I struggled with it myself for years.
Don’t let your grip slow you down. Take some time to learn the best way to hold the rod and work on it when you practice your casting. It will pay you back in more fish.

Good tip, Louis. Whenever I’m think about energy flowing through my thumb on top, inevitability I get a tighter loop, better accuracy and more distance with less actual power applied. I’m going out to practice. Thanks!
