  1. Big flies? The big flies in my kit are 6″ to 7″ long with a 7/0 hook somewhere or other in the feathers and fluff on 14 or 15wt singlehanded rods.

    Slightly smaller are 3/0 Barra Bunnys (like a Tarpon Crush) on an 8wt or 6″ articulated Poppers on a 10wt or 12wt depending on the wind resistance.

    So there is very little or no water hauling and the cast is the constant tension or Belgium Cast.

    2/0 Clousers are easy on a 10wt or 12wt.

    Reckon that’s pretty good for an old bloke. Cheers.

  2. Tim Rajeff is a fly casting genius – and a phenomenal teacher.
    That is a rare combination. Give us more.

    I have read about the “Italian” casting style. Any help here?

    • Rest assured Rick, there will be more from Tim in the future. We love doing these casting vids with him. He’s a blast to work with!

  3. Tim’s advice is inspirational, and it’s truly a gift that you offer his excellent videos to those of us who are “self-taught” casters. It’s the “little” tips he shares that can make a big difference in casting efficiency and effectiveness–a never-ending challenge based on varying conditions and circumstances. The advice he offers in this video works especially well when casting heavy Merkins to permit in the Keys.
