What’s wrong with my cast?
I’m trying to teach myself how to fly fish, I’ve watched every video and have been trying for several hours to learn how to cast, yet it’s still absolutely awful. I would really appreciate any help.
Also yes I know I’m fat asf I’m in the process of losing it, hopefully getting on the water once I can actually cast will help to speed it up.
Edit:
Thank you all for all the comments. Trying to learn to cast a fly rod has been humbling, and so has a lot of the comments on this post. I've read all of them and they were all helpful.
Looking back at the video after a few hours I can see how insanely slow it is, my biggest takeaways from watching the cast on video and also all the comments is I think I need to use a lot less wrist and a lot more elbow, pick up the speed, and make harder stops.
I've commented this a few times, but I had seen in a lot of videos and articles online that a big issue with people learning was that they cast way too fast, so I think I just overdid it by a lot.
