Great Casting Tips/Demo Videos
Ok so I'm sure a lot of you ( like me ) think you're a good enough caster, and don't really want to watch videos on casting or improving your casting... partly because a lot of them, in my opinion, are pretty boring, and rubbishy presented...
Anyway, once I got over my own ego, and realised ( again... short term memory loss.. ) just how much enjoyment I get from actually casting, and casting well in certain situations, which in tern always leads to a good fishing day, and just how much I still had to learn, and how I will be learning for as long as I'm casting a fly rod, I did a bit of looking around... with a lekker trip coming up this weekend that might well require some more "technical" casts than usual, I figured I'd delve a little deeper... Anyway, I came across the guys from On the Fly Productions ( http://www.ontheflyproductions.com) and a bunch of their videos demonstrating techniques on different casts etc...
Worth checking out their Youtube channel, because they have great visuals, super well shot and explained, and if you looking at improving techniques for specific casts and situations, they are brilliant...
Here is their YouTube Page:

Anyway, I learnt a bunch... despite nearly 30 years of flying feathers, 20 minutes watching those clips and the explanations improved my approach and no doubt my casting...

I sat on a New York underground train, chatting to a local radio station host.
he wanted to show me some photos about the radio station, and took out his digital camera.
Every photo he opened was of his wife posing for him in negligees.
The more he searched the "better" the poses got. after 5 or 6 photos, very embarresed he said " I think we better stop at this photo"

Haha Korrie that's classic!! Interesting times!
Nepps I have that DVD and it is pretty awesome! A whack load of casts that I have never used which I need lots of practice on!

I have watched some of these videos before on Youtube, the oke's explanation on the roll cast has helped me a lot. Especially the way he explained the D-loop and timing aspects.
Very good videos I found.
Good post and thanks for the link.
Cheers
