Here’s the next video in Orvis casting instructor Pete Kutzer’s series on getting started in fly fishing. Pete discusses one of the more contentious subjects in fly casting: whether or not there’s a “right” way to do it. Some folks will say, “You need to lock your wrist,” while others will maintain that a little wrist is necessary. And so on. But as Pete says, at the heart of any fly cast is a basic, simple thing: the rod must move and then stop. If you can accomplish smooth acceleration to a hard stop, then you can cast a fly rod, no matter what your wrist is doing. (But don’t try Pete’s behind-the-back trick on the water.)
