Casting

Casting is where fly fishing is won or lost: the rod, the line and your timing decide whether the fly lands where the fish are. Two pieces live in this section, and they work well together.

• FFI Fly Casting Definitions (2025 Edition) — Fly Fishers International’s shared vocabulary for loops, planes, stroke length and the physics behind them, kept complete as a reference.
• The Double Haul: Timing, Line Speed, and the Three Faults That Kill It — how the haul really adds line speed, the moment it has to stop, and the three timing faults that quietly cost you distance.

Reach for the definitions when a term is unfamiliar, and for the double haul when you want more distance with less effort.
