Struggling to get the timing right on your double haul? Join Pat Ryan on the water as he breaks down this essential fly casting technique, helping you build line speed, cast further and improve your casting in windy conditions.
Pat walks you through the double haul step by step, from practising a single haul to linking your back cast and forward cast into a smooth, controlled rhythm. He explains why a solid basic cast comes first, how to time your haul with the rod’s final acceleration and stop, and how to return your line hand between hauls.
You’ll also learn how to shoot line for extra distance while maintaining control, adjust your haul for short and long casts, and avoid common mistakes that create slack and disrupt your casting.
Start slowly, focus on timing, and build up to a fluid double haul. Grab your fly rod, head onto the grass or water, and give it a go.
