{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Casting Instructor Instruction Video (tailing loops)

That is a good one -- thanks for sharing it.  I like Tim Rajeff's explanation of tailers also.
 
Lefty has an article that I very much disagree with regarding tailing loops.  Actually, I'd say his explanation is flat wrong.  He argues that most tailing loops result from raising the elbow during the backcast and then lowering it on the forward cast....which might be problematic for some people (obviously it is for Lefty) but if it were true, a lot of the best fly casters in the world would throw nothing but tailing loops (basically all of the elbow-forward casters I've seen would fall into this group).

I found a neat video.  It is aimed at teaching people to become casting instructors, but it has the best explanation of tailing loops I've seen and their multiple causes.
