Casting Shooting Heads

Many anglers new to Baja Fly fishing struggle casting the lines commonly used here. Dan Blanton gives a great explanation of the technique used to cast lines on his web page:

The Shooting Head Casting Basics

Jim Teeny has a good video on his page that is also useful.

It is not difficult to cast the heavy sink tip shooting heads but I strongly recommend practicing on the water before your first trip. It is much harder to learn standing on a rocking deck with fish crashing all around you.
