Overall Rating:
Poor value,
September 27, 2012
By: osprey
from CA
"Although the video did make some valid and useful points on casting technique, the amount of information contained would make this video a reasonable value at about $10. At two and a half times that amount, definitely not a good value."

Poor Quality,

from Idaho Falls, ID
"I found the information contained on the DVD to be very usefull. My low rating is based on the picture quality of the DVD not the instructional quality. The video was not sharp and clear. The Orvis iPhone app is a lot better."

Waste of Money,

"If you've been on a river a few times, don't even bother with this. Very short, no real application scenarios, just a waste of time and money really."

"For most of my hobbies, learning has been a three stage process. First stage: read everything possible about the subject. Second stage: watch video/DVD/u-tube. Third stage: get professional instruction first hand.
For example: I've been basically self taught in fly casting; learning from photographs from various books including those published by Orivs. This DVD is an between step (second stage) in my fly casting learning process. It answered most of my questions that I had accumulated over the years about the different types of basic fly casts by allowing me to analyze the cast (due to it's DVD nature). The next step is take a class form the Orivs School. At least now I will prepared for the Orvis School and ask (hopefully) intelligent questions to their experts. Enjoy!
Remember that G-d created six times as much water than dry land, so it is clearly seen that G-d meant for us to fish six times as much as we work."

"I purchased this video to not only brush up on my own fly casting techniques, but also because I was going to be helping/teaching a friend on his first fly fishing excursion. This video was a great place to start and get the fly fishing verbiage flowing! Combined with orvis's introductory books, this made for a great gift for a first time fly fisherman and it even taught me a thing or do in the process."

Good Casting Primer,
July 2, 2008
By: RafT
from Los Angeles, CA
"Although I recommend all beginners (and intermediates) take a casting class, this video does a fine job of explaining and demonstrating the basics. In fact, I still watch it before every outing. It would have been nice, however, to see the casts also demonstrated on a stream etc."

Fundamental not Flashy,
November 5, 2007
By: RedheadSteelhead
from On the Rogue River, Oregon
"This video does just what it says - concentrates on the basics of fly casting. There is very little info on selecting gear, reading the water, or matching the hatch. If you're like me and just need the fundamentals drilled into your reflexive musculature, buy this video and watch it every week at least."
