Scandinavian fly guides

A huge and extremely warm welcome to Henrik Wallberg & Joel Gustafsson - our two latest additions to the Epic Ambassador team.

Henrik and Joel are responsible for Scandinavian Fly Guides - a top class guiding operation run out of Sweden. These guys have been hugely supportive of Swift and our Epic fly rods, we're very grateful and fortunate to have them be part of our Epic Family.
You can follow the "Scandi Fly Guides" adventures in the Toutlands on Instagram & Facebook (Lots of terrific pictures on their Instagram feed)
And if you are looking for a premium Fly fishing experience make sure you look them up on their website http://www.scandiflyguides.com/

Henrik Wallberg
Founder and guide at Scandinavian Fly Fishing Guides, river keeper and fishing inspector. Henrik guides, arrange courses and hosts trips in Sweden, Norway, Slovenia, Scotland.
"When not guiding I hunt anything with spots and an adipose fin; trout, arctic char, sea run brown trout, Atlantic salmon, baltic salmon. About 200 days on the water each season. Born again glass aficionado."

Joel Gustafsson
Way too good of an angler for his age. Joel works as a guide for Scandinavian Fly Fishing Guides. Appreciated casting instructor and host at Scandinavian Fly Fishing Guides own lodge and river in Norway. Dry or die might be his official moto, but he has been seen swinging dirty flies with a two-hander for salmon with great success.

Casting tight loops are is actually pretty simple in theory. Line and loop shape are primarily dictated by the path the fly rod tip takes during the cast and after the stop. The line does not follow the rod tip exactly - but for the purpose of this exercise that’s what we need to be thinking about.

Fly Casting Tips

Having seen a few tails and created more than my fair share - most entirely involuntarily - I think it best to keep things relatively simple. After-all, we're all about fly fishing rather than any in-depth analysis of casting physics.

Fly fishing and certainly fly casting is most certainly the sport of exceptions and in order to attempt to explain anything in fly casting you tend to have to generalise -and that’s what i’m about to do.
