Any tips on casting a fly rod?
I have trouble getting the fly and leader away from the fly line because the fly line hits the water it is in a straight line but the leader and fly just bundles up right at the tip i was thinking it was my casting method or the fly line I hope that explains it better.
I'll agree with Way of the Leaf, it's probably not your line. The problem you're having is that the leader is not properly "turning over" (or landing in a big pile). This is generally caused by under powering your forward cast. Now don't go and just try adding more power. That will likely just making things worse!
It's very important that your forward cast ends with a very quick speed-up and then a hard stop in order to build line speed and end up with enough power left to turn over your leader. Here's an easy way to grasp the concept. Take a pen, loosen the cap, and hold it like it was a fly rod. Now without flexing your wrist, try and "cast" the cap off the pen straight out in front of you. Make sure it's going straight forward, not directed down to the floor. You can't do this without the speed-up and stop (unless you cheat and use your wrist).
The other thing that could exacerbate the problem would be a poorly constructed leader. I'd recommend a standard tapered leader as the easiest solution. If you're just using straight monofilament you'll likely have problems.
Good luck!
