This photo is of the very end of one of my distance backcasts - sorry about the quality - it's zoomed in a long way.
What's causing the fly leg to go up like that - I assume it's something to do with the dangling end? How would I get it straighter?

Hi James
Is it from a clip? and is it possible to see more of the line than just the loop front
Cheers
Lasse

Flycasting, so simple that instructors need to make it complicated since 1685
Got a Q++ at casting school, wearing shorts

Does it happen just like this in every cast?

Hi Chase,
No it doesn't. Aitor has noted on another site that it's probably due to a trajectory effect i.e. letting the forward cast drop too much. This can be seen in his 'broomstick' video - here the loop opens up on the forward cast due to a 'low' back cast. The shape on the video and in the photo seem very similar.
Cheers, James.
