Roberto Pragliola

Roberto Pragliola is the Italian Fly Fishing guru and a living legend.


He was born in Florence in 1937 and had a very hard and poor childhood like most of children and people in those years (they had no running water, no clothes and often no food but lots of values including respect to a word given - it was an offense to ask for a written word).

As a child he started to fish for sheer need and by using the only tools available; his hands. He thus learned to observe fish in their habitat which gave him an outstanding knowledge in this "hobby".

In 1967 he begun fly fishing for the first time after years spent with a spinning rod.

He is recognized as the main personality to practically have initiated fly fishing in the country by raising it at very high levels and founding a fly fishing school. He also developed his own way of casting, called TLT which has been reportedly misunderstood by the world fly fishing community (e.g. TLT is NOT only for light lines) until today as it was pointed out also in the latest event when he presented his latest book: "Magie sull'Acqua", Hoepli Editore, 2008 (an English translation is the making). The book deserves a own page which I am preparing but it suffice to say that it's NOT just another book about fly fishing but rather an enriching experience spanning from History, memories, values, techniques, hints. A memorable reading from page one.

Roberto is very outspoken and critical towards our days, "full of perfect figurines, but no fishermen" and deserve a serious listening for his personal insight. Personally, I would like to listen to him not only about fishing...

For to have a nice casting with effect is so important whic Leader taper do you use, down you can see a good Formula for to do it;

I'm interested for TLT,but I have a some questions:
-which rods do you use,sine in AFTMA standard?
-which fly lines DT or WF?
Thank you,

Sale

Hi Sale
Normal I use a rod longer 7,6 ft also can be ok 7,4 or 7,8
Line # 2 or 3 or 4
is important that the action of rod is not English (parabolic) but progressive and with sensible tip
See you
GAbriele

Excuse to me is normal Line tipe DT
Gabriele

Ok,thank you.I've asked you,because I have SAGE VT2 479.Fly line isn't problem,have it

I use Sage RPL 476 or Sage 476 XP, the Sage Rods action usually is perfect for the TLT but don't worry isn't so important the Rods with biggest trade mark, are very good SHIMANO also, they costs a little money and the action is ok too.

Gabriele

Many years ago' Stany started with a casting diffent then normal, bt Him somebody teach for to complete the TLT elaboration

For Stanyslav memory at today there is an Museum Of Fly Fishing History and very often when I cast with my line I tink of Him
Thanks Stany in every day of my fishing a lot of castings are dedicate to you.

Casting for a fast and precise as in TLT is important to use the rod as a pencil and not as a hammer
