"...Hauling is an advanced fly-casting technique. The subject of hauling doesn't really belong with a discussion of fly-casting fundamentals, and it's not something you should learn about in a basic lesson or introductory seminar. However, no work on fly casting would be complete without at least addressing it.
Hauling is known primarily as a technique used for adding distance to your cast. However, the role of hauling in distance fly casting has been greatly exaggerated and misunderstood. Although hauling will add some distance to a cast, your greatest gains in distance will come through refining your basic casting stroke: rod-arm mechanics. Although it would be a difficult thing to measure, I would guess that a haul adds less than 10 percent distance to a good cast (and even this estimate, I think, is generous). That is, a cast that would have delivered a fly 60 feet, combined with a well-executed haul, may just break the 65-foot mark. I'd like to emphasize here that this esti mate is for a good 60-foot cast-there is a world of difference between a good 60-foot cast and a poor 60-foot cast. For a poor cast, a haul would add significantly less than 10 percent distance, and maybe nothing at all.
On the other hand, a fly-fisher whose best cast is 60 feet without hauling can hope to add 20 or more feet to his cast simply by refining his basic casting stroke.
Although hauling is not the "secret" to distance fly casting that many anglers believe it to be, it is nevertheless a valuable casting technique that all fly-fishers can use to advantage in a variety of fish ing situations.
A haul is simply a pull on the fly line during the casting stroke. Pulling fly line through the guides during the casting stroke lets you pull harder against the fly line's weight and resistance (inertia) and..."
