Re: Teaching Spey

If you were asked to single out one move, which part of the many Spey moves do you find those who are new to this branch of fly fishing struggle with the most, and how do you teach them that particular move? The curved / climbing sweep into the casting stroke that forms the d loop is the most probl...

Re: Dangerous casting conundrum

It’s possible (if you don’t have tandem tube flies :p) to aerielise the cast so that instead of being a sustained anchor, you fold the line around in the air with a snap and just form the second anchor. I would happily do that with a dry fly for example - but tubes would be asking for trouble :) Ch...

Sweep and casting stroke often blend, but can be separated. Coming (around the corner) in a single Spey for instance, you know you appl...
