This is beyond a really good tutorial. This is a masterpiece. If you look at the ending where he expounds that you don’t need any set way to set up your switch cast as long as you can set it up, it really underlines how much thought has gone into making this presentation. Kudos to the presenter, Jeff Putnam!

There is one major problem with this video....it’s not long enough! I could listen to this guy for hours!

[@ashlandflyshop770]

He does a really great job at explaining things! Thanks for watching!

[@magnuskristofferbengtsson112]

A pure delight to have found and watched this video! This is what I call a speymeditation. Thank you

[@whipfinishflyco]

Jeff’s passion is infectious! Awesome video for beginners and beyond!

[@chasecook3854]

Thanks so much for posting this. Helped me tremendously improve my cast this weekend. My frustrations were leading me to almost give up on heavy sink tips. But focusing on correcting the angle of my back cast and forward cast and keeping that straight line, just like single hand casting, made a huge improvement. It really just helped things "click" for me.

[@dutyjke]

SOOO happy i found this video! Started off this summer at 29 and IM HOOKED at 2 handed rods. Looking forward to years of this! thanks for helping me!

[@NicoCafaro]

Excellent very professional instruction, And especially because with the rod it does what it says.

[@comesahorseman]

👍👍 The fella who taught me to fly cast taught me to roll cast first. When I took up fly fishing later on, I forgot all about roll casting; so, I got too wristy and developed a bad case of tailing loops. It took a guide holding my wrist and re-teaching me the roll cast to fix it.

[@jayjaypopup884]

Absolutely fantastic. Thank you..this really helped me as a novice and my loops are efficient but more importantly effortless and logical in every stroke. Used to subconsciously push too far or fight the line instead of 'chilling out' and let the rod do the work!

[@leonjones7155]

Very good instructor, clear and concise, brilliant.

[@paulhoughland8505]

Great video thank you

[@mountainstomarshes8966]

holy cow, lots of info to digest. Going to save this one and build up my skill set. just scooped my first switch rod for steelhead, can't wait to get it all rigged up.

[@donbartlett698]

Excellent instruction. Thank-you so much!

[@bok9201]

Just what I needed to fix the faults on my spey cast, this lesson is outstanding. Thank you.

[@ashlandflyshop770]

Thanks for watching!

[@n70199]

Ok. This guy is awesome. Such good instruction.

[@davidburnham794]

Thanks. One of the best instructional vids I’ve see.

[@willjohnson9412]

Thank you David!

[@n70199]

I really appreciate the posts! In an area where we have little access to good instruction, these videos are invaluable.

[@ashlandflyshop770]

Thanks for watching!

[@Wogger46]

What a great video! Super easy to follow

[@kevindrums1]

After 25 yes I’m finally going from single hand to Spey for steelhead. Gotta admit that it is intimidating but looking forward to saving energy as I get older. Great vid thx

[@ashlandflyshop770]

Right on Kevin! Good luck on your journey! If you are in Southern Oregon make sure to join us for 3rd Sunday Spey!

[@henryoliva1153]

As a beginner, this vid may just have put the fun in my Spey casting. I can’t wait to get out on the water now.

[@CaptMaxADV]

Well that was just fantastic!!

[@seandacey8346]

Fantastic display and explanation of the mechanics necessary to "throw the fly line" with ease and accuracy. Thank you.

[@alistairmackay8451]

Nice little tips on switch casting from the snap t and dbl spey cast movements. Nice one Jeff

[@ramunasvalancius5455]

wow great video 👍

[@codybarker2008]

Great instructor

[@cbearw1]

Great instruction!

[@ashlandflyshop770]

Indeed!

[@est9662]

very good indeed👍👍

[@Jesse-cy7ws]

Thanks for this. I came up with a cadence that really helped me “get it” recently. “Lift - 2, 3. Turn - 2, 3. Pull - 2, 3. 80 percent of this instruction - the anchor and D - is in the Turn.

[@Thwarptide]

That's odd, I use that same cadence on my wife in the bedroom. 🤪

[@Jesse-cy7ws]

Mr Ben you’re killing me. Lol

[@petervanderbeek9518]

thanks good instruction

[@dustinrapp1728]

Thank you guys for sharing this. Do you guys have more spey casting videos with John? I subbed your channel. Good stuff my dudes👍

[@peterastles6140]

watched loads a great vids like this one over winter i was an expert what could go wrong ? plenty on my first day on river the theory is great telling you body to do it is another. No subsitute for practice, practice, practice and I find after a few days on river you kinda work it out yourself once the motor memory gets it

[@cwoods1132]

Find this man. Tell him I love him.

[@ocaradofly9077]

Tinha que deixa o conteúdo do vídeo na descrição,pra que nos de outros países possa traduzir e entender,sou amante da arte mas no meu país tem pouca explicação.abracos

[@ashlandflyshop770]

Obrigado por assistir!

[@cachi-7878]

Does Jeff have any videos on YT where he compares Skagit vs. full Spey rod casting? What are the differences in the stroke path, stroke mechanics, timing, etc.?

[@cachi-7878]

Thank you Jeff. It would be nice to see these differences in action...

[@skylazart]

Dude what’s that roll cast ?!? Omg 😱 that’s perfect 👍🏿 🎉

[@jessejames1395]

How do I contact you for a private lesson

[@johnkenny694]

Eoin Fairgrieve is were you really want to go for a real lesson Laddy.

[@Belbivdevoe]

Who in the fuck thumbs downed this video?

[@Jesse-cy7ws]

Not a criticism, just an awareness about myself. I can’t learn from so much lecture. I need precepting - someone to fish below me and me to observe and do. I learn much better from in the moment demonstration - I need to learn with someone, not from someone. That’s my learning style. Taking the water after all this lecture only raises my anxiety.

[@DizzyHips]

casting downstream is dumb. cut your drift time in half

[@DizzyHips]

your cast did NONE of the most important elements of a good cast: 1-maximum drift time for least disturbance of water 2 . maximum mend or loop so there is no tugging on line and fish don't see line 3. fly must hit water first, before line.

[@RobertStCyr-bj2ni]

too much yacking, not enough demonstrating!

[@peterastles6140]

Dont get me wrong these vids help enormously but they are limited in what they can do real world
