Master the Scandinavian Speycast with Henrik Mortensen

In this short clip Henrik Mortensen focuses on the Scandinavian Spey Cast and his unique method of body movement and its importance in the cast. In doing so he will show how this cast differs from the traditional speycast. This is a great educational video for first time or seasoned spey casters alike.

Henrik was way ahead of time back then, I picked up alot of fishing techniques by practicing what I've learned in all of his dvd's.

HAVEN'T SEEN THIS VIDEO in a DECADE... ... and Henrik is STILL the grand meister of truly elegant, POWERFUL casting techniques! As I watched I realized just HOW MANY lessons I've learned from this ONE video over the past 10+ years, but you need to watch it at least 20 or 30 times, over & over & over again. It's THAT kind of "triple-distilled spey lessons" ;-) -Mark Vogt | VOGTLAND OUTDOORS

A wonderful video. I never thought I'd try double hand casting because it seemed too difficult, but Mr. Mortensen artfully and clearly illustrates a double hand casting technique so well and in a manner that makes much sense to me that I'm actually going to go out and get a Scandi outfit to start with. Thanks for posting it, and thanks to Mr. Mortensen for being such a fantastic instructor.

Thank you for keeping the instruction simple. This has to be the best spey instruction out there.

[@chrisbajema8002]

Very good job explaining the physics of the Spey rod. Thanks for your time and your willingness to help others out like myself. 👌👍

[@cbearw1]

Thanks Henrik! Great tips to help learn this style of casting!

[@TheNego]

Great video on the Spey and thanks lots Henrik!

[@awaken77]

My favorite instructional video

[@LouisianaSpey]

So much great info in so little work, this play a huge path in my journey into a great technician of cast and body positioning

[@LaurenKingsley]

Wow, something that makes sense! I'll be using this instruction as I prep for a trip to Canada next month.

[@connielee2436]

Great guide to learn fly fishing! Will try this on my Piscifun reels!

[@56cacks]

This mans a pro and his techniques really do !!! Make a difference...

[@MrLandonBlack]

Great instruction. Thanks!

[@Jako6400]

Gad godt at fiske med ham et par uger, og lære de gode tricks han kan! Han er for vild! 🤘

[@Orriize]

This is very helpful for my upcoming salmon fly fishing trip here in Iceland, thanks a lot. Now more time spent with the fly on the water then in the air casting over and over again.

Good instruction

[@davidafo2983]

This style works exceptionally well from pontoon boats! I use it on river drifts, back bays, lakes, and even ocean (So far I still have both feet, Ha!). I use a 13'6" 8 wt. Average about 70', effortless casts. I would appreciate some feedback as I describe this cast in terms of FFF Definitions that I have capitalized: Overall this cast has a small CASTING ARC. Heinrik is adding TRANSLATION (body/hand) before ROTATION in direction of cast, defined as, I think, DRAG. This is a loading maneuver that adds power to the cast, rod bend, and keeps slack out of line. Adding TRANSLATION = greater STROKE LENGTH = > line speed. TRANSLATION also causes the rod and hands to stay coplanar in an Oblique Posterior/Anterior casting plane. This oblique plane intersects a Posterior/Anterior Parasagittal plane creating a straight line and rod tip path There is also a slight downward, upper hand TRANSLATION coinciding with ROTATION, also on this oblique plane. The lower hand (also coplanar and moving on this oblique plane) is where the rotational power is generated. The more coplanar and smoother the acceleration to a brisk stop the CASTING STOKE is = better Rod tip tracking and more efficient cast. Here is my question: Does body/shoulder rotation in the transverse plane, create a slight curvilinear rod tip path? Google "FFF Definitions" for defs and pictures. I know, a bit wonky....

[@jessebourneau6426]

Crap dude . . . you’re overthinking it. Must not be fun for you. If you’re only casting 70’ with a 35’ casting head, you do need help.

[@salmonninja7223]

Great stuff. Great video. Wouldn't like to get punched off Henrik neither.....!

[@jrgenpetersen6260]

Good instruktion

[@PESKAKI]

Gostaria de receber mais imformation...congratulation!!!

[@ArroyoGuitars]

The a-ha moment starts at 6:00 never really thought that much about foot placement until now.

[@johngraham5996]

such a simple little thing but a big help on the water, scandi casting is a great method and very effective, i am into my 4th season here in scotland and only now am i at ease with my casting, but watching the scandinavians was the biggest help to me, eventually i ironed out my mistakes and suddenley it all came together

[@heppyfto]

what type of line setup are you using henrik

[@speyday69]

Henrik, For United States anglers, whom are your contacts or distributors so that we may buy your DVDs. Thanks.

[@TheOrmsson]

[@kleinermunsterlande]

[@dylanupdyke4616]

Skal!

[@MrBl4ce]

Suuuuucks

[@YouMockMe]

what are you talking about? the left hook will teach that fish a lesson.

[@rickhand8392]

Why are you using a fly rod for spey casting very bad IDEA ! This crap is not spey casting !!

[@petermorse5442]

Why not use a single hand rod for Spey casting. And a 2 hander is still just a fly rod only longer.

[@davidafo2983]

KRUSHinski is a good name for a WWE wrestler...

You dont reach up to the level of Henrik
