Modern basic spey casting - Double handed fly rods and shooting heads

[@mikekuczynski1552]

I’ve been using a two handed rod now for several years exclusively Skagit lines but recently started moving to Scandi for trout Spey and your video has been great in helping me visualize my casting technique with floating heads and lesser weighted sink tips in the scandi style . Thanks for the video

Excellent clear instruction. Thank you!

Great tutorial. Fish one handed for >25 years.,no problem. Understand all the basics and movements of the double handed flyrods. But still have not perfected this. The few times the head shoots so smoothly out the tip ,is such a rush. To see the line shoot out,and role over and landing in a straight line gives so much satisfaction. Got to love fly fishing.

Hello Olav, thanks for your reply. We recognize your description about casting and shooting fly lines. It is an addiction....

[@brianrenenielsen923]

Super and well illustrated explanations, Will ease the transition from Coastal til river flyfishing. Thanks

Hello Brian and thanks for your feedback! We hope our instructions will help you to experience some great fly fishing moments with the double handed fly rod.

With the push method the arm last the line and you dont get ant speed on the line. With the pull method the rod cast the line, you load the rod and get a very fast line.

[@Kelberi]

Pull forces you to have a good D loop or firing position, and extra body lateral movement for relax casting. However, try doing Pull method on 60 to 80 feet heads. Horses for courses guys.

Having trouble with the anchor using my fast sink tip. I only get it right 1/2 the time. On the Clearwater in bc anyways it’s tough. Super fast, bouldery wade. Water tension on the line changes every cast, even with a roll to clear the line.

[@scandinavianflylines4153]

Hello, sink tips are a little harder to use, you may have to increase your casting tempo a bit. The most important thing is to early prepare your anchor in your lift/anchor-movement, then position the rod so it points upward/backward, and then just wait for the right time to begin to load the rod and the forward cast (at the same time, the tip is on its way to its anchor position). It is easier with a floating tip, for sure. you have less margin with a sinking tip, as this will start to sink if you are to late to begin with the forward cast. I hope this helps! regards Johan.

@@scandinavianflylines4153 ugh...the exact set up I'm working towards! Very nice! Rod length and wt?

[@scandinavianflylines4153]

@@dylanupdyke4616 Its a 14 ft #9 fly rod. the fly rod itself is not that important, but try to use a fairly fast action and light rod, with a fast recovery of the tip part. Then the main task is to find a fly line that suits you and the rod.

@@scandinavianflylines4153 ...With the Danielsson reels, they have a "break" handle on some of their models. If this break system is so great, how come I've never seen this before on ANY other reels? And do YOU have one? Thank you.

I my gosh! What a hell! Have you heard anything about Goran Andersson? You try to explain the underhand technique without permission to do so. :) and, you do it incorrectly:)
