[@lgpadilha]

It's always a pleasure to watch Mr Simon

[@thewetfly9207]

The whole picture, beautiful video ❤

[@RIOPRODUCTS]

Thanks!!!

[@abcolerusborglidcolerus7455]

Undoubtly Best video Ever! Thanks!

[@eventhorizon5183]

Simon , another great video, as always. We need a video on same subject but with a down stream wind.

[@RIOPRODUCTS]

Thanks Mate!

[@johnmoreland7271]

I'm sold..your instuction on clean casting, past the basic casting is great...I need these tips...

[@nicolelewis1828]

Thank you Simon and RIO - very helpful! I'll be watching the video series this winter. Bought the three CD collection.

[@RIOPRODUCTS]

Good luck with that - hopefully you have some fun on the water with those Spey casts!

[@kevincalm]

Best video I've seen on how to do a snap T cast. Thanks

[@catalinureche448]

Thank you sir, nice explanations and demo !

[@RIOPRODUCTS]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@tizianoracasi3676]

Ho seguito il lancio con la traduzione automatica ma devo dire che il Signor Simon insegna molto bene. Grazie.

[@RIOPRODUCTS]

Grazie

[@gsdijam]

Fantastic video. I've been trying spay for some weeks and I was doing all the mistakes you mentioned here :D Now I know what to fix. Thanks

[@RIOPRODUCTS]

Glad it helped!

Man I love this fella Heckin legend

[@lexappeal6557]

That was actually a really helpful video, thank you! I’d love to see more like this 👍🏼

More Spey casting How To's to come in the next couple of months...

[@brian1204]

Okay, I might have missed a vid or two. You showed the double spey with a downstream wind and your rod hand on the downstream side. The snap T is for when there is an upstream wind and rod on the upstream side. What do you do when you have a downstream wind with the rod on the upstream side, or an upstream wind with the rod on the downstream side? Assuming you can’t cross and fish from the other side of the river.

[@richardbrown4294]

Very well explained, I only wish I could get to the river and put into practice. Thanks.

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Very nicely done Simon. Great tips.

[@RostislavKuzmich]

Very nice!))))

[@rimmer67]

Total newby here....errrm, does an upstream wind COME FROM upstream direction? As is a NORTHERLY wind actually blowing from the North?.

[@RIOPRODUCTS]

Great question, and something we should have mentioned. In fishing lingo a downstream wind is the opposite of the weather lingo. In fishing a downstream wind blows TO downstream. Great comment, thanks. I hope the explanation makes sense.

[@N2theBlue1]

Could also say upcurrent- against the current and downcurrent - with the current.

[@harsonlau271]

You may as well use a snake roll cast to achieve the same effect, I think

[@RIOPRODUCTS]

The Snake Roll is usually better if there is a strong wind blowing downstream, while the Snap T works best with an upstream wind...

[@thewelshwizard5869]

I love your videos, especially from a fellow Welshman, but I thought Snap T, Snap C, Circle and Snap Z are all different casts, with different peculiarities, on a similar theme of a change of direction cast in an upstream wind, as an alternative to a Single spey cast.

[@RIOPRODUCTS]

Technically they are, with slightly different ways to make the set up stroke, but we didn't want to confuse new Spey casters by talking about the differences in this video. In the follow up video, How To Improve A Snap T Simon does show the more vertical wave of the original Snap T, as opposed to the curvy circle/snap C, but again lumps it into a single name to try and keep it clear and simple. We should make one that shows the differences of all, though. Thanks for the comment, and we are delighted that you like our videos.

[@thewelshwizard5869]

@@RIOPRODUCTS thank you for taking the trouble to reply, and thought that might be the case. Still love the videos and Simon’s presentations. 🙂👍

[@RIOPRODUCTS]

@@thewelshwizard5869 Glad to hear that, thanks for letting us know

[@helok9]

We lefties have to envision this from our perspective.

[@thomasgibbons353]

Go to the other side> right?

[@johnmoreland7271]

At any level of hand or cast..it's wind speed, current drection if any..line flow and a love of the delivery.....and that hoped for sink of the line...that ain't a snag....oh yeah
