I've watched so many Single Spey videos on YT. Your video made the most sense. Thank you for sharing.

Excellent instruction and explanation of the mechanics - best i've seen.

Nice job friend. From Scotland... Spey Casting Territory ! All the best

[@BeautifuLakesStreamsBiologists]

While the mechanics are complex to explain, I think people would learn well by watching you make a dozen casts at the end of the video without even speaking. People can absorb a physical lesson better with a repetitive silent demo. This has worked well for me to teach people to ski difficult situations.

Yes, absolutely, no need to work hard. Casting, especially spey casting should be easy and non-fatiguing. Andrew

Great video Andrew, very informative! Could you comment on when a single spey (for change of direction) might be more appropriate than a snap-T cast? I consider myself a beginner but I have found there may be a larger margin for error using the single spey (more angles to worry about) as compared to the snap-T.

Great video. Do you suggest a person learns on a standard skagit length such as a Rio Skagit Max or a longer skagit length such as the Rio Skagit Max Long for a 13'6"?

You make it look so easy add a gusty wind into the equation and your into a whole load of trouble

[@ChristianOsbakk]

What rod, reel and line do u have ?

[@ChannelMitchy13]

How long is the rod you're using?

[@BILLHENRY239]

what river is that?

[@henrybutchy3242]

Slow lift, accelerating sweep, lift to fire, cast.

[@kremenko34]

Can u use that technique all day, without geting pain in your arm?

[@edg7636]

lotta fore-arm still Andy - you started to relax a bit more near the end.

[@johnmeyer6197]

What length is your fly rod. Also, what is the length of the red shooting head attached to shooting line. What is the weight of fly line.

[@flyintuna]

Hi John, If I remember correct, in this video I was using a Rio Uni Spey which was about a 52' head @ 7/8 weight. The line was finished off with a 14' poly leader and about 6 feet of tippet (3 feet of 15 and 3 feet of 12#). The rod was 14'3" in length.

Want to come to CO for a leason?? :)

[@toreaalberg4882]

Most people use to much force and too poor technique. If you do it right, you can cast 15 hours without pain, seven days in a row.

[@exitsign1515]

That was the most confusing video I've ever seen. Horrible.
