Single Spey Cast using the Traditional Scottish Spey Cast

Single Spey Casting a mid-belly Spey line using not the underhand technique, but the traditional Scottish style Spey Cast. The main difference between the Traditional Spey and Scandi cast is the distance both hands travel on the forward cast. When done properly The traditional Scottish Cast is a very graceful cast with both hands traveling equal distance during the loading and unloading of the rod.

Thank you Ian

Great advice I've heard of the key position but not about the final position. I liked watching a rod load in slow motion.

Nice one Ian. Highlighting these little nuances is very helpful. I've been Spey casting for years, but always learning.

Thanks, Aaron, This was the perfect opportunity to highlight this one as the guy is a really good caster but wanted to try and sharpen up the loop. I could see on the river bank what was going wrong, but for Leslie himself [and others], slowing it and pinpointing exactly what going on is for sure helpful. Many thanks for taking the time to comment.

Great stuff Ian. Really clear and easy to follow. Great bit of footage and instruction.

Al Cross Thanks Al. The intention is to keep it very simple using visuals to the best effect. Looking forward to seeing you in a few weeks time.

Great tip..I love the art of casting almost as much as catching the fish. I like to learn new things and work on my technique..thanks for the tips. I'm in N Ireland and hoping to get over to the Spey this year.

Glad you enjoyed. I'll have some more in the next while. If you have anything specific you'd like to see covered just let me know.

Enormous tip

Thanks for this Ian. It looks as if your rod loads/bends earlier in the stroke. Is that because you are putting more energy into it by using both hands fully?

What are the meaning og the overhang .Do you change it for some season? Mvh John Norway
