Spey Casting Video: Single Spey Cast Instructions

This Spey Casting Video contains Single Spey Casting Instructions
1) Point dominate toe across river toward Target.
2)Twist your body so the rest of you (everything but your feet) is facing downstream, rod down, line tight on the dangle
3) Lift rod slow and smooth across your body (not downstream) in a shotgun lift- AllowNO Slack for here on out!
4) Begin sweep by pushing with your bottom hand but for all practical purposes sweep by untwisting your body. Keep your elbows in front of you. Repeat: Sweep by rotating your body, not by swinging your arms.
5) During the sweep rotate fairly slow until you are passing your target at which time you put the bend in your rod by accelerating the sweep.
6) Sweep at the speed necessary to cause your fly and anchor to land in front of you, just upstream from your line of vision to the target.
7) Drift high with both hands after the sweep.
8) Forward cast must be made at the time the line touches down. Slightly before if its your first time with a long spey line.
9) Don't forget to pull with the bottom hand but use both hands in the forward cast.
10) Push off with your back foot and put your weight on your front foot as if stepping into the cast, lean forward and tighten muscles in your and core.

The tip on when to accelerate the swing really helped. This cast gets a lot of power with the straight arm

[@LineSpeedJediTimRawlins]

Great to hear! Thanks!

[@rocr7]

You are a very good teacher. I appreciate how you take your time and explain things in such detail without being too wordy. You have a real knack for that.

[@mj45cal]

[@stephencifka4629]

Thanks so much! It is extremely helpful to have each step broken down and explained so clearly. Every detail is explained in a way that makes it possible to remember and visualize. Super helpful. More, more! (Double Spey?)

Super helpful for those that are learning to transition from skagit casting to longer belly lines! Would you post the same - step by step video on the snake roll using longer belly lines ?

[@ithinkthat55]

thank you for video...

[@LineSpeedJediTimRawlins]

Most welcome, thanks for the nice comment!

[@robertcornelius8056]

Awesome 😎

[@LineSpeedJediTimRawlins]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Petergoneflyfishing]

Hi there again. I really appreciated your step by step approach in making a single spey cast. I do have a question for you: how much skagit head and skagit tip should be on the water the moment before you make your forward cast? Thanks in advance.

[@Jesse-cy7ws]

Thank you

[@LineSpeedJediTimRawlins]

You're welcome. My pleasure!!!

[@fulcrumpoint]

I enjoy your videos Tim, keep up the good work. Really nice casting and instruction there Tim, however it would be fair to say that this is a Single Spey style very heavily influenced from competition Spey casting technique. No harm in that either. I would be interested to see how you execute a medium or long belly Spey line Double Spey cast.

[@troutn405]

what reel is this? :)

[@chriskriewall8941]

what make rod is that??

[@dakotau2575]

Thank you for that! What rod and reel set up is that you have there?

[@LineSpeedJediTimRawlins]

Glad you like it. Its an Anglers Roost 5/6 Spey rod and the reel is a Skakespear Beulite! Skukum bullet proof reel. Thanks!

[@LineSpeedJediTimRawlins]

Thank you very much Alfonso! I appreciate the encouragement. So happy the videos are helpful. I'm very honored by your kind words. Thank you very much. I am humbled!

16 THUMBS DOWN >>>> Those are from the Salmon flossing, cigarette in mouth, hat on sideways, 24 oz malt liquor swilling , Ulgy Stuck whipping MoJoes who tried Spey for a half hour and said: " WTF man this is bull s*** You tol me dis waz gonna be ez "

[@LineSpeedJediTimRawlins]

Interesting. I had not looked at that. Another thing that may have happened is the wind kicked up in the audio wasn’t that good I can’t remember for sure the technique is correct a better single space video is single spade 2.0 long belly it’s applicable to most styles of spay casting and lengths of lines. Also being an avid KZbin fewer myself I grow impatient real quick if somebody’s voice aggravates me or they talk to slow or the audio was bad so it could be something like that. So I’m practicing really really hard on talking fast LOL and improving my audio quality. But the technique is sound. Thanks for the heads up.

[@salmonninja7223]

I don't think you're doing a thing wrong. Your videos are fantastic. I just stick you on when I'm at work. They're very informative and relaxing! I think casting, as well as fishing itself,is a very complex subject. Some people don't like to hear other points of view. Just keep doing what you're doing. I always recommend your channel when someone asks me about casting instruction etc.

[@LineSpeedJediTimRawlins]

@@salmonninja7223 thanks bro! I just saw this, a year late! Lol made my day!

[@petrovsergei]

+1

[@Strontyum]

The instruction is so so so chopped up and so so so broken down and by the way so comminuted did i say over analysed, that I lost the flow of the whole thing. See what I did there?

[@LineSpeedJediTimRawlins]

Thanks

[@martingriffin1969]

no sound

[@LineSpeedJediTimRawlins]

so sorry but the problem must be on your end. everyone else hears it. That or its better without sound LOL! Thanks!

[@lesterma1608]

You forgot something you’re left handed
