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.

[@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.

Thanks so much for your help! , From Patagonia!!!

[@TightLinesinNJ]

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

Awesome demo - thanks for the help!

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.

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

What rod, reel and line do u have ?

[@Petergoneflyfishing]

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"?

[@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.

[@ChannelMitchy13]

How long is the rod you're using?

[@BILLHENRY239]

what river is that?

[@henrybutchy3242]

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

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.
