Very good instruction and beautiful casting klaus! I have a question please could you try to convince the loop team to bring back the custom heads loop had once. The 18m and 15 m. That would be awesome.
Very good and precise Al. Can i ask if this single spey cast is also referred to as a switch cast but on a small scale i.e not much line out. Al also does a nice piece on the snake roll
Klaus always makes the underhand look simple, elegant and nearly effortless. Which it is... if you are Klaus Frimor. Just kidding. It really is nearly as easy as it looks with some time invested in dedicated practice and quality equipment. Thanks again Klaus. 👍
Probably the best explanation of the Underhand casting technique I found on internet. Absolutely great 👍 What is the difference between rods designed for short vs long casting stroke, please?🙏
Short casting stroke = short rod stroke. The rod bends mostly in the top third and in the bottom third. Loading a certain amount of energy in the bottom part of the rod creates less rod bend compared to loading it in the top. Look how little Klaus rod bends, but you can see it bending down to the cork handle activating the most powerfull part of the rod. Longer casting stroke = longer rod stroke. More full action where 3/4 of the rod works and the more you load the rod the deeper the action goes. Of course, in reality rod design is way more complicated.
@@DanielSwe93 Thank you! I was confused about differences in actions for Underhand and more clasic Spey styles. Your explanation makes it more clear for me now. 👍
Useful advice, especially for long casting. I usually raise my top hand higher (probably my mistake) and add a little more right hand at the end of the cast. This way I get a better loop. Thanks for the video!
Al - Thank you I enjoyed that. Most of the water I fish is right hand bank, so I rarely get an opportunity to single Spey cast. Must try to address this and become more proficient with it. Great stuff.
This is how big kings should be in the pac northwest and alaska on average. Its bullshit the native american nets have destroyed everything here and its just sad. Good for you guys down there. Lightly touched unlike here.
Hi there, another great video. Am off to the hebrides next summer. What line would you suggest for loch fishing from boat,and Bank. #7 rod. I will be targeting sea trout and grilse. Thank you.
In my opinion it’s the estuarys where most predation happens , if it was were up to me most of the fish eating birds would be shot ( not all though ) , personally I think that would boost the amount of smolts getting to sea , what happens when they get to sea is a different story , it’s such a shame to see the state of our rivers nowadays
Hi. Very nice video. I'm a french fly fisher for a long time. I don't know what flyfishing could be in scotland but if Deanston is present, it shoudl'nt be bad. Frendly yours.
Are these Chinook naturally reproducing in the southern Chile. In Ontario Canada we had great salmon fishing in Lake Huron with stocked Chinook but the bait fish declined and zebra mussels took to many nutrients out of the water which resulted in smaller fish and a reduction in stocking in USA and Canada. Lake Ontario has great Chinook fishing and is still stocked
The are native now. And they are spawning naturally. It's like what British Columbia and Alaska were back in the 60s and 70s. it's unbelievable. Argentina has the only run of chinook in the world that the river flows into the Atlantic.
@@nickking1510 they are in both southern Chile and southern Argentina. Not sure how far north they have populated. They colonized some rivers when the net pens they were in broke apart back in the late 60s or early 70s i believe. Who knows how many rivers they could be in.
@@roynichols5212 nice they likely have lots of food of the southern tip of South America in the mixing of both seas, have any studies been done on them ?. Have any Atlantic salmon been stocked in any of the rivers ,that would interesting .Atlantic salmon existed in Lake Ontario till around 1880 in great numbers destroyed by dams tanneries and clear cutting causing silting of the main spawning river Humber and Don which are now surrounded by Toronto. There has been stocking programs to bring them back but no luck as spawning runs return to 80 + degree water . In Lake Superior a fish farm had lost thousands of Atlantic I believe it was in mid 1950 ies and they spawn in the St Mary’s river between Lake Huron and Lake Superior right of the city of SueSt Marie Ontario. We do have fantastic Chinook salmon fishing in Lake Ontario sustained by stocking from New York State and clubs on Canadian and USA coasts
