Rose Creek Anglers features fly casting instructional videos demonstrated by Fishing Hall of Fame member and Fly Casting Instructor, Bob Nasby.

We feel it is important to partake in the outdoors. Connecting with the outdoors leads to a desire to take care of it.
@@rosecreekanglers262 indeed I have worked through many frustrating days videoing myself trying to figure my errs. I’ve been at this game for many years and love my journey
Thanks for asking. Bob goes into the details of the underhand cast while casting in the "Little Things Makes a Big Difference" video at: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-onrCjsjpqkI.html. Please let us know if you have any questions that are not explained in the video.
Amateur trout Spey caster here. Would love to fish with you for a day, to improve my casting. My 3wt is forgiving and I can get it out well enough to present nymphs. I struggle with my 4wt tossing streamers; sometimes it works and other times, oofff
Thank you for the comment. You are not alone with having some problems with inconsistency. As mentioned in our last video, I still struggle with inconsistency. The short casting stroke makes the motion and timing critical with the spey technique. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions (phone and email is posted in the video).
I hired Matt Jordan years ago and he taught me how to speycast on the Brule River. I was a former indicator fisher:( Now I only swing flies! 2 years ago Matt showed underhand casting at the spey clave and it elevated my casting to the next level. Last spring I got to fish with Matt and we both caught some nice steelhead and I noticed he never once hit a tree or snagged the brush on the bank. You should contact Matt for some of your videos! Great RU-vid channel bob
Thanks for the comment Tim. As a videographer, it has been a blast working on these videos with Bob. In this video in particular, I wanted to use much of the instruction Bob provided for me in order to mitigate my struggles with this casting technique. I enjoy watching your videos and have picked up some great advice from those videos as well. Best, Rich
You are the type of angler that everyone wants to go out with. Knowledgeable, helpful and willing to share. Thank you so much for posting, I really enjoyed it. Wes
Thank you for the kind words. We wanted to make this video especially for anglers that might be having some difficulty making consistent underhand casts.
Great video Bob. In using a scandi line like a Rio Scandi Versitip which has four 15 ft. tips floating thruogh a fast sink to add to the scandi head, is it your recomendation to not use the included 15 ft. floating tip but rather substitute this with a 15ft or longer leader as Klaus Frimor apears to use? If so when wouldyou use the flating tip included in the Versitip set?
Thanks for watching our video and for your comment. After reviewing the specifications of the Scandi Versitip system, which is recommended for rod lengths of 13 ft. or more (Versitip Short for shorter rods), I would use the 15 ft. tip and a 15 ft. leader when using the floating tip. Much shorter leaders when using the sinking tips. Let me know if you have any additional questions.
Thank you Bob. I appreciate your detailed explanation and repetition of the cast. Please tell us about setup, Rod length, length of Scandi head grain weight, leader etc
Thanks for watching our video. We are glad you like it. The rod is a 11 ft. 7wt. switch rod with a 480 grain scandi line. The leader is 15 ft long. Please let me know if you would like any additional information. Tight lines.
snap t, perry poke, kak snake, circle spey, double spey are all a mess. all arms. The point of spey is to 1/4 turn your torso and single spey. silent, inflate your d loop.
We appreciate comments from our viewers. It has been approximately 18 months since we published this video, so we watched it again to analyze where we can make improvements in our videos. We are not sure exactly what you are saying other than we noticed that Bob made a few casts that stirred the water some. You advocated the single spey to be performed by rotating your torso and we agree with that.
Thanks for watching our video. The line is a Scientific Anglers, Mastery Series "Expert Distance" line. I am not sure if this line is made anymore, but it has a long head (73 ft) to provide mass for long casts. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Pretty useless as an Instruction. All he's doing is going on and on about not doing false casts and very little about spey casts. He might be a good caster but I wouldn't call him a good fly casting instructor.
We appreciate your comment. We use critiques to improve our video content as I believe our latest videos have improved significantly. The intention of this video was to show a different way to cast with a single hand rod. For more detailed spey casting instruction we encourage viewers to watch “Critical Elements to a Spey Cast-That’s the Key”.
Bob has found that a D loop off to the side at approximately a 45 degree angle will work better with shorter lines such as SA Spey Lite or skagit heads. When using full Spey lines, Bob will make the 180 degree cast with a drift to keep the D loop up. This will be demonstrated in our next video which should be coming out in a month. Thanks for your comment.
@@rosecreekanglers262 can’t wait to see it, we always told 180 is the most efficient angle to load a rod and the 90 the less efficient loading casting angle🤔 so that 45 I can’t really fully picture or make it fit in my casting principles if caster face real conditions, from big heavy flies, wind or simply lifting longer sink tips, all this call for casting efficiency and I’m usually feel I’m “horsing the system”when my rod tip and line is farther from the 180 Thank you 🙂 Mag
Thank you! I am searching for a spey rod as of this writing in order to learn how to fish this method and your instructions are really clear and concise!
Thank you Floyd. Bob has helped me with my spey casting and made learning it as easy as possible. However, there have been a few occasions where it was a bit frustrating. It is a fun way to cast though. Good luck and if you have any questions, feel free to ask Bob at bob@rose-creek.com. All the best, Rich Femling Rose Creek Anglers
Thank you for the comment. We have been working with different fly line colors and different daylight settings to correct this. Our next video should be better.
Dan, Thank you for your comment. We apologize for the confusion. Bob remembers how frustrating it was learning this casting technique and would like to provide some tips to mitigate the frustration. We have been refining the messaging on this complicated subject and will be coming out with a new video in the next few weeks. Your comments help us improve our videos - thanks again.
