Sit back and enjoy Jeff Putnam's presentations at 2018 Rogue On The Fly "Breaking Down the Essential Mechanics of Spey". Check it out on our website! www.ashlandflyshop.com/blogs/...
This is beyond a really good tutorial. This is a masterpiece. If you look at the ending where he expounds that you don’t need any set way to set up your switch cast as long as you can set it up, it really underlines how much thought has gone into making this presentation. Kudos to the presenter, Jeff Putnam!
This is all the beginners need to know, and in less than 30 minutes, just outstanding display of tips and corrections explained simple and concise, if you are serious in to the Spey casting, this is a must to watch, you tube best 3. To much info to only be watch once. Thank you for sharing guys.
Absolutely fantastic. Thank you..this really helped me as a novice and my loops are efficient but more importantly effortless and logical in every stroke. Used to subconsciously push too far or fight the line instead of 'chilling out' and let the rod do the work!
Thanks so much for posting this. Helped me tremendously improve my cast this weekend. My frustrations were leading me to almost give up on heavy sink tips. But focusing on correcting the angle of my back cast and forward cast and keeping that straight line, just like single hand casting, made a huge improvement. It really just helped things "click" for me.
👍👍 The fella who taught me to fly cast taught me to roll cast first. When I took up fly fishing later on, I forgot all about roll casting; so, I got too wristy and developed a bad case of tailing loops. It took a guide holding my wrist and re-teaching me the roll cast to fix it.
holy cow, lots of info to digest. Going to save this one and build up my skill set. just scooped my first switch rod for steelhead, can't wait to get it all rigged up.
After 25 yes I’m finally going from single hand to Spey for steelhead. Gotta admit that it is intimidating but looking forward to saving energy as I get older. Great vid thx
Thanks for this. I came up with a cadence that really helped me “get it” recently. “Lift - 2, 3. Turn - 2, 3. Pull - 2, 3. 80 percent of this instruction - the anchor and D - is in the Turn.
watched loads a great vids like this one over winter i was an expert what could go wrong ? plenty on my first day on river the theory is great telling you body to do it is another. No subsitute for practice, practice, practice and I find after a few days on river you kinda work it out yourself once the motor memory gets it
Does Jeff have any videos on YT where he compares Skagit vs. full Spey rod casting? What are the differences in the stroke path, stroke mechanics, timing, etc.?
Tinha que deixa o conteúdo do vídeo na descrição,pra que nos de outros países possa traduzir e entender,sou amante da arte mas no meu país tem pouca explicação.abracos
Not a criticism, just an awareness about myself. I can’t learn from so much lecture. I need precepting - someone to fish below me and me to observe and do. I learn much better from in the moment demonstration - I need to learn with someone, not from someone. That’s my learning style. Taking the water after all this lecture only raises my anxiety.
your cast did NONE of the most important elements of a good cast: 1-maximum drift time for least disturbance of water 2 . maximum mend or loop so there is no tugging on line and fish don't see line 3. fly must hit water first, before line.
