How to Scandi Cast with Klaus Frimor | Clearwater Spey Gathering 2023 

Its not you just have to mind to balance the resistance between leader and fly and the running line. So heavy or big wind resistant fly either thicker running line or cut a little bit of your leader.

Hi didn't explain that fully in the video, and kept it simple, explaining what happens when the line shoots: The running line acts as a resistance once the line is flying (the upper line needs a bit more speed than the underline in order to shoot and turn over). However, when it comes to the leader and the fly, this combo acts as a resistance to LOAD the rod. (Bear in mind the fly might skate during this process if the leader is straight, but the leader might also lie zig zag in the water and the principe would still work). So in order to balance the system, the bigger the fly, the shorter the leader. big fly = one rod length, mid fly= 1 1/2 rod length, small fly = 2 rod lengths of leader.

I looked and could not find it haha

Well, by the early 70's Göran had been doing this for 20 years. Was he the first one ever using a shooting head? Likely not.

@@DanielSwe93 I understand that you doesnt know much about when Gøran invented this cast.

@@HansYngvarHaraldsen 1952 according to Göran himself. From 1952 to the early 70's you have 20 years. And you can drop the attitude.

@@DanielSwe93 The Origins of the Spey and Welsh Throw: .There are two categories of D loop casts: the double and the single motion. In the case of the single motion, a redirected D loop is formed with a singular movement, such as seen in the (upstream wind cast) single Spey. This technique originated on the rivers of Scotland. On the other hand the double motion cast which involves, for example, a 45-degree change in direction, is achieved through a double motion cast (downstream wind cast) like the snake-cast. The double motion cast finds its origins in Wales. Its important to note that the Welsh Throw has no connection to the river Spey or the Spey cast, these are two distinct styles from the early 1800s [3] The name "spey cast" comes from the river Spey in Scotland, where this style of casting was popularized due to the river's large width and difficult river bed footing (fishers are mostly unable to wade out into the river).[2] This style of casting originally went by the name of the, under-handed cast.[4] When spey casting was introduced, 22-foot (6.7 m) rods called the "Great Vibration" created by rod-maker Alexander Grant of Inverness were used. These rods were made of spliced greenheart, a heavy wood imported from British Guyana. Today, rods are only 12 to 15 feet (3.7 to 4.6 m) in length, and can toss a line up to 80 feet (24 m).[2]
