Easily the BEST video I've seen to understand this cast. Spey fishing is awesome but requires learning new techniques. Would love to spend the day learning from Simon in person !
Excellent instructions. I had an excellent guide/instructor and he spent a good amount of time showing me the blown anchors and crashed anchors, bloody L’s Etc. Watching your video reminded me of his lessons.
Before seeing this casting technique, I always had a little trouble swinging the fly line if I changed direction but after seeing this video tutorial, I couldn't wait to try it. Thank you very much 🙏😁 Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
Simon's little wrapping the line around the rod trick makes the rod SO MUCH easier to see while he's demonstrating the stroke. Particularly on these TH-cam videos where the video compression always makes water look terrible.
Very good instruction, even though I feel safe with my 2 hand casting it’s always good to repeat. Very nice camera angles makes it easy to follow and understand. Thank you Rio and Simon.
The subtle element Simon is perfect at is the relaxed cast. I always have to remind myself that brute force is not the best casting method. That alone made this a great video for me. thanks!
Wow you made that look so effortless, graceful and smooth. Amazing how little power your actually using, besides the “snap”, the definition of letting the rod do the work! Would you use the same cast on a switch rod? When I am streamer fishing with my one hand rod in tight alleys, small rivers with trees or without room to back cast I definitely have my line doing the same principles. Let it run out downstream, pull it in and roll it to my up stream side, then shoot it out from the water or take one mini false cast and unload everything.
great and invaluable advice, thank you! i am starting salmon fishing next season (2021) on the findhorn in the northeast of scotland! so watching guys like this is a must watch for me, done properly it looks effortless....but we all know its not until you've mastered it, many thanks simon!
Thanks Simon for the excellent tips on this great cast. I have´nt used a twohanded for 12-13 years, but this season I reached for it in the closet, and I´ve been away twice so far this season and your video really was great help. Once I really thought about the things you said, it worked just fine, so thanks a lot!
Here in Nevada on the Truckee River we have a prevailing wind out of the West. This puts the wind blowing downstream normally. What is your recommended castor this situation?
This is great, but it would be helpful if some mention was made of 1) what cast to use when there IS downstream wind, and 2) what cast to use when you're on the other side of the river. I imagine you'd want an arsenal of casts so that you could fish in any situation, no?
Well,,, I've been out and had a practice with a Skagit line and it seems that the advantage of the snap t over the single Spey is that the snap t gives you a longer sweep upwards to the D loop and it seems to cast further more easily 🤷♂️
Simon, you are an excellent teacher. Clarity, repetition, examples, repeat. Well done!

Probably could happen, but you'd be $$$$$$ out. A LOT of $'s!

He`s just pure gold for the Rio flyline company, thank you Mr Gawesworth.

Glad it helped!
@@newflyfisher nice Bro 👌
That was perfectly explained, thank you for that!

No kidding, I said almost the same thing.
Very clear instructions, succinct communication. I enjoy his instructional casting videos, very educational. Thanks
another great demo Simon. Thanks
Best spey casting tutorial! Looking forward to going out and trying my spey casting after watching this.

Really good instruction and good angel to make it visually. Thanks
Well done as always....great instructor
Excellent video. Great easy to see and follow. I'm relatively new to spey casting your video helps me to work the bugs out thank you for sharing!
This was awesome. Thank you so very much.
I think that's the best video on the snap T I have seen,very well done.
YNWA
Excellent points to remember when doing the Snap T! I like to do the Snake Roll Cast when the water is running from left to right.
Thanks Simon for the excellent tips on this great cast.

Same for me, practice on river trent boxing day ! Ready for the alness and thurso .
Very well explained,thanks.

Really great video and w3ll explained.
Now I know what Im doing wrong, that bloody dip :D THX for a great vid
Wonderful thank you.
This is great, but it would be helpful if some mention was made of 1) what cast to use when there IS downstream wind, and 2) what cast to use when you're on the other side of the river. I imagine you'd want an arsenal of casts so that you could fish in any situation, no?
How ft tall ?
I can I only imagine many people stick themselves while learning Spey casting
So why use a Snap T instead of a Spey cast ?
Need to get in touch, think you would be very interested, gr at demo.. 😊
Why would you do a snap t instead of a single Spey cast?
Well,,, I've been out and had a practice with a Skagit line and it seems that the advantage of the snap t over the single Spey is that the snap t gives you a longer sweep upwards to the D loop and it seems to cast further more easily 🤷♂️
This video destroys any other video I’ve seen on this cast
