Great

Good instruction and video. Assume you were using a spey line as opposed to a scandi shooting head given you had a long 60' of line out of rod tip? Length of head v rod length can be a confusing issue in context of line type.

The best caster I've met and by some distance.

Great video Andrew not a cast I use much but after watching this feel confident I can improve my technique.

Sweet casting Andrew. Beautiful!

Great teaching video again! Thanks to share

Great video ,simple explanation for all levels!!! 🙌🙌🙌

Surely one of the best instructional videos out there. Thank you. Many years ago at Scone you taught me about the "fulcrum". Revolutionised my otherwise brutal casting technique within 15 mins. One of the best casters I've ever seen too. So glad you are doing these videos 👍

Superb video, thank you

Enjoying these videos Andrew. Plain and simple instruction.

I think your Single and Double Spey videos have got to be the best. Sound and photography perfect - thank you. If we can't perfect are catching we endeavour to perfect our casting!

Great instruction Andrew, thanks!

Thank you Andrew, your the only one that emphasizes a couple of little important details, like pointing the rod completely down stream parallel to the line on the dangle, and after the initial lift, still pointing the rod downstream, I always messed up my single spey whenever I started pointing my rod tip anywhere else other than completely downstream, and then with bodyweight shift, backfoot to front foot, together with the outward swing before the sweep, it has helped me tremendously perfecting my technic. I'm incorporating it with shooting heads as I'm using it for small to medium rivers, I'm currently experimenting with how slow I can make the lift, the outward tilt, and the swing, and with something I call French kissing the anchor, sort of letting the water and leader make out, meaning letting the anchor sit a little bit extra time, maybe half a second to a full second more, which I use for a couple of things, first I keep swinging the rod a little bit more around to increase the angle, before I drift upward, to initiate the forward cast, while also pulling the leader more strait, it lines everything up for a better tracking, the reason I'm doing this is to remove any slack in the line, and keeping the tension high in the whole system, and also have an edge on the wind, instead of swinging the rod and line a full 90 degrees, with more time in the air which would/could potentially letting the wind get it and blow it of course, I'm only changing the initial angle about 60-75 degrees before the anchor sets, and changing the rest 15-30 degrees after the anchor, meaning less time with line in the air, I tried to increase the initial speed to create more energy in the backcast, but it didn't work, I lost control, and it looks absolutely fab with the sudden change of tempo, from everything up to the forward cast being slow, to launch with high speed, it creates long casts up to 45-50 yards, often way more than I need. It puzzles me I can cast that far without also having similar speed in the backcast, the physics doesn't ad up, but it sure works. Keep making these vids, your extra knowledge is much appreciated.

great instruction!

Great presentation Andrew. Will you do a newer one on single handed spey/switch casting? I saw your earlier one from years ago.

Great cast and demonstration….

Very clear instruction Andrew, thank you very much! May I ask what set-up of rod and line you are using on this video?

Great demonstration, thanks Andrew!

I’ve waited a long while for this video from you and I’m not disappointed. Thanks Andrew!

What size of rod thanks

Great video as always. Your tuition and practise made such a difference for me this season. That beat looks great with a bit more flow

Very bonny casting as ever!

Super video Andrew thanks for that 👍

Hi Andy, Andy here,, excellent detailed description, one question though, when you initially lift line off the water, do you point the rod completely down stream, or do you point it toward your aim? It looks like you are pointing down stream with a slight outward slant, as it would make sense, comparatively it would seem impossible to point toward the aim, and then have room and time to make the sweep, I'm asking as other classical spey casting instructors, specifically say that you should lift line off the water, and point the rod toward your casting direction, and then begin the sweep, i can see it would work though, but it would also create an unnecessary large D loop, while your cast with a decent long belly and large change off direction, apparently did not claim a lot off room behind you.

My dad was the keeper here

Great casting and great cinematography. Both are very much enjoyed.

God this is complex

It’s a tuff cast , this will help make it easier. Thanks for the video

Slainte! And thank you, I'll work on this. One question....what taper line are you using? I.E., weight forward, double taper, etc.? Thanks!

Thanks Andrew! I’d love another video of this cast/instruction from a different angle so I can see your top/bottom hand hand more. I know I’m not to pull with my top hand, because your back is toward the camera I can’t see fully how your steering the rod. Any chance of another video? I would very much appreciate it and thanks in advance if you can.

Hi Andy, out of all the spey casting videos I've watched ( a lot). This is by far the best description and visuals I have ever seen. Are you still doing casting lessons? Would love to spend a day with you so you can help me get to grips with losing my bad habits.

Cheer big ears 👍what line are you using there ? It looks quite long

Very comprehensive with a great breakdown of the process. I'll try to put your advice into practice.

EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT video !!! original and very explicit, it leaves no doubt about the work of the line under the water !!! Congratulations!!!!

Great video. I want to know what type of rod l would need and also spey line. I want these to cast small streamers for small mouth bass. Thanks again.

This is excellent - as someone just learning to Spey cast this year, I’d make an observation and welcome comments - the cast also changes slightly with the speed of the water flow - a faster flow provides a greater ‘grip’ on your anchor and (to me at least) requires me to commence my forward cast slightly earlier - hope this makes sense.

Muy lindo video

Awesome video 👍thanks for uploading

ats a hoor o a cast

Oh not often I take my hat of ! But damn this was awesome casting. I throw my full shootingline of 50yards and I'm use the flat mono. Best regards Bjorn from Sweden 🇸🇪👍

Thanks for this. Was fishing a large reservoir the other day with the wind blowing into my right side. I had fish in front of me and limited room behind me - trees and shrubs - so was hooking myself/hitting myself with the line with a conventional overhead cast. Not good and very frustrating. I would normally use my switch rod and spey cast in such circumstances but didn't have it with me. Now I've seen your advice, I shall work on spey casting a single hander. Thanks again.

Great film Andrew! Very professionally put together.

Thanks mate, very smooth technique ☘️

Это пиздец как круто!!!

Superb casting, a pleasure to watch!!!

nice cast ! hope i can learn that¬¬

More please ✋🏼

just got my first spey rod for christmas. been fly fishing for a few years now. I've been practicing the double spey cast in my yard so I don't look like a complete mook when i get on the river, I just cant get enough resistance on the line without a fly and being on grass. i suppose i have no choice but to just get out there and see what happens. Hopefully one day I can cast like him.

Hello Andrew Is it necessary to open the right hand with long cast ? In another movie you show fulcrum, there the right hand is open about 90 degrees. Please explain.

Andrew, do you use poly leaders on end of these sinking lines or just straight leader? What length poly leader or just leader or combination would use on say a sink 2 or say a sink 6? Richie
