Good video thanks

Thank you Sr . for teaching us how to be a better caster. Sincerely from Argentina

Damn you crappy!!! 😂

11:40 fish jumping. Otherwise, fantastic instruction as always from Simon!

May I respectfully suggest that you do some extensive work on your top hand dominance? It appears to be causing you some issues which I am confident could be eradicated by using the rod and line as they were intended to be employed.

I think I was at the right stage in my journey to see this video tonight. Thanks again .

lovely is a bonnet? 8:26? just kidding great video i learned a ton and thanks for the history of the cast as well!

*I found these ball bearing swivel snaps to **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it’s be just as effective in every aspect as the much more expensive brand name snaps.*

Yes he is ! I would like to know where to buy the same fishing hat. Thank you

Thank you this helped immensely

Amazing Tutorial 👏

Simon has a RIO DVD set that all beginner spey casters should get. It's the most comprehensive instruction on spey casting. This uTube and his "man climbing the mountain" imagetry is an excellent pictorial of the course of the spey rod thru the complete cast. There is no better way to clearly understand the spey cast!

Simon is a great teacher/instructor of spey casting and those like myself who are learning the techniques owe him an abundance of appreciation and thanks for all his efforts to educate us. Thank you Simon and those who offer his instructions.

I have been in the "crappy department" before. It was only once but that was enough to learn to keep my rod away from that "snap".

Am just learning with a 10 footer and a great point you mentioned is the right line. Another i've seen is which stance is best as well, seems like yours is left foot slightly forward on the track also? Thanx for great tutorial am looking forward to being there. Oh and great visual, i'll not forget the red jacketed skier cast!

It's a very good to explain the spey cast. I got the chance to fish and cast whit Arthur Orelsby and Hugh Falkus back in mid 80s whit 15' 16' rods and 100' DT lines. And still a DT have so many benefits because you fish more water faster no discussion of that ! When I fish a 100' DT line I only strip in say 10-15' to do a new cast the fat part of the line must be in the top ring to transfer energy! Whit right rod as the Hardy favourite 16' I need minimum 80' of line out of my top ring to load that rod all the way to the bottom section very important factor here. As it's done right I easy shot 75-100' plus the line who is already outside the top calculate that and you see how far your fly lands. And back room is not a problem as you lay your D loop or traintrac in a 30° back angle and as forward cast goes you anglers that 30° more so you get your 60° angel who fish very well over 70° your line going to drag and your belly going below the fly ! I see so many fishing people at waters in Sweden Norway and USA who aim at 90° in deep pools it might be good but on shallow water it will spoke the fish very quickly. I spend 40 years of casting whit bamboo roods fiberglass and modern carbon fiber. For spey a slow action or deep action is the best choice! But I say a fast rod shoot as crazy and it's fun in many ways. Light rods I like medium fast or fast ! Long rods in 14-17' of length it like them bit slow and because of the length the tip section move long distance from A to B and I like a sharp D loop so I dont dip my tip I let it go parallel after my lift and I'm turn my body at I'm going upwards in the back cast. Whit so much line out you load the rod to it fully potential and as your leader is set you push whit both hands to start and as stroke goes left hand or rear hand start pull down to hit my belly low where your belt normal is that fast stop of the rod impelles the fly line to shoot out in a tight loop that give distance and you cast much more straight as well! My tips and can be done whit any form of 2 handed rod slow or fast. Enjoy his way of show his style of spey cast. Best regards Bjorn from Sweden 🇸🇪

The Gawesworth Dip (on the sweep). Why, Simon, why? You'd think after your lackluster singles at SOR that you'd learn how inefficient a dip is in the Single Spey. It's great for crashed anchors. Show us your awesome snake rolls instead.

Amazing teacher

I’m a proud, unashamed, tailing loop hot mess when it comes to a single Spey with a longer Scandi line. But I’ll get it. I learn NOTHING from UA-cam. I used to be a hot mess Skagit caster. Tried for 2 years to learn Skagit from this medium. Got nowhere. Hired a Skagit guide and told him to fish with me. Told him all I wanted from him was for him to low hole me for a day so I could mimic the movements with IMMEDIATE feedback. Within 40 minutes I had all the casts I struggled with sorted out. Now I’m much improved and very confident. Now I have to do the same thing with Scandi single Spey. All this talk gets jabbered up in my brain. I don’t learn this way. Need to monkey see, monkey do.

Great great great!!!

Learning to spay cast is my next endeavor in fly fishing. ive really been enjoying the instructional content you've been providing! Thanks for the content and keep it coming. Tight lines -(MOD)

How about some new videos?

My crappy came on the Ho a few months ago...and now I know why. Excellent teaching technique bud - I REALLY appreciate the points.

DONT COPY GEORGE >>>> He has a special pair of waders so He doesn't need to snap both shoulder straps....and...he doesn't need a wading belt.....If George were to fall in the river he would instantaneously snap his head down into his waders and completely roll tuck into a ball and become a highly flotant rubber raft, I know I know, it sounds impossible but that is why George is an expert and You and I are not ! .... You and I can never been as cool as George, In fact, George has never even fallen into any river at any time ....cheers

WADING STAFF >>>> Please use a staff and integrate it into Your fishing - wading ....cheers.

One of the very best out there.

YO DID YOU QUIT MAKING SPEY VIDEOS?

Bbuniyadi ss cQeqwertyiiopashld Uhhh csf

George, you are funny as all get out and very informative! Thanks for the great vid! :-) Take care, man!

I have caught so many trout, doing that short distance cast prior to entering the water with my trout spey. Man, good advice.

Great video and tuition!

Hi George... can you show us how to perform a snap T with a plug rod? :-)

What reel are you using?

I use two coils when I get past 10 pulls or sometimes I like to go 5 coil, 8 coil. No goat ropes. Remember to stack the line on the second coil! I rock climb...

You’re definitely my favorite teacher of beginners. My question for you sir is this, I own only eight to nine foot rods, I noticed you’re using a longer one than that, is the technique the same for the shorter rods? How about bamboo rods of the same length? Is a fast action better than medium or slow for this technique?

Dipping the rod so severely on the back swing, the belly of the line will hit the water before the leader, the leader will inturn land on top of the belly creating a bit of a tangle (wind knots). I had this problem for over 20 years until viewing my cast in slow motion, despite the forward cast being very good. Ideally the fly line and leader must hit the water straight helped by a more shallower u in the back swing, I still get small issues with this, however, I'm 100% aware of it and try to avoid it.

Did he go over or under?!? Talk about a cliffhanger.

Not so much issues with a long bellied line, the cast may well out go very easy but that running line is a hard work, the cast was not that good executed, with the line tangling up more often, however, these shooting heads are a must at times

All this time I'm thinking my snap Z is a snap T.

11:40 - watch for the big rise around the end of the grip - his right hand! Great vid!!

All are simple. Thx!

+1

I watched it three times and was still picking out important concepts the third time. This is really good instruction.

I often wonder why folks don't just cast left handed, cack-handed, rather than right handed off the left shoulder? I say this coming from being taught traditional spey casting by a man who insisted that I use both right and left hand on top of the rod handle casts. I have enjoyed these series of videos and have learned a lot about the new style of sustained anchor casts, thank you.

Great video. Love the analogies

Every second is a another revelation.

I call it 'farbankitis syndrome'. I also like the word 'HUCK' by the way! I'm going to use it more in general conversation!

Great channel. I've subbed. Gripshooter is a tremendous running line. I think line management is often overlooked. Especially fishermen who have moved from more traditional long spey lines to more modern techniques. I find running line in slow water, sinks due to the lack of current. It's ok in shallow water, but in the slow deep water you have to make shorter loops.
