Thank you for an outstanding explanation of the mechanics and hydrodynamics of a swing. Your points on the use of tension or slack to control depth are a revelation that will make my swings more effective and consistent! Thank you Simon and Rio!
For whatever reason, I only considered the current's effect on the fly, not the line. This has opened up a whole new way of approaching my salmon fishing! If only someone had told me about this thirty or forty years ago...
Amazing !! Absolutely priceless way of sharing and help making the path so smooth to anyone willing to absorbe the concept in less than 10 minutes. A must to watch this MAT tutorial few times during the season, or even every time before stepping in to the water. Thank you so much RIO!! truly Simon it’s putting invaluable information out there and in the most possible simple way👌
Why fish soft hackles downstream north country / Clyde style ,as I was taught was always fished upstream to be a more natural presentation .i would value your thoughts on this cheers
It’s the difference in fishing subsurface and dries. I always find that while fishing the surface, casting upstream maximizes drift length and while fishing subsurface you maintain contact with your fly and can feel the take. Hope that helps

When I search, “streamer casting” this is what I’m looking for. So much more helpful than the 20+ other youtubes I’ve watched.
Thanks Martin! Hopefully, this helps you find a good one!
I think this will be very helpful info for many of us. Excellent work, of course!
Thanks LineSpeedJedi...
Great information and instructions! Thanks a lot! 👍👍🎣
I will watch this one a few more times,great lesson Simon.
Y.N.W.A.
Thanks for the insight. Simon knows his stuff
Can we please agree that "Chuck and Chance it Colin" is the best fly-fishing insult possible?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I was fishing the same way in every type of water and I assuming missing fish. Thanks again
Best soft hackle swing tutorial out there! Thank you.
Excellent! :-)
Thanks!
What a legend, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's a good video
I would love to take an advanced class from you.
