Thanks for the wise words pointing out major fly fishing mistakes; thinking about casting rather than fishing, damaging the fishery and/or yourself by inappropriate gear/techniques.
I find my 6 wt 10-6 Pieroway renegade is perfect . Rigged up with opst commando head and 40 wt lazar line to be most efficient. Both double and single hand casting . I’m in south central Alaska .
A longer rod does not give you a leverage advantage. Imagine lifting a 10lb weight... now imagine lifting a 10lb pole but its 20ft long and you can only grab it by the end. Dunno why it seems people universally make this mistake.
Been a trout spey addict for over a decade now in the PNW. When people ask me, "what's that?"; I'll tell them to watch this video. Great job!
Same here. It is a lot of fun, I also enjoy euro nymphing. I'm on both end of the spectrum

Excellent clear presentation.
Longer levers (rod) equals less leverage. That's one of the reasons offshore rods are short. Tight lines
Agreed - just posted the same before I read all comments!
Never realized there was a 16' scandi line....
Longer rods are worse leverage on fish, not better. That’s simple physics.
awesome!
Awesome

Ace!
Whitney - with a longer rod the fish gets more leverage on YOU, not the other way round.
The most efficient leverage would be no rod at all...
