Great details. What rod and line is James including the video?
Fantastic video!! … for the many part … so for a total neophyte like me, I discover that “you men” (the fly store expert'' s in basic) tend to utilize a great deal of terms that might indicate something to those who currently comprehend the spey/skagit casting world, however leave us that are attempting to figure this things out by means of investigating YouTube thinking … i.e.: “Pinch the head …” does that mean I'' m pulling the head all the method through the guides and pinching completion of it versus the grip? or to utilize the Legal representative'' s terms, am I” presuming realities not in proof” … what does that mean in easy terms?Also, would enjoy to see a video that reviews the set-up of the reel/rod all the method from connecting the line to fishing it (comprehending that you might be utilizing various tips/leaders, and so on based on where and what your fishing for.) I emailed NUMEROUS fly stores prior to I got one to respond to as to if you put backing on the reel initially, or go directly to a running line … and I'' d bet that if I was not sure of this, there are lots of folks out there with the very same concern( s)! In this case, I have a 9' ' 6 wt. routine fishing pole. If I ' m understanding this properly, to set it up for single hand spey, I might still utilize the very same 6 wt. reel I have on it now, 100 or two yds. of support, running line? (and just how much? … or can I simply keep my WF6F line on it …), and after that a commando micro skagit head (like 200 grains if I comprehend this properly) … to which I then connect my sink pointer or drifting suggestion … and after that leader. As far as a leader, can I simply choose some straight tippet? If choosing something larger, i.e.: steelhead, some straight 15 pound. mono or fluro? or do I utilize a tapered leader?Sorry for the long winded reply/comment, however like I stated, if I have these concerns, I'' m sure there are GREAT DEALS OF others feeling the exact same method, and at long times it appears so complex (which I truly believe it isn'' t, and would appear less so if things were discussed in streamlined terms rather of the “spey lingo”) that there are some stating “F#$ @ all this spey things, I capture lots of fish (or not) fly fishing the '' routine ' method!”. On the other hand, I personally believe that this wold be a terrific tool to contribute to my toolbox and I would have the ability to fish locations that I now can'' t. … would enjoy to see a reply here in the remarks area, along with the afore pointed out video!!
Cool video. For me I just improved at single hand spey casting after I in fact got a 2 handed spey rod and dealt with my spey casting with it up until I got decently excellent with the 2 hander. When I lastly I went to attempt the single hand once again, I observe I was a lot much better with it than prior to with less effort.
Extremely Cool video men. Well done. What electronic camera are you utilizing? Its remarkable. Thanks
Great discussion! I like your casting videos
Excellent video. I purchased a 250 excellent opst line system from operations mgr and opst. I will be buying 275 excellent. Excessive snow here to utilize now.
I’m having a difficult time choosing a single or two-hand rod for steelhead. I Generally fishing will be fishing my regional Sandy and Clackamas rivers with a handful of journeys to the deschutes. I’m not brand-new to single hands. I have actually been fly fishing trout on my 5 wt for many years and prepared to go up to steelhead. I initially purchased a spinning roadway for steelhead however I prefer fly fishing. I do not desire a switch rod. Any assistance on what I should do?
So why is the opst rep. Discussing his concerns prior to he asks. I like opst however wtf is with the waiting to talk instead of listen. The guidance was okay however it wasn’t truly instructional. Simply another blow hard with a beard imitating he’s a celeb. The host was extremely practical and did a terrific task. Opst you require assistance in your marketing professionalism. Why can’t we see more modest and enthusiastic anglers. Ed Ward is the guy and he’s the coolest person ever
