Scandinavian Two-handed Casting
Light two-handed rod workshop


An Introduction to constant tension and underhand techniques

“The perfect Bow River method of fishing”


Scandinavian Two-handed Casting:
This program emphasizes Scandinavian two-handed casting techniques for light two-handed rods and switch rods

Scandinavian style casting is “the fisherman’s choice". Fish long or fish short, this technique takes advantage of shooting heads, floating, medium sink and sink tips with weighted fly.

- Learn shooting head techniques.
- Compare the advantages of short two-handed rods to single hand rods.
- Try out 12 foot and 13 foot Scandinavian rods
- Learn about rigging up Scandinavian style. Sink tips, shooting heads, running line

Reduce wear and tear on the body – fish longer fish smarter!


Constant tension casting and underhand techniques give great power and distance while reducing strain on the body. Compare Multi-tip shooting head techniques to long belly techniques for fishing. “Spend more time fishing and less time casting.”

I have taken one of dan's classes in the past and have found it very helpful, I will be taking both Sat and Sun class. Anyone that is wanting to learn spey I highly suggest taking the sat class, and if you think you know what you are doing with the spey then try out the sunday course, I have heard the sunday course will be a very challenging class.

 

Looking forward to it.
