Spey fishing is a traditional technique that incorporates long rods and specialized casts.
Spey casting originated on the river Spey in Scotland well over 150 years ago. In their pursuit of Atlantic Salmon fishermen were frustrated by the limits placed on them by their geography - rocky and tree lined banks made back casting very difficult. The best way to learn is to find an instructor and take lessons. If no one in your area gives lessons you can also learn from a number of videos that are on the market - Derek Brown, Mel Krieger or Jim Vincente from Rio. You can cover more water using less energy because your rod is doing the work.
