The Basics of Spey Casting
If you are new to the sport of fly fishing, the chances are good that while you have heard of Spey casting, you may not know exactly what it means. Essentially, Spey is a casting technique that makes use of a two handed fly rod and that is ideal for fishing steelhead and trout from saltwater surf and large rivers. The Spey technique makes use of a double handed cast that draws the fly and line backwards before firing it forward. Using the fly as an anchor, this technique offers much greater distance than traditional single handed casting.
In order to master the Spey cast, you need two very important things. The first thing that you will need is a great Spey rod. Choosing a rod with the right head weight, the right length, and the best materials for the cast is important. Snowbee Spey rods are great for newcomers and experts in the sport alike, offering class and quality that surpasses even the most expensive rods on the market today. With numerous sizes and even travel rods available, Snowbee offers fishermen plenty of options for any situation.
The second thing that you need in order to master the Spey cast is experience. This is something that cannot be bought. With that said, however, taking part in online fly fishing communities and asking posters for their own advice and experience can certainly help you master the technique much faster. Relying on the experience of others to help you learn the basics is an excellent strategy, and finding someone who can explain the cast in understandable and basic detail will make it much easier for you to learn. Ultimately, it will take a bit of time as well as some trial and error, but the right advice can go a long way.
Spey casting is a great technique and can offer anglers the chance to catch bigger fish and to fish in more challenging and intimidating waters. Knowing when the cast is right takes a bit of experience. The Spey rod that you choose will have a significant impact on your experience, but this doesn't mean that you have to buy the most elaborate or expensive model on the market today. Great rods by Snowbee allow for the perfect cast without requiring you to triple your budget for bells and whistles that will make no difference. Choose your rod carefully and practice your technique frequently, and you just might find that the Spey is the cast that you prefer the most.

Why is my fly line sticking to my hand?
My husband has excellent quality lines, both new, one Snowbee and one Greys. He's having problems with them because they are dragging on his skin so much that he's getting cut by them. I don't understand why he's suddenly having this problem but suspected it was the Snowbee line conditioner which came with the new line. I washed the conditioner off the lines with ordinary washing up liquid in warm water but it didn't solve the problem. This has never happened to him previously and he isn't doing anything differently.
He's now using sticking plasters to protect his fingers.
Have you had this problem and if so, how did you resolve it?
I know exactly what your problem is-are they both fast sinkers?
The problem with fast sinkers, such as those with a sink rate of more than 3 feet a second is their very fine diameter-when they are wet after being stripped back through the water-when pulling back flies, the water gets onto the skin and softens it-this causes the very fine diameter lines-pulled at speed to cut into the skin.
Its rare that floating lines and intermediates do this as they have a wider diameter so they don't cut into the skin.
To solve the problem wear a stripping finger guide, you can buy them from most fly shops-Fulling Mill and Snowbee makes them, they are a very simple cloth tube that fits over the index finger to stop sinking lines cutting into the skin.
Also lubricate your fly line-with a fly line dressing, ensure that its not intended for a floating line as it will make your sinking lines float, there are various types available however one that degrease your sinker(such as the snowbee) will make it sink better but cut you easier-as there is no lubrication to reduce friction.
