Thats awesome, great presentation. i absolutely love using A switch rod. For everything. Ive been using them for a while but its been new to a lot of people . Today. So much fun.
Great video! What are your thoughts on the Riversider Fly Fishing Rod Spey/ Switch 11'3 7/8 wt.? This would be my 1st fly rod and I would put a 7/8 wt. Behemoth Reel on it as well.
You can use a skagit if your indy rig is heavy. This is done in some deeper/swifter rivers in the great lakes, where you need a lot of weight to get down in the zone. If your rig isn't too heavy a scandi can be better because it isn't as splashy and loud in calmer/shallower water.

I use both but it depends on what you fishing for . I find a switch rod to be more versatile I have two 11’6” switch rods one trout Spey 4wt one 11’6 6wt for silvers and steelhead and use both scandi and Skagit heads on both . For me I like the Skagit heads because you can switch out the heads and add a floating head that casts like a scandi for skating or shallow water . I also have a 13’7” 8wt Spey rod for bigger rivers with a hybrid head airflo Rage it will throw bigger flies like intruders but can also throw lighter flies , soft hackles like a scandi . To me the casting is very similar the only difference is the switch you can use as a single hand rod also which comes in handy while floating in a boat . Either way you will definitely have fun and be able to spend more money on fishing stuff :-)
I had to rewind it twice, that dude DID say that they are native. Rainbow trout are invasive in the great lakes. Weird that an "experienced guide " would say something so crazy. To anyone reading this, Rainbow trout, Salmon, Brown trout are all invasive in the great lakes and their tribs.
They are naturalized. They have been here since the late 1800s (as have Eurasian carp) and reproduce enough to have a stable population. They are wild but not endemic. While it is technically correct to call them "invasive", it is not the same as something like a silver carp. Trout do not harm the rivers or lakes. We brought them here on purpose.
They have been introduced to the system on purpose. That's not invasive. "Native" meaning not stocked. Reproduced naturally in the system. Did you even go to university? Moron
From england to the world 😃😃😃😃😊😊😊😊good morning on sunday

11:03 i thought a single spey was done on the upstream shoulder. To be honest that looked like just a simple overhead cast
Very informative. Thanks for sharing!
The second fish caught was under an indicator is that normal practice when "swinging flies for steelhead "?
No , but yes you can do it .
Love the videos

Good video
Observation: the pattern description you provided was missing the palmered hackle! Tight lines!
When you guys indicator fish with the spey rods do you use regular fly line or is it scandi?
My experience is you can use either a scandi , Skagit with a floating tip or a hybrid like an Airflo Rage . They all work .
You can use a skagit if your indy rig is heavy. This is done in some deeper/swifter rivers in the great lakes, where you need a lot of weight to get down in the zone.
If your rig isn't too heavy a scandi can be better because it isn't as splashy and loud in calmer/shallower water.
I gonna save this video. I'm casting for the first time two handed rods

Look up line speed Jedi if you haven’t already
I'm still not sure if I want a switch or spey rod

Very informative video just don’t know about the gloves.
agreed John, older video when gloves were the accepted norm for fish handling. certainly don't endorse this now. thanks for feedback
