Trout in Montana are perfect
contenders for swung flies. Whether
it be large and small streamers, soft
hackles, caddis pupa or skated dries,
the two hand game is wide open to
possibilities. The question for many
anglers is why? Why would I want to
fish with one of those long rods and do
the weird back and forth roll casting
thing? Trust me. Once you take the
time to learn spey, you will understand.
Besides increasing your enjoyment
on the water, learning to spey cast
will open your mind to a whole new
world of casting alternatives. You will
learn and understand more about
the dynamics of different fly lines and
when to use different casts. It will all
lead to more versatility under a wide
range of conditions. Your single hand
game will also improve. Simply put,
you will become a better caster and
have more fun doing it.
