Spent a few hours messing around with drys today. Have you found that modern taper/weight lines make this cast difficult . I rejigged my Harvey multiple times but I found on casts under 30’ the leader wouldn’t cooperate.

I have air cell on my other rod. I don’t remember having this issue with it. Either I lost this skill or I never had it lol.

Have a great weekend!

I fish this cast on the quick Montana waters and didn’t know it had a name! Thanks for the instructional video!

Thanks, Dom.

Btw, the lagging curve cast is a powerful reminder of how difficult nymphing is. The same potential for drag exits under the surface of the current as on it, however, we can’t use a curve cast because then we would lose strike detection. So, we muddle along best we can.

Thanks, Bill. I think you mean the Corkscrew Cast. Yes, I definitely plan on that one, along with the Crash Cast.
Cheers

Hope you will do a video on spiral cast (or did I miss that?).
