Sounds crazy? Actually, spey casts are half of the fly world. When they taught you the basics, they probably showed you the overhead and the roll cast. And the roll cast is a spey.

There are tons of ways to do that. It prevents many tree hook ups on the backcast. It requires some technique, but very little power. It&#8217;s efficient, it&#8217;s elegant.
