I have actually constantly discovered the world of two-handed rods, and steelhead fishing in basic, remarkable. I have actually never ever done it, however I have actually meddled trout spey a bit here in the Rockies. What I have actually had the ability to do, nevertheless, reads up on and find out as much as I can (without in fact doing it) about two-handed casting. This current story in Fly Angler Publication by John Larison captured my eye since he discusses the requirement to break a few of the long-established guidelines of fishing Skagit lines.
In specific, he dives into the information on how to better fish Skagit lines in rivers where two-handed rods formerly never ever ventured.
” Just 15 years earlier, fly anglers needed to choose their winter season steelhead rivers with care,” Larison composes. “Due to the fact that of the rods and lines offered then, just those streams with a broad floodplain and a sluggish gradient easily accepted a swung fly. With the existing wholesale adoption of compact Skagit heads, fly anglers have actually found a brand-new world of alternatives: greatly timbered, quick rivers in mountainous surface– locations where fish tend to be huge, chrome, and aggressive.”
