Instead of trying to explain the basics of spey casting here, we highly recommend you begin your learning process by purchasing one of Tom Larimer’s Skagit Revolution instructional DVD’s. Tom has been teaching anglers to spey cast for over 20 years now, and in my opinion, he is arguably the best instructor out there when it comes to explaining technique. If you want to your learning curve to be as steep as possible, buying this DVD is a no-brainer.
