Tongariro Roll Cast : www.newzealandfishing.com

For all the guys saying this scares fish...WRONG. The last couple of years I have done almost all spey casting. I have had fish hit my fly while shaking the head out,hit my line at the white mouse, and fin next to me while I repeatedly cast. Nice cast by the way.

Every fish within 75 yards got spooked. Ok for Salmon fishing on big rivers with Spey rods, Not here. I suppose it was just a casting demonstration in any case.

Tight lines everyone.

Wow, must have put down every fish within a hundred yards...way too much water disturbance!

[iwthorpe]

That's a very perceptive comment. Of course, the reason that fishing guides on the Tongariro are do this cast is because they find they catch fewer fish that way.

hey andrew, where abouts in newzealand do you do most of your fishing?

[fistle]

what is wrong with a simple double spey or snake roll....dumping the line on the water like this is just bad technique !

[newzealandfishing]

Admittedly the snake roll and double spey do require less movements but I feel that the dump used here - similarly in a Perry Poke - actually allows the development of a very big tight D-Loop and hence results in a longer cast - though for most situations I find I tend to use double spey or snake roll from the true right and a T snap (or snap t or whatever it is called) from the true left being a right hander.
