Finally broke down and bought a copy of "International Spey Casting" last week. Felt like a kid on Christmas Day during the drive home from the tackle shop as I just couldn't wait to watch the video. :chuckle:
I also have a copy of Derek Brown's Spey MasterClass which I bought a few years ago. Both of these masters show the Snake Roll in their program.
I noticed a small difference between the two Snake Rolls as executed by Simon Gawesworth and Derek Brown. In the instructions in the tapes Simon's Snake Roll traces a much bigger circle during the setup while Derek's traces a much smaller circle during the "flip".
It might have been the single malt when I was watching the tapes :hehe: but I've at least learned not to discount small detail in the pursue of the art of fly fishing.
So does any of you noticed that small difference? and what are your preferred method of "flipping the egg" during your Snake Roll? Big circle or small, quick flip?
Regards,
Andy
