Does anyone use Mike Maxwell's style of casting with the rod clasped to the chest and an upward thrust to shoot the line? I have never seen another spey fisherman use this style on either the Gaspe or Salmon River, NY. The method is described in Mike's book The Art and Science of Spey Fishing.
I have tried the cast and it is difficult to shoot line. You are lucky to get the head to lay out beyond the rod. I am interested in comments from others and would like to hear about casting distances (reel to fly) achieved.
