wonder if anyone out there - perhaps someone from the Scottish contingent - could contribute some advice about the origin of the reverse spey cast. By reverse, I mean a cast where, in the instance of the right-hand up caster and a Double Spey from the left bank the right hand comes to a point where it functions as the left hand up. I was taught this by someone who claimed to have invented it from necessity and declared that he had never seen or heard of anyone else using it, but then Derek Brown mentioned in his video that casters up on the Spey and Tay used it. Does anyone know when this cast started to be used and where? It isn't mentioned in 'The Angler's Cast from 1960 or in 'Salmon Fishing' by Eric Taverner & Jock Scott (1972). Neither is it mentioned in Falkus' book 'Salmon Fishing' from 1984.
Anyone have any clue?
