Well, I spent the evening teaching beginners to spey cast, as far as my abilities allow, and as usually predicted the ladies did better than the men. I am going fishing tomorrow with one of these TFO speys- think I'll line up the 13' 6/7.
Casting generally is progressing well. This is my cast from 50 yds to the pole in the picture. I did this about three times in a row then began to get tired. (Sorta peaked for the day here).
Here's what I'm looking for: something like a 75-90 foot head with something like 550-600 grains for overhead and switch casting on a 15' #10. I'd like it to sink pretty quick. What's out there and, particularly, what can survive 20 degree temperatures? (I froze a Rio Intermediate shooting line last year fishing hot water with air temps in the teens).
Thanks a lot!
