Love your videos. Great technique in covering the pool. Great camera angles as well.

Appreciate the detailed article, heading to gaspe in June. I have a 11’6 switch and a couple single handers I planned on fishing. I wondered if I could throw dries on the longer rod. Hopefully I can land a beat on the cascapeidia. tight lines

Yes you can! Salmon fishing in the gaspe has never been more popular. Lots of fishermen everywhere! You got to get lucky in 48 hr lottery! Good luck!!

Sweet fish! It's interesting how similar they look to brown trout.

I’ve been fishing upstream dry flies for steelhead with a double handed rod for three decades. It’s definitely easier to get them to rise to a dry fly while fishing it downstream as it skates across the water and gets their tension in short order. Meanwhile, I wouldn’t even think of trying to spey casting when fishing an upstream dry. IT causes too much commotion on the water surface with the anchor. I think it’s a disruptive way to cast under most circumstances and I’m surprised so many people are enthralled by the technique. I learned to cast from a word champion fly caster who coiled loops in his hand and “shot” them on an overhead cast. I became enthralled with that style because it doesn’t beat up the shoulders while efficiently delivering your fly into the zone

I never heard of salmon taken on dry fly. Why do they eat a dry fly if they don't feed in the river, a real mistery. Well done!

They basicly attack whatever that's irritating them enough and the more annyoing it is the more they will move to either whack it with their tail or try to bite it to death. During spawning you can even see big salmon bite over the middle of small salmon intruding their territory.

When they ‘’stripe’’ across the water, they make a sort of V shape that triggers the salmon.

Instict. They lived and ate in the river like 3 to 4 years before they went to ocean. They sure know how to eat that. Of course they don't attack dries to eat them, but the flies sort of wake up their instinct and they go for it. Here in Québec, we do at least 50% of atlantic salmon fishing with dry flies. You can even catch them with tiny trout flies such as Adams or elk hair caddis... Cheers.

I'm curious as to why you would choose a two hander for dry fly fishing.
@flyfishingmitch
6 ай бұрын
Many reasons! Mostly because it's really fun! In bigger rivers, it makes it much easier for me to reach further distances than a single hander. Also helps if there isn't much backcast room behind you. I go into detail about casting a 2 hander in a blog I linked in the description. Check it out!

nice video, what equipment did you use, rod length and line weight? It looks a Scandi line with a delicate pose ?

Thanks! I am using a winston 14'6" 8 weight with a 63' Gaelforce equalizer line. Check out this blog I wrote on dry flyfishing with the 2 hander. It goes into some detail on equipment. ... salmonflypassion.blogspot.com/2023/10/dry-flyfishing-with-spey-rods-for.html

Why is this ‘Spey Fishing’ please? It doesn’t look like the Spey.
@flyfishingmitch

You are 100% correct. It is not the Spey or Spey fishing. We North Americans have taken the term and used it as a general reference to the two-handed fly rod and two-handed fly rod fishing. I have purposely chosen this title to reference two-handed casting. Hope that helps. Thanks for the question!
