In checking out Beyond and Back, I noticed this ‘pending project’ notice re video for shooting Skagit heads. I was introduced to this technique, which I have little time to practice of late, by renowned Deschutes/Clack guide Matt McCrary. So, this project will be a welcome addition for a novice like me. I am set up now with my Skagit and Scandi and ready to set forth now that the snow has receded and the rivers don’t seem to be blown out. Too bad the video is not out now, before I develop too many bad habits…
Just picked this up on Spey Pages from Riveraddict. If you don’t know who that is you better do some homework. It sounds like he has teamed up with Mishler to develop a new skagit casting video.
I think that most everybody on here knows by now that I am the “Skagit Crusader”. Now that I am at an age where I have more fishing days behind me than I have to look forward to, I am becoming much more aware of my own personal mortality. Add to this my passion for fishing and Skagit casting… I have put in enough time fishing, and in such a variety of circumstances and venues, as to only reinforce my feeling and belief that the Skagit approach is not just a justifiably distinct methodology of its own, but that it is also one of the most versatile ways for utilizing a fly rod.
