A sequence of photos demonstrating how to Snap D cast
Ally Gowans demonstrates how to use the Downstream Snap or Snap D cast efficiently. This is one of my favourite fishing casts when the wind is downstream especially when using sinking shooting heads. With practice the line can be repositioned accurately for completion in the same manner as for the Double Spey. It is by far the best cast to choose from a high bank with a downstream wind. Spey Casting Made Easy DVD contains detailed instructions on the physics and ergonomics of most Spey casting techniques and is available for online purchase.
Snap D (Downstream) Cast
