Trout....
You are on a journey. An adventure really, and you have already taken the first step.....heck, I feel momentum developing already.
You opened your mind first. Then bought the stick, and now you are trolling (in the older usage) for info. BINGO!!!
I think you should pop over my way for a day. Be a good time for it....it's not far, and after a day you will have it.
Of course, you will lose it, and find it, and lose it, and etc......till it is in your bones.
A fancy roll cast describes it, with a little set up. You can google snap-T and watch, better than I can explain.
I will say that if you fly cast overhand, there is a continuous motion feeling.
Spey is a focus on the rod stops, and line anchors on the water.
My suggestion is to get a Rio Salmo/steel line. It's fishes like a regular wt forward dry line. ( I do it with a dry too...you can just imagine throwing Golden Stone to that rising fish that was always just out of range).
Also fish indy, and swing streamers. But the main difference is I can mend.......which when casting far with the Skagit, you can't.
To me, the mend is a bigger part of catching fish, than casting into the next county.
I've said before, how cool it is , when the the cast bleeds back to the little stick, small water, and fish.
I wish I had learned the Spey cast before all the other casts I was told to use.
Most guys want distance, so they buy a Skagit. I fish one of those as well....but I find it much less versatile.
The switch will be great for the Rio Grand river, not sure, you will blend in on the San Juan.
Not sure I want anyone seeing you doing this....the info should not fall into every hand......
So, which switch?
