I have to learn this first, I still am not sure about the "Anchor", and need to learn by trial and error as usual. I would be interested in hearing about the other cast you mention. Jimi
On the spey note.... The key advantages of the spey rod are LONG casts (80+ feet no problem) and no back-cast space required. Because of the long rod you can pick up the whole line, thus avoiding stripping. You spend more time fishing. It definitely takes time to master the set-up, D-loop and anchor, however once you get the timing it's effortless. Their are a bunch of casts you can do as well based on wind and which side of the river you're on. Less fatiguing than a single hander.
