casts for two handed salmon rods


well controlled overhead cast with extremely tight loop
casted by Günter Feuerstein with a two handed rod using
Göran Andersson's Underhand Casting Technique (picture: A. Ivanovic)

 

explanation:

0° = fly in position straight downstream - ready to pick it up
 0°- 45° fly picked up from position straight downstream and presented to target in an angle of 45° downstreams

Please be adviced that the location the videos were taken was used for teaching purposes. Some casts might not be used in such a situation at all!
