Stevie does this help
Two handed fly casting, speycasting techniques by Al Bhur
Page 78
DRIFT, the intentional movement of the rod in the same direction that the line is travelling after the stop,This rod repositioning increases the length of the casting stroke to the following cast

Spey casting Simon Gawesworth,Page 280
DRIFT,When the rod drifts backat the end of the backstroke,while the rear loop is travelling back,this gives the caster a longer forward stroke greater accelaration ,higher line speed and more distance

Reference in the following DVD'S SPEY TO Z by Way Yin and Topher Brown,
incidentley a Mr Scott MACKENZIE ,done one of the testimonts to DVD,
well it says that name on cover and that he is Ness side ghillie,instructor and three times gla game fair int spey casting champion
,maybe Scott can put tuppenceworth in assume it was the 14 footer i had shot of stevie that worked a lot better with v loop and drift long rod movements
The drift is also mentioned in Joan Wullf's dynamics of fly casting,but thats overhead casting
thats me bein a smart ass stevie waiting for the pelters honest am a big boy willnae tell ma da ,or as some say spoil sport ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

There was only a few minutes with the drift today on the Norway and Afs, the rest was the evils of shooting heads and that gentle Tay Breeze I like to refer to as "that ******* wind". Who parked the boat so near the demo croy anyway

Look at the loading curve on that blank, I stand corrected the line does go quite well.

75' head + the gentle tay breeze in the trap is only going to end one way. You had a few moments dancing with the Norway too,

It's never dull on Newtyle

flea was in the jacket 15 minutes after starting.

The guests always leave with another pearl of wisdom. Last visit it was;

Norway +75ft outside the tip and a competition is always going to end in the rod complaining. Bad times

This time it was when the "Gentle Tay Breeze" rattles downstream and your mid cast, your lying to yourself thinking "act, I'll make the cast...", unless you have been at the dancing recently then your probably not going to be able to shimmy out the way before it impales you. David's been practicing

no chance do that you'll get a flea in the face

Salars were a safety precaution, they are that feeble in size 13 I'm sure I would have no problem pulling them out. I picked up a bundle of weed last night one hooked and it bent one of the point out. Useless useless, far too expensive hooks. That flea is pretty although, tasty if your a salmon
