Right, a scenario most of you have come across, but one I have not worked out yet!
So, standing on the right hand bank, fairly overgrown bank with a strongish down stream wind, double hander and I want to put a fly across the current.
The rod is 12'6", the line is a Guidline 36' foot shooting head designed for the rod.
A standard double spey means the D loop is on the bank and thus the fly catches the grass as it whips past. I tried putting my anchor further out, but to no avail.
A circle C/Snap T to the left and then a single spey off my left shoulder worked, but was too dangerous due to the downstream wind.
A snake role put the anchor further across the stream, but still had the d loop on the bank.
Any suggestions?
Once in the water I was fine with a double spey, just an issue when on the bank.
