Today's photo is from master casting instructor Juergen Friesenhahn, fishing the Barrio SLX line in Germany.

Juergen has a nice website with an interesting blog in both German and English. http://wurfkurse.de/

nice loop ! and yes, Juergen's a very interesting and funny person. we passed our CCI exam together near Munich in (i can't remember...  :X2 :X1 :z4 )
anyhow, this article on a quite unconventional manner of cleaning fly lines is worth reading.

I like his slip-spey cast thing. Very useful!

Would this cast work from a bank ?, to me the fly seems to go behind the angler then anchors 90-120deg before the sweep that creates the D loop,  I fear I would do someone an injury. or if I got the flick wrong, hook the back of my head.
but would still give this ago,

although it might not be the most ideal manner i can't see why not. as any other Spey cast the anchor can be placed at different angles.
in this case, just as with a single Spey, start the sweep with the rod tip closer to the bank instead of straight down on the dangle to vary the anchor position point.
if you do manage to hook the back of your head please be sure to get this on film and share it with us, ok ?  :z4  :cool: :z4

anyhow, this cast is definitely one to practice in different circumstances before fishing. no hooks/flies !

Done last night...but with a 14" tube fly and a size 5/0 hook :)

When Pike fly fishing I retrieve right to my feet as often Pike will follow. Trying to get a large fly out again, starting with just the leader out the tip is a chore with a Rio Outbound Short. Lots of waving about until the head starts to load the rod.

I therefore thought about the snap slip spey and adjusted it for my needs. A Snap t with a poly leader and fly, use that to anchor as I swept around 20 feet of head around to my left, back towards the fly, sort of a spey to aerialise the line and  one false cast and the head was gone :)
