If making long casts is your game, consider fishing with a two-hander, like a<br />
switch rod or a short (11’-13’) Spey rod. Spey casting strokes allow for greater<br />
distance when bank vegetation limits your backcast. A minimum of a<br />
6-weight two-hander is recommended for throwing streamers, consider a<br />
9- or 10-weight for handling heavy articulated patterns. Two-handed rods<br />
can also be rigged for nymphing. Long-belly “Speydicator” lines allow for<br />
extremely long drag-free drifts. Being on the longer side as opposed to most<br />
single-handers, and two-handed rod allows you to fish and retrieve a longer<br />
nymphing leader without the necessity of beaching your catch in order to land<br />
it.
