Switch Rod Casting Techniques - Shorlines & Estuaries

Switch Rod Casting Techniques - Shorlines & Estuaries

Jeff Putnam, a Federation of Fly Fishers Certified Single-Handed and Two-Handed Casting Instructor, demonstrates how best to approach saltwater shoreline and estuary fishing opportunities, emphasizing the strength of switch rods at covering water and controlling the fly line in challenging currents. Shoreline and estuary areas have lots of food coming in. You may have some baitfish coming into the estuary or creek as it comes into the surf. And you also have waves in the surf zone turning up the sand where there are a lot of little crabs and sand eels. So there's plenty of food for these fish to kind of congregate in this area, making it one of the more productive spots you fish in shorelines. This video segment on switch rod techniques is from the "Switch Rod Casting Techniques" (DVD and Blu-Ray Disc). Click Here For More Information
