In this episode of RIO's "How To" series, RIO brand manager Simon Gawesworth explains how to make a Snap T cast with a Spey rod. While watching this, you will get a step-by-step lesson on how to make a good Snap T cast, with each of the three casting strokes broken down and explained in Simon's typically clear and simple style.

In addition, Simon runs through some of the commonest casting mistakes anglers make when they are learning this cast, as well as a few subtle tips that plenty of average Spey casters make. Watch, learn and enjoy!

RIO's "How To" videos are a series of short films that explain all you need to know to learn a particular way to fish or cast. Where applicable, each film talks through the gear that you need, shows how to rig the gear, how to read the water, and how to fish that particular technique. These educational films are packed with information and top tips designed to improve the knowledge and skill level of all fly fishers. Each one is bought to you by a RIO employee or a RIO brand ambassador.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
