Dave, we have not met. I live in Wdm. Some time this spring we can meet up.

Question Dave, Are you looking to cast longer? Or just looking for solutions for the spillway?....the limited back casting room?

If just looking for distance, the look for a shooting head. If looking for ways to beat that steep bank and limited back cast, look at some single hand Spey techniques. Shoot me a PM and we can meet up some time
