Lake Fishing - Switch Rods

Not just for moving water.

We’ve got our fourth of four videos today in our mini-series of videos on lake fishing.  After getting an introduction to fly fishing on lakes, some tips on lake fishing with a tough backcast, and a look at fly selection for lake fishing, now we get to learn about using switch rods on lakes.

In this video, George Cook covers

  • Basic switch rod rigging techniques
  • How to use a switch rod when backcast room is limited
  • The Perry Poke adapted to lake fishing
  • Using change of direction casts to cover different water
