On stream Switch Rod instruction

What is a Switch Rod? It is a rod that has unlimited potential in a variety of casting and fishing applications for the Truckee River. An 11 foot, two handed rod in a five weight and six weight, lined with the new short Skagit Lines from Rio, allow an angler to make a spey cast on the Truckee River. Eliminating the use of a back cast enables an angler to fish large heavy flies or swing soft hackles to the toughest reaches. A switch rod is a perfect tool for the difficult back casting situations you will encounter on the Truckee River. When it comes to nymphing, there is nothing better than a Switch Rod. Long mends and hard to reach seams feel effortless with the long rod length of a Switch Rod. Snap T, double spey, switch cast, and perry poke are all casts you can learn in a day along the banks of the Truckee River with Gilligan. Come see what all the hype is about.
