{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Spey casting from a dock/shore

Excellent, thanks guys! I'm likely horsing it a bit, will try to slow everything down. As soon as it stops snowing...

Parallel to the dock was my answer as well.  Also try and place your anchor slightly forward to your position. This will give you a smaller D loop.

I caved and bought a 13ft 7wt for myself for Christmas (thanks Dalton, Dan and Art for the advice!). Of course the only place I've been able to find to cast it that isn't frozen up this week is off a dock on the Charles River (I live in Boston now). I (kinda) know how to Snap T and Double Spey cast, but I found that it couldn't really cast without the line or fly hitting the dock that I was standing on. Is this a limitation of those casts, or am I just bad at it? Any casts I can try that are better for when you don't have any water next to you or behind you at all?
