Here is one nice video I found a few days ago. Sorry if this was posted before but Travis Johnson does a really great job in this video explaining spey casting.

Worth a watch.

Maybe because I started with Skagit and I'm not an awesome competition caster like Travis but I am in Tom Larimer's camp when it comes to anchor placement...works for me, YMMV

Just one look at that dudes hat should tell you all you need to know....

Pretty much, yeah. It's says "here's a guy who can cast over 200 feet..."

And Larimer is the dude who designed the lines 90% of us use. Tough to get a good swing in a casting pond though...

And I was just kidding about the hat.

Try and throw a rock but keep it in front of your head....kinda tough eh? Sometimes when you can't wade out past the brush this is necessary, and most of the time this is a spot you don't need to cast very far as its a steep drop. The more room you have the further back you can set your anchor and the more power you gain.

Next chapter is about leaving a foot of running line out to gain power VS stripping a foot in to minimize the size of your D loop...
