Spey Casting (and fishing) on our "WRONG" side

Over the years I've run into a lot of anglers who do not Spey cast on their non-dominant side. They'll resort to all sorts of gymnastics to avoid doing so, occasionally embedding a hook in themselves as a result. Probably most of us have seen the gruesome pictures of a dude with a big salmon fly stuck in his eye. There are some very good reasons for learning to cast on our 'wrong' side. In this video not only am I contending with a ridiculous wind and high water, but I've also been dealing with some issues in my right arm and shoulder. So not only was I forced to cast on my left side, I ended up for the first time, fishing, stripping and managing line on my left side as well. My only (very brief) left hand fishing experience previously had been done with 15' rods and long belly lines where no stripping was necessary. Now I not only had to cast and fish on my left side, my right hand had to learn to strip and manage loops of line as well. Take a look at how this all worked out. Bottom line: there's no magic bullet for 'wrong' side casting, it's just a matter actually getting on the water and making yourself do it.
