You don't =have= to wait for a chance at a salmon to use double hander.

You're getting ahead of me Derek. I'm not interested in salmon or any
other fish - I just would like to cast a two handed rod.

Er, yes. Actually I forgot to tell you to scrape the worst of the fish
scales off the corks before taking it on an upmarket beat - some people
don't understand you know.

As for the casting you just waggle it around a lot and hit the forward cast
a bit harder than you'd expect. You don't actually do anything you couldn't
do with a single hander. Admittedly the long rod gives you more time to set
the line up...

for eg the double spey with a #10 and a 15' rod....
....this way, that way, swing the loop behind lift the rod and punch as
opposed to whipwhipswishwhip which is how it goes with a 6' #4.

Happy Xmas

Have a cool Yule,
