Getting back to the question of Spey casting for pike, Dan Mcguire uploaded another video yesterday with regards to the set up he uses to cast all manner of different flies and especially how easy it is to cast them considerable distance. Since I started using this method I've found its not the distance I'm battling with,but finding a fly that will stay elevated long enough before it starts dragging on the bottom. Even with a slow sink intermediate on, once I've cast it 90 to 100ft, with all the rocks here around the island, I'm getting snagged up more times than not.
I have some decent bridges to fish under (Replot bridge being one of them), that have some depth under them but on a whole I'm fishing generally in depths of around a meter to two meters. 
My Rattle n Hums seem to be okay but I'm going to have to go back to the drawing board as I've found the wire with the beads on..... that act as a counter weight and keeps the hook point up turned........ hinders casting slightly. What I do know is that its going to have to incorporate some form of bendback style fly or at least a fly I dont have to use a weed guard with.
