[GH] I have attached a message from Gary Eaton on historical reading material as well as testing in general.
Now, on to the next task.
Task 10. Demonstrate the double Spey cast, explaining when and where to use this cast. Cast to a minimum distance of 40 feet. Use a single-handed rod.
Allowances will be made if casting on grass - the candidate may opt to use a grass leader.
Expectations : The cast must be executed in a smooth manner, demonstrating a proper lift, position of the anchor and formation and alignment of the D or V loop in line with the target. The candidate must be able to explain the conditions that would determine when and where this cast would be used including wind direction and bank position. To tailing loop on the forward cast.
Passed (___)
Failed (___)
(___) Did not know where or to use )bank / wind direction).
(___) No lift ( Dragged line into place).
(___) Anchor piled or L shaped.
(___) Poorly formed D-loop (Not in plane with forward cast).
(___) Tailed forward cast.

Since we've had a lot of discussion on Spey casts and testing with our messages on the switch cast and the single Spey, I anticipate most of the comments will refer directly to the double Spey.
