Spey casting for salmon is, for many, the pinnacle of fly fishing. But, after travelling miles for those precious few days on a great river, you really don't want your casting to let you down. So let me demystify Spey casting with double-handed rods.
Salmon LESSONS
I teach Spey casting for all levels from complete beginners to experienced anglers. With the myriad of lines and styles available today - from traditional Spey lines to shooting heads, Scandi and Skagit styles - Spey casting can seem complicated and confusing. But it doesn't have to be. I teach all Spey casts to hep you cope with any fishing situation and can recommend just the right equipment to suit your fishing conditions. Top quality tackle is always available for use in lessons.
“Many thanks for your instruction, very helpful. I look forward to putting it into practice on the Tay...It is invaluable to have had the actual experience of personal instruction in these casts.
