Ramapo, and the Paulinskill. We also cater heavily to those traveling to
the Catskills of NY, PA, CT, NE Saltwater locations, and the Great Lakes tributaries (Salmon River in Pulaski, Cattaraugus Creek, Oak
Orchard, etc) for salmon and steelhead.
Spey Casting & Fishing
Our affiliate company East
Coast Spey provides lessons in spey casting for both single and double
handed anglers. We offer both group and private classes depending upon your
needs, wants, and desires.
Maybe you're new to spey and want to learn, maybe you're fishing for trout in a small
stream and can't keep your line out of the trees, maybe you want to cast large
saltwater patterns for stripers in a rip, or maybe you're heading off to Russia
or BC and need to hone your skills to maximize your trip investment. Simply put,
East Coast Spey can lead you to spey
casting success. We
also demonstrate for various groups, clubs, and organizations. Our goal is to demonstrate how spey casting can add effectiveness, efficiency and excitement to
fly fishing.

Missouri River, Montana
July 1st-8th, 2010
Do you Like dry fly fishing? If so, you'll love the
Missouri River. The Missouri is like a giant spring creek, only it's a tailwater. The rainbow and brown trout are super plentiful and extremely
hard fighting. Incredible hatches of caddis and PMD's drive hoards of big
trout to the surface. It's not uncommon to see a pod of 50-100 rainbows
rising continuously in formation or a smaller pod of large browns feeding along
a grassy bank. Truly a unique fishery. It is also a great nymph
fishery and the streamer fishing for big browns can also be outstanding...
