Spey Casting Instruction

        Spey casting was developed in Scotland in the mid 1800's on the river Spey.  The river Spey's high weed laden banks made traditional fly casting very difficult. Alas, the spey cast was born. Now used today in so many situations including for salmon & steelhead, trout, saltwater, and even on small streams when there is little room to maneuver.

Why Spey Cast?

Little room needed - When spey casting you minimize the amount of line you carry behind you. This makes brush covered or high bank fishing situations possible.
 
Less effort - A two-hand rod requires very little effort to cast.  Your lower hand takes all of the stress off of your dominant casting upper hand.
 
Better line control - Being longer, two-hand rods manage and control your fly line much better then conventional fly rods. Fly control is one of the best ways to increase your catch rate.
 
Less stripping - Since spey rods can handle longer lengths of line, there can be very little stripping involved between casts.
 
Change direction easily - Taking your line from straight downstream and casting it back out at a 45-90 degree angle to the current is easy and effortless, very little stripping and no false casting.
 
Fun & rewarding - Being more involved then conventional methods, spey casting is fun and rewarding to learn.

If you are interested in spey casting, there's no need to look anywhere else.  Whether you are new to the two-handed game or have some experience under your belt, shop owner Andrew Moy can help.  To date, Andrew has taught over 1000 anglers both basic and advanced techniques and has demonstrated for numerous fly fishing groups and organizations. A lesson or two will demystify the art of spey casting and you'll be on the water on your own in no time.
