Free Introduction to Speycasting Clinic.
Thanks. The warm weather is fast approaching and its time to sharpen up our Speycasting skills once again. if you are new to Spey, this is an opportunity to see what it's all about before investing your hard earned money. I am once again holding my Free Introduction to Speycasting Clinic. The Spey Clinics will start at 09.00 Am at Glenwood Park on the Fox River in Batavia, and will finish when the last person leaves the water. . I will bring extra Spey Outfits for anyone who needs to borrow one, plus an assortment of Spey and Switch lines if you need to match a line to a rod. We will be casting fluffies, no flies. You will need to bring sunglasses and waders April 20th. May 18th. June 15th. July 20th. August 17th. September 21st. October 19th. This clinic will probably turn into a fishing with the Spey rod clinic; covering lines, flies, mending, shooting line management and stepping down through a run. Everyone should be able to cast in some form or fashion by then and Steelhead season will be fast approaching.
