Spey casting is the fastest growing segment in fly-fishing, and for good reason. Originally the province of long, two-handed rods on misty Scottish Atlantic salmon rivers, modern Spey casting provides any fly-fisherman with a host of casting tools to problem-solve even the most challenging fishing situation with either single-handed or double-handed rods.
Join these three internationally acclaimed instructors and casters as they amiably de-mystify the spey cast by focusing on common mechanics shared by all fly casts, and clearly explain the advantages of the Traditional, Scandinavian, and Skagit styles of Spey casting with both single and double-handed rods. Professionally directed, produced, and filmed on location on the Deschutes River, Oregon, this DVD is a must have for any fly fisher.
