Steelheading 101 Presentation

Jeff Putnam’s Fly Fishing Schools will be hosting a steelhead fly fishing event at the Gristmill Access on the American River September 9, 2023. This event will help attendees prepare for the fall and winter steelhead seasons. Three presentations are scheduled and will include two-handed spey casting, single handed spey casting and steelhead fishing techniques. Bring your two-handed or single-handed fly rod, waders and boots as casting instructors will be on hand to help attendees with casting instruction. Try out our custom Navigator H20 spey rods, learn how to cast and fish for steelhead, meet professional steelhead fly tyer and author Dennis Lee. I hope to see you there. -JP

That should be a wonderful free event where you would learn something more about fly fishing for Steelhead.

Lots of folks will be there with common goals and love for Steelhead.

You could learn something about Spey casting as well.



Jeff moved up north to around Gold Hill on the Middle Rogue River near one of my mentors, Al Perryman and the famous rod builder, Gary Anderson.

Jeff Putnam bought a comfortable guide raft and is taking folks out on the Middle Rogue River for fresh Summer Steelhead.

I have to put a plug in for this, if you get a chance you should attend.

I took my first Spey lesson from JP 16 years ago. Great teacher. Highly recommended!
Looking forward to this. Been a long time since we have had a Spey gathering here.

Very generous to offer this to the community for only the cost of getting in the park gate

I wish I could go just to see lots of old friends.

Hope this is well attended, such a great offer! Unfortunately and ironically I will be on the Rogue that weekend.

That is a wonderful reason to not make it.

Be sure to get out at "Dark-Thirty"
