A big thank you to Bill Kiene for this forum, creating the space to help these kinds of informative dialogues to occur. Otherwise, it'd be like shooting blind LOL.

Really Carl, that's interesting, I had no idea. That's funny because several years ago I taught an on the water class under a company as a volunteer, and they never mentioned anything about needing a...
Thank you for the resources Bill, greatly appreciated!
Hello! I am Nathan Nguyen, a local self-taught Spey caster and fisherman. I want to teach Spey casting, so far I have been helping people I meet on the river. I'm really excited to focus on sharing...
I definitely agree!
Thanks for the reply, You're welcome! Yesterday started slow, I put this fly on then caught what looked to be a personal best then the following cast was fish not far off in size. Cheers!
Sweet! I'm happy to hear that, it's been working fantastic this season. A new shad fly is in the works, 7 in a row today.
Cheers,
Nathan

Hello, I am planning on having a friend build a TFO DC 5/6 Spey (recommends 450 grain). I am able to buy an Ariflo Rage Compact 480 grain for half the price and I am wondering if the 480 grain will...
I recently got into an argument with my parents about my belief in catch and release. I said," I will not keep/bring home one steelhead trout I catch." The steelhead trout fishing has become so bad...
I am always down to fish what ever with anyone! Recently I was introduced to spey casting and can probably see myself doing that a lot more! I am mostly free all week except Tuesdays and Thursdays...
