Spey Casting and Steelhead schools

The key to becoming a great spey fisherman is getting great instruction by great instructors. When it comes to training the next group of Steelhead spey fisherman, we here at The Fly Fishing Shop in Welches are leading the pack! We have been offering 1 or 2 Winter steelhead schools a month and they filled up so quickly that we had to add more! The next classes available are April 7, 8 and May 19, 20. As the season pushes on, the tactics often change. Learn these tactics from people that make their living on the waters of the Sandy, Clackamas, and Deschutes rivers. During the class we will help you read water, choose sink tips, and select flies. With the cooperation from a wild winter or summer steelhead, we hope to be able to aid in fish fighting and landing tactics as well. The first day is a casting day where our team takes the students down to the river and gives them on the water instruction on casting Skagit and Scandi lines. There are many styles and lengths of rods available to cast with. We have a big question and answer session, along with a segment on how to self-diagnose your own casting problems when you don't have a guide around to help. The second day starts out earlier with a small amount of class room time, and then we head right to the river for on the water presentations on fishing. You will then experience a true guided trip where you can test your new-found skills in real fishing situations. Lunch and non-alcoholic beverages will be provided. You can take the class as a two day learning adventure or you can take either day on its own. We here at the fly shop try to accommodate all. Let us know what we can do for you! 800-266-3971
