Spey casting with the two handed rod is becoming more and more popular. Interestingly, what were once specialized casts now appear to be revolutionizing fly fishing in Australia and New Zealand. There is also a growing number of saltwater anglers who find the extra length of these rods very helpful for casting the fly out over the surf or casting into strong winds.

The advantage to fly fishers in learning to spey cast is that in situations where a back cast is difficult, water becomes accessible to the fly that was previously the province of hardware, bait or float fishermen. 

In Fish Hard Cast Easy's 1/2 day class you will be introduced to the basic principles of Spey and Skagit casting. we will discuss spey rods, lines, reels and leaders. 

The instructor will demonstrate spey casting principles and will teach the most common spey casts for beginners including the Switch Cast, Single Spey, Snap-T, Snake Roll and Double Spey. Intermediate spey casters often attend this class to learn how to cast sinktips, fine-tune their skills, try different casting styles, and try various spey rod actions.
