Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} April 10th Spey Casting Church

I will let you know next time I head out, but it would be more like the blind leading the blind

Super clinic! 

I'd be interested in tagging along with someone who fishes two-handed for shad on the Potomac to see how it is done.  I have an Orvis 11'4" 4-wt with a Skagit head and sink tip that I'd love to try out on the Potomac—VA or DC side.

Thx,

Pete

Subject: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} April 10th Spey Casting Church

 

Eight people turnout for Sunday's single and two-hand Spey Casting Church.

 

About five of the attendees were completely new to Spey casting. The other three had some experience or had been trying to learn on their own.

 

To start things off, Regan, the Spey instructor, discussed the background and characteristics of single-handed rods, switch-rods, and Spey-rods. Attendees were introduced to general Spey fly line characteristics. He also touched on the differences between casting, switch casting (a dynamic roll cast), and Spey casting (changing the direction of a dynamic roll cast).

 

Through Regan's generosity, each type of rod was made available for on-the-water demonstrations and practice. Each attendee had an opportunity to get one-on-one hands-on experience with the single and two-hand rods and, with Switch and Spey casting.

 

Casting Church takes place 8-to-11 am on the second Sunday of the month at Fletchers Cove's lower parking lot. Looking forward to seeing you there.


Daniel
