Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Spey casting

Thanks to you both for this thread. I just got back from Scotland and am itching to learn Spey casting if I can!

The Goose Creek Casting Club in Ashburn, VA, has several FFI-certified Casting Instructors who are proficient at single-hand and double-hand Spey. 

Check them out on Facebook. Their monthly Casting Church is typically on the third Sunday of the month at Windmill Park in Ashburn. 

Best, 

Owen

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: The River Dee, Scotland

Rob, I was just on the Dee and Tay rivers but didn't get the chance to fish them. I can tell you observationally that they looked like the most perfect fly-fishing water you could ask for. I initially looked into fishing there through a service called Salmon Fishing Holidays Scotland who were recommended by the hotel I stayed in the Old Manse of Blair in Pitlochry. I talked to their director, Samantha Datta, and she was lovely. She gave me some info on a fishing trip on the Tay, but I think they guide all over. Could be a good starting point for when you visit.

Also, the spey salmon flies are just fantastic for tying inspiration.
