    Phillip Krista: With a “classic” spey rod designed to perform in the age-old tradition of spey fishing, the art of spey casting is beautiful to watch and intensely satisfying to perform. You reach the very pinnacle of all the angling skills and can enjoy a lifetime of lasting pleasure.

    Walt Geryk: The event host will be sharing his knowledge of 2 handed casting and fishing. As an accomplished single and two handed fly and spey caster and fisherman, he also is the lead instructor for Spey Schools in the Northeast endorsed by Hardy USA.

    John Troiano: Started fly fishing about 10 years ago with a trip to Key Largo......started freshwater fishing the following spring.He has fished in FL, MT, WY, ID, NH, ME, NY, CT and RI. and was selected to be a fly fishing casting and fishing instructor for the Centennial Boy Scouts of America Jamboree in July 2010. There John became a Fly Fishing Merit Badge Counselor as well as an IGFA Certified Angling Instructor.
    Patrick Garner: Noted author and bamboo rod expert, will talk briefly about cane rods--their weight, speed, tapers and the incorrect belief that bamboo rods are easily broken. And more...

      Donated Event Essentials
    Walt's passion for the outdoors and the sport of fly fishing has also added the tasks of planning this 3rd annual fund raising event for Reel Recovery, the non-profit organization that conducts free fly-fishing retreats for men recovering from all forms of cancer. When not guiding and instructing, Walt can be found casting a long line on the Salmon River Region of NY and the Deerfield & Westfield Rivers of Western Mass.
