Hi Walt,
Just a quick note to say thanks for the Spey School experience. It was great to hang out with fellow enthusiasts in a great setting, but most of all I'm grateful for your excellent instruction. I was pleasantly surprised by how much progress you managed to make through my thick skull and in reorienting my own uncoordinated motions in just 2 days. I definitely left wanting more, so I've marked the calendar for a return to Altmar around mid-September and again in November. Between now and then, I'll take a lighter 2-handed rod out on the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers for smallies and practice as best I can. Looking forward to putting the new Hardy reel and a 14-footer to work later in the year, and then out west next winter. All part of the pre- retirement training program.
Thanks for putting your passion to work for the betterment of us passionate anglers.

To swing flies effectively, you must understand the spey fly, it's profile and the proper speed needed for optimal presentation. Important fly tracking techniques, as well as a properly tied fly to a leader, are major elements required to achieve maximum effectiveness and success.
