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.

Hi Walt,
Just a note to thank you for the great day spent learning the two handed Spey Cast. As you know I had never tried it and your one day lesson really got me started on the right track. There is a lot to it, river right, river left, retracing your cast and what I liked the most watching the fly turn right before the forward cast. You have a great approach for teaching the method and coaching through the steps. The Deerfield River is an ideal classroom. Really enjoyed the day.
Thanks again,
John Tarrant
