Spey Casting | Spey Casting Schools | Spey Fishing for Atlantic Salmon

Spey Casting is a style of two-handed fly fishing used throughout the world. Spey casts offer many advantages compared to the single hand over head style which has triggered the growth in popularity on North American rivers and especially on the Great Lakes Tributaries for Salmon, Trout and Steelhead. Spey Fishing the Salmon River, Deerfield River and others in the Northeast is a favored way to cover more water with longer casts while swing flies and streamers.

Why Spey & Scandi Casting?

Casting Areas: No overhead back casting necessary. Ability to cast safely with longer distances by creating a down wind "D Loop" over either shoulder to perform the Spey Casts.

Changing Directions: 90 Degrees of change in direction is done in less then 1/3 the time of traditional single handed overhead casting.

Little Line Stripping: Once the head of the line is on the water, you can can cast it all with out stripping in line. Two handed Spey Casting and Fishing is a another way to extend your seasons into below freezing temperatures.

Line Control: The Longer, Two Handed, 12' to 15' Spey Rods allow for easier mending capabilities and properly presented flies.

Near Effortless: No overhead casting strokes required. All casts are accomplished, in front of you, with considerably less arm motion compared to single hand casts. The Long Rods do the work with much less muscular effort resulting in little or no fatigue once you achieve the proper casting form.

Feel The Pull: Feeling the pull or tug of a fish on responsive rod while tight lining a swinging fly is exhilarating. The excitement of setting the hook, doing battle right through the release, is a feeling second to none.

Relaxing & Enjoyable: Longer Casts, Covering More Water with Properly Presented Flies allows you to dissolve into a calm state of mind and a peaceful encounter with the outdoors while fishing, as fly fishing is meant to be.

To Swing & Track Flies Effectively, understanding the spey fly, it's profile and the proper speed needed for optimal presentations is important. Sometimes critical fly tracking techniques, as well as a properly tied fly to a leader are major elements required to achieve maximum effectiveness and success.
