Learning to Spey Cast
Learning or improving your Spey casting need not be a difficult and frustrating experience. Like many sporting techniques, Golf and Tennis included you wont learn and master all there is to know in a morning. That said I could give a complete Novice enough information and technical understanding that with some practice on their part they will be able to fish safely from both sides of the river. This will include understanding the importance of safe casting under differing wind directions and which casts to use in both up and downstream winds. I will also cover the important subject of safe wading and both entering and exiting the river as well a full overview of the importance of fishing and wading safety.
For Intermediate casters I can significantly increase your awareness of what goes into making effortless and effective Spey casts and give you a structured learning plan to take away with you. Once at this stage the need for self-diagnosis is even greater and I can give you the knowledge to achieve this.
For Advanced casters there are times when you just can’t see what it is that you're not getting quite right. This is the fine-tuning and can sometimes pay the greatest dividends to getting your casting just right. I can identify areas in your cast that might need just a little tweak which otherwise you would be oblivious to. Sessions at this level rarely need to be longer than a couple of hours.
I offer tuition in blocks of either 2 hours, Half days (4 hrs) or Full days (7hrs). I can also incorporate some fishing as part of your days casting tuition and can also include lots of quality photographs and where appropriate Digital Video Analysis to make sure you get the most from your Modern Spey Casting experience.
