Properly used, a spey rod will prove to be a superior tool in almost all anadromous fishing situations. The longer rod offers better line control, better casting accuracy and makes it easier to fight big fish.

I often use a spey cast when nymphing for trouts with a 5wt single hander as well.

Fly fishing for steelhead is truly the pinnacle of sport fishing. Grab a spey rod and join the adventure- there is always something new to learn.

Remember, anyone can catch fish with bait.
