May 14-15 there will be a number of "on-the-water" casting/fishing programs each day.

The plan is to provide a week-end that will entertain and inform you.
Of course Bob Larsell and Laura Coblentz will be back with
their famous hospitality trailer.
If you are interested in meeting other steelhead spey fishers and hope to learn a lot about spey casting and more about steelhead fishing, the Sandy River Spey Clave is for you. The event will start at Oxbow Park on Saturday morning the 14th of May and conclude on Sunday 15th. Exhibitors may set up on Friday May 13.

This time of year there should be plenty of Summer Steelhead. It is also the peak of the Spring Chinook run. The days are long and the weather is warm.
This event was first proposed by The International Spey Page and Discussion Group.
If you are interested in spey rod casting and fishing, we would strongly recommend that you join this warm friendly group. Spey Discussion Group
