What?!!! That's a prime native steelhead fishing weekend. Who's gonna' attend then, unless the rivers are blown out like they are this week? It was questionable enough to have it in mid-February, but there's few enough fish then that it's worth allocating a scarce weekend to the Spey casting demo.

I think the rationale was that the Sky was closed for fishing, therefore it would be a good time to hold the SpeyClave.

It will be a tough call if other rivers that ~are~ open are fishing well.

Everyone should attend this spey casting demo in March. No exceptions please.

it was when we could pull together all the various presenters and such. most importantly, simon g.

Sparks, having Simon there is worth the 'price of the trip' by itself! Neat guy, and have plenty of his book on hand for signing/sale.

NONE on spey casting has approached this/his level.

DOUBLE DAMN! See if you can scare up (even on line!!) a bottle of Glen Ord Single Malt Whisky. You'lll own his heart and soul.

Trust me on this one.
