Was able to get out this morning and rip the spey casts a bit, as well as shoot some pictures. Every once in a while I was able to shoot a good cast out, but still learning.

It was cold

Overall, a good day of casting practice, even with no fish to hand.

Mark,

Awesome pics. I myself just love to go out and cast the two-hander for a while knowing I probably will not get a tug, but its so much fun going through all the different casts. What line and rod setups were you using?

Will,

I did pick up a couple flatheads about 20lbers. on my switch rod. Real awesome experience. I still need to fish some larger water though for them.

I was using the SA Spey Skagit Deluxe with Sharkskin running line, with some 200 grain sink tip.

must be nice to fish there during the off season – no crowds, no litter, no bm on the rocks and trails

i’m not that great on swinging flies on my 2 hander but that water is super fast and might be a bid hard to get the technique down

I have never seen it done in real life,
but it sure looks like a lot of commitment.
Check out this video that a friend put me
on to. This Korean lady sure can cast.

I think I’d like to give this a try.

Anybody using the light weight speys to go after trout (other than Zach)?

Actually Regan, Sean was using a 5 weight that day. I’ll have to find out what type of line and rod, but I know it’s a lighter setup for trout.
