SPEY CASTING
You may have heard about Spey Casting and imagined that it was a very difficult, or even mysterious, form of casting for experts only. Nothing could be further from the truth. The fact is that Spey Casting is relatively easy once you have been shown how. There are no end of instructions and internet videos on the subject which, in most cases serve only to confuse or blind you with science. I will show you how to Spey Cast in a friendly and informative way starting with the tackle set-up. I will then take you through all the stages of Spey Casting starting with the ROLL CAST, the SINGLE SPEY and the DOUBLE SPEY cast. And I will make it easy for you. If you would like me to show you how you can choose either a 4 hour lesson or spend the day with me.
I mostly teach on the river Dee, a noted game fishing river, 110km long. from its source in the mountains of Snowdonia to the historic city of Chester where it enters tidal water. A fly fisherman's dream.

GRAYLING FISHING
The river Dee offers some of the best grayling fishing to be found anywhere in the UK. I can give you guidance or coaching, or both on some of the most productive beats that I know extremely well and have fished for many years.

SPEY CASTING RIVER DEE
LEARNING TO SPEY CAST ON THE RIVER DEE

HERE'S WHAT SOME OF OUR CLIENTS HAD TO SAY

speech VERY SUCCESSFUL

While I have been an avid trout and grayling fisherman for many years, this season  was my first  for salmon fishing. I recieved a most rewarding lesson from James who is a spey casting expert. I was shown all the basic methods like the single and double spey cast for example  after which James took me down tbe river to put it all into pracrise.  James was first class in his tuition and made the process of learning fun and easy. He explained  everything  in a very relaxed manner and put me at ease right from the start. He must have done something right  as subsequent trips to the Towy and Tyne, fishing a double hander, were very successful.  I  would recommend James  to anyone who is looking to develop their flyfishing skills.

speech THOROUGHLY ENJOYABLE.....EXCELLENT INSTRUCTOR

Although I have been a keen trout fisherman for over forty years,  I had always wanted to learn how to Spey Cast for salmon.  I met James  in August  2016 and received top notch spey casting instructions along a beautiful stretch of the River Dee. Once I seemed to get the hang of it , James  said it was time to put things into prsctise as this was the best way to learn. We then ventured into the river and waded down a fair length with James polnting out all the best sopts and how to cover them. It was all thoroughly  enjoyable. James  was  and is, an excellent instructor.
I cannot praise James  enough. He has helped me to fulfil my dream of Spey Casting and I eagerly await next years season.
