I was out a few times during the winter, there are a number of guys Spey casting that I have run into. Not really high numbers but a lot more than there where say 4 years ago when I know of 3 including myself. Some of my pals who swing flies on the Bow don't post here much any more for various reasons which is a shame. And I don't post trips as much as I did but do want to try my Meiser for spring Lake Trout this year. I need to look for a short fast sinking sinking head. And of course there is the pike season. I've been exploring some non typical uses along with Trouting big waters.
Last year I had a blast on the Okanagan Lake flats catching so many large Carp in the 20 to 30 lb range I couldn't lift my arms the next day, really got a kick out of my son that picked up my Spey and promptly hooked onto a wicked Kamloops trout that took him into the backing and taped at 28".
I tend to use my Meiser Spey on the Bow for swinging streamers, and indicator nymphing which I find very much easier on my shoulders and back than double hauling, with a much longer drift than a single handler. Dry fly work of course is a different rod.
