speyghillie Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Hi Everyone, I will be running a couple of Speycasting clinic's on the Bow river again this year, the dates for this year are. SATURDAY APRIL THE 19TH, this date will be for those just starting to get into Speycasting and will cover all the basic Speycasts, understanding the mechanic's of Speycasting and the different applications including single-handed Speycasting, this day can speed up your learning curve and hopefully cure any faults in your casting. SUNDAY APRIL THE 20TH, This date is for more experienced Speycasters and will cover River Craft while Speycasting, Distance casting made easy, as well as casting, and fishing Sunk lines and sink tips. Both days are limited to 6 students per day, and at the same cost as last year $120.00 per student. I will be in Calgary for a week so if anybody would like a Private Speycasting day please let me know. I will be advertising the Speycasting weekend at the Fly fishing show at the end of the month where i will have a booth, if you are going to the show please drop by and have a chat, i have been lucky enough to full all the Speycasting Schools so please book early. I have always enjoyed running the Speycasting Schools in Calgary and try to make it a fun day of learning, i would like to thank the Admin guys for letting me post this, and my buddy Toolman for all his help during my stay in Calgary. Thanks Gordon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toolman Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Now Gordon, don't book that whole week up in April. We need to go fishin' for a couple of days too. See you at the hangar tommorow afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonefisher Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Welcome back Gordon, looking forward to seeing you at the show. Will any of your rods be available for testing? I still want to try the Norway. I would really like to take your advanced course but as usual I have no idea if I will be around at that time. If any spots open up in the days leading up to the clinic just try to post em on here as if I can I may jump in last minute. To any others interested in doing the clinic I had Gordon take me out for a day solo and its was definately worth it. I usually find I teach myself fairly well but this took a lot of time off the learning curve. Plus he taught me some really cool casts and some stuff I would never have had the forethought to teach myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
