[speyghillie]

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to give some detail on the Speycasting clinic's i will be hosting on Saturday April the 19th and Sunday the 20th.

 

Saturday the 19th is for guys just getting into Speycasting, i will cover the basic's of Speycasting, which is the building block for all styles of Speycasting.

I have , Marc, Dean ,Bhurt , 3wt , Red and a buddies of Alhugers down for the day.

 

Sunday the 20th.

Is a More advanced casting clinic, for those who have spent some time Speycasting.

So far i have, Alhuger, cheerler, Wet Duck and Maxwell down for the day.

 

If i have missed anyone out please let me know, i will PM everybody this week.

As things stand i have two places left for the Sunday, so if you are just getting into Speycasting and can't make the Saturday of have done some Speycasting ,then there is still a couple of places left .

I will try to tailor the casting to everyones own pace, that way everyone gets the most out of each day.

 

I would like also to thank, Alhuger for booking a Private one to one lesson on the 18th April, Wtforward for booking the 23rd April, and Knotlikely for booking the 25th of April.

Hi Headscan,

Minus 6 , thats lovely, when i left in January it was minus 30, that was just to much for me, i will keep everybody busy so they don't get cold.

Hey Mr Island Guy,

Funny weather everywhere, though i am just leaving for Glasgow airport and it's beautiful.

Spoke with Harry at Clan, will give you a call when i get over the pond.

Was fishing with Scott a couple of days ago, so got some good news, DVD wise too.

Speak to you soon.

Just wanted to add, one of the guys has changed his date from the Saturday to the Sunday, so i have one place left for anybody wanting to get into Speycasting available on the Saturday.

Minus 7, High winds, 80% chance of snow.

 

Good luck with that boys!

[CrisD]

Any chance of moving the class back a week, at -7 the learning curve would be a flat line, and all you will catch is a cold.

[headscan]

That's what the scotch is for...

[speyghillie]

Thats almost Tropical weather, can't do anything about the date i'm here now, i might need another t shirt with that weather, just looked at the forcast and its going to be cold, but no high winds.

Hi Guys,

I can't change the dates, but i figure you guys will manage a bit of cold weather.

Guys,

 

I just finished out a day of instruction w/ Gordon (it was short because I have to work today). Do not let the snowfall fool you, the river was fantastic with little to no wind in the area we were and the snow was no problem. Plenty warm. In fact, fish were rising all of the place! So don't sweat tomorrow. I wish I could go actually.

see you sunday gordy.. looking forward too it..... rain or snow....... welcome too canada eh!

[Brownstone]

sounds like spey weather to me ..

[maxwell]

well if u are a winter steelheader...... it is a beautiful day

[Brownstone]

I wish I was steelin' .. I'll get my fix o bad weather when i go chasing bullets on da rock

[headscan]

Looking forward to tomorrow. Just gonna layer up the same as I do when I fish in January and February. It'll be perfect practice for winter run steelheading - the kind of day that separates the hardcore from the pantywaists.

[cheeler]

I hope I found all the leaks in my waders.....

[ogilvie]

Have fun tomorrow you guys...the weather here on the Island isn't much better...our rivers are very low again and that holds the Steelhead in the deep water pools and they are not going to budge until the melt begins...perhaps next week.

If you can find time Gord email me

FIngerless gloves..ouch

How did the day go..Had to work at the shop today so didn't have a chance to fish until after 4 pm...the sky was blue,no winds and the Coast Mountains were very visable across the Straight. Hooked into a major Cutthroat Trout near the mouth of the Big Qualicum River,snapped my leader like it was string. However, Nanaimo,30 miles to the south,had more than a foot of Snow today and had to close several of the main roads in order to clean them...Reminds me of Calgary somewhat...Hope you all had a great time

Hi Guys,

Due to the weather i will have to cancel today, i was really hoping to do something today but the weather is just wild with that wind.

I will try and pick another date, but its just hopeless in this weather.
