bhurt Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 I took the Loop School from Brain last year and had a blast and I highly suggest that anyone wanting to learn more about single and double hand casting then this clinic is for you..... Brain has a way of simplifing the termonology and technique to make it very easy to do and understand, plus is a great guy for beeing paitent and answering people questions. Trust me you will not be disappont with this clinic. Quote

Whistler Posted April 30, 2009 Author Posted April 30, 2009 There is a chance of another beginner spey class available on Sunday May 10th. Please call 1-888-822-3474 for more info. Brian Quote
bulltrout Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 i would highly recommend brian's lessons...he's just that damn good...had the privilege of casting with him at the CWFFC conlave this weekend and if he can convince me (a stubborn ass single hander) to get set up with a switch rod and join the dark side, he must be doing something right...

Headhunter Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 Agree with ya Dr.BT. He knows his stuff and has an incredible ability to TEACH it. He had a full day of private lessons with both single and double handers and everyone that took them walked away happy. The best 60.00 you can spend on fishing may be a 1 hour private casting lesson with Brian. i would highly recommend brian's lessons...he's just that damn good...had the privilege of casting with him at the CWFFC conlave this weekend and if he can convince me (a stubborn ass single hander) to get set up with a switch rod and join the dark side, he must be doing something right...

Guest guito Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 I totally agree with both DBT and Headhunter Brian was awesome. If you are thinking about taking a lesson give Brian a call it will be well worth the money. Brian went above and beyond our expectations, we could barely get him to stop teaching and attend the banquet. Guito Quote

bulltrout Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 what can i say...he has succeeded where others have failed or given up on me due to my stubbornness...he's just that good i guess (he even said i was slinging pretty good after a couple of casts so maybe it's meant to be)...guess you got a new southern member of your posse max...

Agreed,Agreed ,Agreed Brian can sure chuck a line, art in motion. First time with a spey and 5 minutes later i was bombing line. Sure he knows im going to the dark side too. Bombing a full line with a single hander with one false cast. The man is a legend. A couple more hours with him and i might learn to cast. Quote
pokerfish Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 Thank you Brian. I had a great day at the clinic, and learned far more than I expected. Great group, and wow, some awesome casters. I think I fufilled my role as the water anchor for the group, but you know, even the anchor got picked up. Great teacher. Thanks to all the group I will be there next time as well. Quote
headscan Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 Yeah, it was a great day and a good group of people. One of the best things in my mind wasn't even just the casting instruction (though that was really good), but that Brian makes you watch the other people in the clinic cast and diagnose their faults and help fix them. It was great to watch people who had a few problems in the morning throw some incredibly tight loops by the afternoon. The only unfortunate part for me was that Brian brought one of the Opti Switch prototypes and I tried it out. I really don't need another stick but that thing will make such a perfect all around Bow river rod. Quote
Brookie2 Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Outstanding clinic and a great group of guys. A big thank you to Brian and Maxwell for their all their help. These guys are the best! Quote
Whistler Posted May 12, 2009 Author Posted May 12, 2009 thanks for the kind words-it was awesome to spend a week casting with all of you. Brian 1-888-822-3474 Quote
