speyghillie Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Hi Guys, I will be in Calgary running a morning Speycasting Class on Saturday the 19th September, the morning class will be limited to 6 students and will cover a number of different Speycasts for Single and Double handed rods. I will have the Award winning Trout rods from Sharpe's of Aberdeen and Double handed rods from the Mackenzie range, designed by three times world champion Scott Mackenzie, for the guys to try, as well as a number of products from Scierra. The cost for the morning Spey class is $100.00 per person. My class will be sponsored by a new company in Canada, www.canadianflyfisher.net Please send me a PM if you would like to join the class for the Saturday morning. Thanks Gordon.

And remeber Speyghillie know crap about spey fishing, still have the photo and still waiting for the right momment to use it. But on a side note, this is well worth it for anyone that is intrested in learning some spey stuff single or double and gordy and scott are excellent teachers.

bhurt Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I had a blast there trying out all of the Scott Mckenzine DTX rods, I loved the 12 foot 8weight rod it was a blast, wish gordie had some of the 13 foot 8 weights as they were diffently my fav (Cast them when Scott was in town) The 15 foot 12 weight was also a blast to cast, like gord said sometimes you just want to open up and bomb casts to the other side of the river, how true. I was also good to put a face to Daneil (Wolfie) and to meet Deb (Flyfisherwomen) Hopefully there will be more of these rods avabile soon, that way I can cover up everything with loop stickers (lol, j/k gordie knows what I am talking about) The best part of the day was when Gord was giving max a hard time and kept on telling him to give more power to the cast, then when gordie picked up the rod it was now his turn to give it to gordie, had me in stiches the whole time.

speyghillie Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 Hey Mr Bhurt, Good to meet up with you and all the guys, Max knows i was just having fun, like its meant to be. Hope to have some 13ft DTX rods in the next few weeks, but at the rate there selling in the UK, i cant even get one myself.......so you'll have to wait, gives you time to sell some of those other rods. and buy a real Spey rod desgined by a real Speycaster. Got to fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
