Spent a few hours practicing with the double hander this morn. Things are beginning to make sense and I've almost got a couple casts figured out. I actually even fished a fly through some holding water. Didn't catch anything but that's only 'cause there weren't any fish around. If I had caught a steelhead you can be sure that this post would be about something far more interesting than learning to cast the long rod.
Anyhoo, since I'm slowly turning into a spey nerd I've added a link to Spey Pages to the link column on the right. It's under "Forums, Bulletin Boards and News"
So there ya have it, now I'm off to the tool shed to color code my Delta Spey [line] with a sharpie.
Have good fishing,
Wally
Edit: I went out again Sunday (1/20) morning. The river was running low and clear at ~ 600 CFS, just low enough for me to cross. Lots of casting, no fish, added a third cast to my repertoire. At the end of the day, and back on the river left side I was shooting lots of line with a single spey. Good times, good times.

HA! Spey Nerd.
I've got the bug to get out there too. As challenging as casting is, I need to learn an easier way to catch and release!
Rex, just use barbless hooks! - doesn't get much easier than that!
Hi guys, I remember back then in the past when we were kids, We don’t have money to purchase fishing gears, so we make twigs or bamboo sticks for the pole and fish hook cactus thorns for the hook, We don’t used artificial baits also, We dig the earth to hunt for worms, earth worms in freshwater and also worms in saltwater, but now because of technology, It’s just a mouse click away to purchase all the fishing gears that you need and one of my favorite sites to shop are the links below
