PNW Gal On The Fly, Spey casting

Cast, cast, cast

Cast, cast, cast

One of the best ways to learn and improve on your spey casting, is by watching yourself cast. Note what you’re doing wrong, and try and fix it. Note the good things, and try and repeat them.

Get out on the water and practice as much as possible. Watch others cast who are more seasoned than you.

Be humble. I know I still have so much to learn.

Try and fix your mistakes. Nothing will be perfect, and that’s okay. But, you can never get better if you don’t constantly observe, listen, and put your time in on the water.

Happy holidays everyone!

Cheers,

TAKE ACTION: Please Complete the Lower Snake River Dam Survey

As a part of Washington’s Lower Snake River Dams (LSRD) Stakeholder Process, an extensive survey on the public’s perception of retaining or breaching/removing the four dams has been posted.

Every wild steelhead and salmon advocate should take this important opportunity to have their voice heard. Again and again we have seen documentation of the terrible effects these dams have on the salmon and steelhead of the Snake River basin. We are especially aware of these long-term declines this year because the Clearwater River, and portions of the Snake River, were closed to steelhead fishing due to dismal fish returns.

(See Steve Pettit’s grim chart of 2019 steelhead returns at Lower Granite Dam.)
