Spey casting Courses

Fishing and Casting Courses

 

​

Our courses have evolved and having done this for over 20 years, are very much focused on the individual and their own particular requirements rather than a specific beginners or intermediate course. I find this works very well having   anglers of all abilities as part of the same group.   

 

Disciplines covered in each course, depending on abilities are - 

 

• Single Spey Cast with Sink Tip.

• Roll Cast

• Double Spey Cast.

• Circle C

• Snake Roll
• Casting off the opposite shoulder - Why?
• The principles of casting with sunk lines and sink tips. Tactics - Why?
• Teaching you to Fault Find.
• How to fish a typical pool with a floating line.
• Lunch at the hut.
• Hooking, Playing and Landing fish – The theory!
• Instruction and practice followed by a couple of hours of actual fishing in order to be able to relax and practice the techniques learned during the day.
• Knots, How to tie flies and leaders
 

Learning to fish and cast can be great fun and catching a fish the icing on the cake.

Hosted Course River Deveron

​

​

• Microspey Fishing

• Speycasting for trout

• Speycasting for Saltwater fishing 

 

Casting and Fishing courses can be combined. I tend to arrange those for later in the season when there are more fish in the river. 
No matter how experienced, this course is designed to focus on casting and fishing, utilising Ian’s wide knowledge of both and covering tactics which will make you a better Salmon and Sea Trout Angler as well as a proficient caster. 

• Casting off the opposite shoulder - Why?
• The principles of casting with sunk lines and sink tips. Tactics - Why?
• Teaching you to Fault Find.
• How to fish a typical pool with a floating line.
• Lunch at the hut (generally provided by the hotel).
• Hooking, Playing and Landing fish – The theory!
• Instruction and practice followed by a couple of hours of actual fishing in order to be able to relax and practice the techniques learned during the day.
• Knots, How to tie flies and leaders

• For Casting and Fishing courses include an evening of casting/fishing/tackle theory with questions and answers. Although light-hearted, those sessions I find invaluable in the overall development of individual understanding.

The 3-day Fishing/Casting course will be on a nice private beat of the River Deveron for up to five people and booked on a first-come-first-served basis. Learn more about Deveron Courses - Click Here
