My 2019 dates are set for Argentina. I will be taking a group back to Estancia Las Buitreras from Feb 9th-16th. This is an amazing trip for sea run browns.

And I am taking a smaller group of four back to Los Plateados from April 6-12th for Atlantic steelhead.

I still have a few openings. If you have questions about either trip,  please don't hesitate to get in touch.

April Two handed clinic

 Just wanted to get these up from our April two handed clinic in Rhode Island. Great group of guys and I know we will see some of you back August 25 for our next session.  It was a pleasure to spend the day teaching with Craig Buckbee and Jim Barr.

Capt Jim Barr from the Rhode Island School of Fly Fishing posted this updates on our April 21st two handed clinic.

And what a day we had! On Saturday April 21st we held a day-long two-handed fly casting clinic on the Narrow River, in Narragansett, RI.

We had eleven casters registered for the class, gents from the Boston area, Central Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut and New York. The weather was perfect, and the casters and instructors were excited. Most of the students brought their own Spey and Switch rods, and in addition the instructors brought a wide array of two-handed rods and fly line combinations for everyone to cast and experiment with.

The day started in the parking lot at the Narrow River with everyone practicing their two-handed stroke using 1/2" diameter- 5 foot long pvc pipe dummy rods. We then packed our rods, reels, lunches and folding chairs and waded out to the river flats. The instruction team was headed up by John Bilotta and Craig Buckbee, both highly qualified two-handed casting instructors who have a ton of experience teaching and fishing with these beautiful casting rods. The emphasis was on learning (and improving) the students techniques for the Double Spey and Snake Roll casts as well as entertaining lots of questions from everyone on gear and casting techniques.

I was primarily the logistics guy for the event as I have limited Spey casting experience, most of my two-handed casting has been with a Switch rod, a great rod for reaching long distances, but nothing that compares with these 13 -14 foot spey rods. However, despite the phrase to the contrary, you CAN teach an old dog new tricks, I learned a lot that day.

Many of our students asked when we were going to hold our next two-handed casting clinic. Our thinking currently is we will be holding another day-long event in early September.

At that clinic we will be teaching a variety of new casts beyond the basic ones we featured on April 21st.

If you are interested in learning more about our Spey clinics, fire-off an email to me and I'll be happy to bring you up to speed and keep you in the loop.
