RI Spey will be holding a Spey 2.0 casting class on September 7, in Narragansett, RI on the Narrow River beginning at 8:30am and ending about 3pm. This class is for intermediate spey casters and will feature advanced spey casting techniques.
Spey 2.0 will focus on three casts: Switch, Single Spey, and Snake-roll casts that include air-born (touch-n-go) anchors, and are ideal for Scandinavian style shooting heads, long leaders and small ('ish) flies. Throughout the day we will expand on these lively (and lovely) casts using dominant and non-dominant top hands, allowing us to deal with wind and sides of river (current).
Currently the Spey 2.0 class has seven registered students and will be limited to ten, our maximum. The fee for these classes is $200 for seven hours of instruction, and includes lunch. Equipment will be provided.
