Spey Casting Lessons

and other two-hand rod applications i.e. Switch, Trout Spey

ANGLERS Fly Shop is proud to have Daniel Ritz as our resident referral for sharing the functional art of spey casting and all other two-hand rod applications i.e. Switch and Trout Spey.

Placing a fully laid out cast and engaging a wild fish - be it a summer steelhead on a Columbia River tributary,  winter steelhead in the rainforest or salmon on the coast - through a pulsing two-hand rod is the stuff of dreams and an experience every angler should enjoy at least once. 

Simply put, Daniel has an obsession with steelhead, salmon, the swung fly and the functional art of spey casting. In addition to his personal time on the water and his writing, ( Jack’s Experience Trading ) Daniel is the the Digital and Conservation Editor for Swing the Fly, Communications and Outreach Coordinator for the Idaho Wildlife Federation, and lends a hand curating the spey program at ANGLERS Fly Shop. He firmly believes conservation is not an accessory but an essential part of the experience of the modern spey fisher. Because of that, Daniel donates 10-percent of all casting lesson proceeds to the wild fish advocacy group of the client’s choice. 

Interested in preparing for an upcoming trip requiring new equipment? Looking to add a new tool to your fly fishing repertoire? Not even entirely sure what a two-hand rod and spey casting really is? Let’s visit. 

Cost: $75 for 1-hour , $125 for 2-hour individual lessons. Second anglers can be added for ½ price of the first ($35 and $65, respectively.)
