Trout Spey by Steve Turris
Trout Spey is a specialized form of two-handed fly fishing that emphasizes efficiency and control. It is more than Spey casting for Steelhead’s little brother. Using a short two-handed rod—typically between 10½ and 11½ feet—anglers can cast light lines and flies with minimal backcast room. This makes Trout Spey especially effective on smaller rivers and streams where trees, steep banks, or tight quarters make traditional overhead casting difficult. Importantly, it excels at presenting flies across the current in a controlled swing that can be extremely effective for trout. It can also effectively present dry flies, dry/dropper, indicators both up and downstream.
Speaker’s Biography: Steve Turrisi
Started fly fishing and tying in grade school, I went to college in central Pa and fished the historic Cumberland valley hard. I have worked in a fly shop for over 15 years and have spent my time wisely. Most of my Flyfishing is in PA, but I have had my fair share of destination fishing including Alaska, Montana, and my favorite the White River in Arkansas.
