Spey casting Courses
Courses and what they will cover
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.

Residential Course Castle Grant March 11th - 13th March 24
Residential courses are where the full group along with myself stay in the same accommodation. I rent some beautiful lodges and host the group not only on the river but in the evening too.
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.
• 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.
• Brush up on both your fishing and casting
• Sinking Line and Tips made easy
• Roll Cast.
• Mending the Line, when and why
