New Spey Casting Class Starting this Fall! Register Now! We are preparing to have a new introduction to Spey (aka two-handed) fly casting class starting November 9th. Spey casting is a great method to swing flies for steelhead, salmon, shad and even trout. There are two groups of folks that have expressed interest in a class; total beginners with no experience and some of you that have started to do Spey and want additional training. No equipment needed as the club has loaner rods for use! See sign-up instructions below. The practical casting lessons will take place at the Golden Gate casting ponds on Sundays from noon to 2pm with a start date of November 9th. There will be four sessions of a couple hours each to teach the basic casts at the ponds. The first beginning lessons will cover the following skills: * Understanding difference between Skagit and Scandi lines * Proper rigging of Skagits and Scandis * Basic casting stroke which is a two handed roll cast * The Switch cast The remaining lessons will cover actual Spey casts (change of direction) Skill set 2—water loaded casts * Double Spey cast * Snap-T cast The advanced beginner/intermediate class will review the above and then learn the following casts: —Splash and Go casts • Snake Roll • Single Spey We will also discuss when and why to use each of the different types of Spey casts, depending on river side, wind conditions and other considerations. If you are interested in taking either of these classes please contact me—Allen Cary (allencary@icloud.com) by Friday, November 7th. 11/9 Beginner Workshop & Casting 11/16 Beginner/Intermediate Casting 12/7 Beginner/Intermediate Casting 12/14 Beginner/Intermediate Casting Weather can influence these workshops - if it is beyond a light drizzle we will reschedule.

Allen Cary will be facilitating monthly fly casting instruction for all levels and skills development program casting course set-up for assessments. Come to simply practice your stroke or to attempt to earn your bronze, silver, and gold casting levels. Get out to practice your one-handed casting stroke or test your casting in the skills course and work to improve your distance and accuracy. In order to graduate through the program casters need to complete a series of specific casts and casting requirements at different distances within certain target ranges. Members of the Skills Development Committee will be on hand to observe and assist casters. PFF is committed to instructing and graduating as many club members as possible. Come out and test your casting stroke and see where you can take your skills. All members welcome!
