Fly Fishing British Columbia, Canada - Spey Fishing
We offer an exceptional array of spey casting rivers and streams year round. From the mighty Fraser River where even your farthest cast may look insignificant in comparison to the sheer width of the river over medium sized rivers like the Harrison River to some untouched wilderness rivers where any double handed fly caster feels he has arrived - in fishing paradise. Those rivers are not only perfect for spey casters, but also for switch rods users.
"Happy guide with a satisfied guest from Scotland".
Spey rods are often rods of choice for fly angler who fish big rivers, where there is a need to cast far out to spots you can not reach as easy with a single handed rod. Also for waters where you have “stuff” in the way behind you such as trees or mountains. You can use a variety of casts such as a roll cast, spey cast, double spey cast, snap C or snap T cast, just to name a few . Join us on a spey casting adventure or lesson with a certified spey casting instructor for proven results and you may be surprised how "simple" and less exhausting spey casting is compared to single handed casting. You get more fishing time with less effort. Give it a try ... "Spey casting lessons at the Fraser River Lodge".
In this photo you can see one of my all time favorite spey fishing shots. Our guest Ian Monroe from England hooked a 45 lbs. Chinook salmon (king or tyee) on the fly far out in the seam where the slow current meets the main current of the mighty Fraser River. The jumping fish has taken the fly and is hooked, although the rod is pointing upstream. The running line and shooting head is still in the water and the water pressure combined with the rod keeps the tension on the fish. This is one of those magic shots that usually does not get caught on camera. The fish was carefully released.
