  Three Day Spey Casting Course 

River Annan - Scotland 

April | May 2010

If you have never fished for Salmon before or have had a go and found your casting needed improving this is the course for you.

During the 3 days you will learn all you need to know to start salmon fishing; here are just some of the areas we cover:

• Safety – both wading the river and on the bank 
• The Equipment - different types of rods, reels, lines, and other helpful items like nets, wading staff and safety vests 
• The Casts You Need To Catch Fish In All Conditions -the casts we teach will mean you can cover most salmon rivers with ease. These include: the roll casts, single and double spey casts and the overhead cast plus some of the more advanced casts. 
• The Flies For All Seasons - the main patterns to look for and how to tie them (an evening session). 
• Knots - the main type used in salmon fishing; how to tie them and when to use them. 
• Reading The Water - a study of where the fish can be found in the river. 
• How to use the casts you have learnt to present the fly to them. 
• Catching and landing a fish with or without a net. 
• How to return the fish to the water properly. 

What fishing gear to bring: Hardy Grays provide the outfits for the course (rod, reels & lines). We recommend that you use chest waders if you have them; if not we can provide those as well (please indicate chest & shoe size at the time of booking). If you have your own salmon tackle please feel free to bring it with you.

You will be staying in a hotel near the river and there will be a room booked for you the night before the start of the course. This will be on a dinner bed & breakfast basis for 3 nights and included in the price is a packed lunch on the river bank each day. If you wish to bring a non fishing partner you are most welcome and their accommodation will be at cost. A full itinery and joining instructions for the course will be sent to you.
