Spey Casting Clinic

Jeff Putnam

Master Spey Caster and Instructor

Jeff Putnam is one of only seven persons in the United States to achieve “master” status by certification, in spey casting. Jeff works at Kiene’s Fly Shop, and runs his own business that includes guiding, casting and fishing instruction, and numerous other classes. He is also a rep for Scott Rod Company.

In response to an inquiry from me, Jeff has offered to put on a spey casting clinic for eight GBF members on Saturday, September 25th. The cost will be $50.00 per participant for a six-hour instruction period (on-stream) with Jeff.

This is an incredible opportunity to learn this form of casting correctly from the start from a top notch instructor. Spey casting enables you to cast farther with much less effort, so you can reach those elusive shad and steelhead that seem always to be just beyond casting range. And, as an added bonus, you may never have to “roll cast” again.  Please call me or send me an email if you are interested—I’m the first one signed up on the list.

There will be several sign up sheets at the Feb. 10 meeting. This will be limited to 5 people per class, we will have three to four classes.
