Folsom Lake Activity Center

The July 12th program was on distance casting with spey rods for fishing and competition.  GBF has invited Larry Takeuchi, Doug Duncan and Simon Hsieh to demonstrate their techniques on Folsom Lake and give a talk explaining how and why it all works.  These are three of the best spey-casters in North America and they live right here in Sacramento!

Doug and Simon are championship casters who consistently place highly in competition events.  Doug developed specific techniques to fully load and launch huge casts regardless of one's physical strength or stature.  Simon developed his own particular equipment and casting style to achieve incredible distances.  Simon is also the owner and creator of "Nextcast Flyfishing", a maker of high performance spey lines and rods.  Together, these men are at the cutting edge of classic spey casting.

These three gentlemen have been extremely generous with their hard earned knowledge and have been kind enough to share it with all of you.  The casting demonstration took place at 6:00pm on the lake and the presentation/talk was given in the club house during our normal meeting. 

Larry and Doug put on an outstanding spey casting demonstration and presentation at GBF's July monthly meeting.  Below are a few photos of their demonstration and spey rods.
