Modern Spey Fishing is a complete guide to contemporary Spey casting and
fishing techniques made possible through current advancements in equipment and line designs. The book looks at much more than the traditional approaches for salmon and steelhead, exploring a wider scope of species including inland trout, smallmouth bass, and even saltwater. It thoroughly covers in understandable terms today’s Spey lines and heads while diving in deep to discuss various presentation techniques for both two-hand and single-hand approaches. Modern Spey Fishing provides the basis for enjoying all that Spey has to offer while addressing the current developments in the sport.
