Spey Nation: Spey School 2025
Dates: August 8th, 2025
We are condensing the school to one day - Friday August 8th. There are a handful of factors involved with this decision, but we are committed to providing a similar level of information in a one-day format with a low student to instructor ratio.
With the new format there will be a dynamic casting session in the morning beginning at 8:00am. The objective of the morning session is to focus on the fundamentals of casting and tailor the instruction to your individual needs. We’ll break for lunch with an afternoon session beginning at 1:00pm. In the afternoon, the focus will be on practical application including rigging, presentation strategies and tips, and making the proper cast for a given fishing situation.
The evening will include an informal gathering for pizza, fly tying, and the opportunity for Q & A with the instructors.
The cost for the one-day school is $550 and includes instruction, lunch, informal dinner and soft drinks. The cost no longer includes lodging, however, we will be happy to arrange your stay at one of the Douglas Salmon Run lodges for $80 per night. There is lodging available for any night from Wednesday the 7th through Sunday the 10th.
I can get your lodging set up with DSR as soon as you know your plans. We apologize if this causes any inconvenience, we feel this is the best way to provide the same high-quality experience, but in less time and save everyone money.
