Intro Clinic:
This clinic will focus on the fundamentals of spey casting for folks that have little to no experience with a two hander. Students will learn how to execute a spey cast from start to finish and will receive hands instruction. Skills learned from the beginner class will be transferable to other types of spey cast.
Advanced Clinic:
Our advanced clinic will focus on dialing in your spey cast as well as fishing with a two hander. Students can expect to learn more detail on various types of spey cast and how to incorporate different techniques into each one for changing situations. This class is targeted for anglers with experience, and should be proficient in the basic spey cast. The advanced clinic will make you a better angler with a two hander.
Clinics with Tom Larimer will be held on the Spokane River. Call shop for more details or to register 509 924-9998. Space is limited to 8 students each clinic, deposit is required before enrollment and is non-refundable.
No gear is required other than wading boots, preferably with studs, because of slick Spokane River rocks. Students may bring their own gear to the clinic, but it is recommended to have Silver Bow Fly Shop examine it to make sure it is properly set up before the clinic date.
