Spey Nation started in 2008 as a spey casting clave (gathering) at the Pineville Boat Launch near Pulaski, NY and celebrated the emerging 2-handed rod culture in the Great Lakes Fishery. It continues today as a celebration of all things spey both online and through events.
Spey Nation is everywhere. It can be found in the tail outs of the Pacific Northwest, the salt water rivers of New England, the Great Atlantic Salmon rivers of the world and the tributaries of the Great Lakes. It's everywhere 2 handed fly rods are cast, flies are swung and is expanding with every cast and step. It lives, breathes and grows with every angler who grabs the 2 hander or feels the tight line grab for the very first time. It grows through any company promoting the sport and gospel of spey casting and spey fishing. Our mission is to support that culture because it's a good culture full of caring individuals and organizations that share values about rivers.
Demonstrations, and instruction by some of the biggest names in 2 handed casting from the East and West Coasts today. Great Lakes anglers finally have the opportunity to learn Traditional Spey, Scandinavian, and Skagit techniques from the experts
