That is a big gun.Tyler, a switch rod is one that can be adapted for 2 hand or single-hand casting. They tend to be a bit shorter than the 2-handers and some of the techniques slightly different.

schnipster Posted October 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Hey boys. Quick question. Is there fishing at this event or no? Like can i fish...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveC Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Hey boys. Quick question. Is there fishing at this event or no? Like can i fish...lol Bring your gear....no fishing in that area. But you can get it the water and work on casting. No hooks just tie on a piece of yarn. Lots of in water demos by reputable pro certified casters. Very good event. Some fly tying demos all day in water clinics and demonstrations Free lunch, and a very nice raffle table you can buy tickets for draws. Its 2 day event...both days much the same. If your into fly fishing or like to get into it...then this is the place. Have questions....these guys will answer them for you. But yes, bring waders if you have them and try out new equipment in the water. All the demos take place in the water. Check the Grand river spey clave website for directions. Will be at the outfitters launch inside Brant park on the banks of the grand...guaranteed good time. Txt me when you get there...if anyone wants to meet up pm me for my cell number.Ruben....your a gear junkie, trust me its for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler0420 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 I've really only fished the dam. I've hiked down a couple time though. I'm guessing you guys need room to cast, so standing in the river is necessary. The section jus a lil ways down from the dam is deep n strong current. So I don't think that part is fishable for you. But if you have your hiking boots on Theres always a place to fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveC Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 will there be gear for sale there or demo only? if for sale i will file chapter 11 now....lol and we are gonna fish some water sat afternoon hope you can join us. There is no gear there for sale on the spot....its all there for you to see and try out. Im sure they reccomend you where to purchase...i could be wrong but ive never seen anything being sold at the clave other than raffle tickets. Check the website some nice prizes to be had if your name gets pulled. if you want to fish in the sfternoon...im ok with that. My lesson is 10:00 - 12:00.

You must have a 425g skagit and 325 skandi i would think. 13 Ft spey is perfect and if in tighter areas i can drop down to my switch rod. I have a 14ft gl3 loomis spey but its a 9/10 wt. Like something with a little less beef...i think you could tarpon fish with it. I will bring it and you can test it out...lol. what make model switch did you buy??
