Brand new to Spey and swinging for steelhead and this was a great place to start. Looking forward to devouring more content and applying on the water. April has a very soothing cadence to her teaching and conveys a sincere interest in her students success even though you’re only viewing a video. Best investment I have made since starting this journey.

It looks hard from every angle, and until I found this course by April I found getting consistently smooth and easy casts difficult. April's breakdown of each element of the double spey and its most common errors was so simple to understand and replicate. The very next time on the water I was bombing 80ft double speys without a problem. I couldn't recommend this course enough!

Excellent

Probably the next best thing to being on the water with your instructor. I am casting so much better now. Thank you.

April's videos provide an exceptional resource for us fly fishers venturing into the world of Spey casting. The casts are explained clearly and expertly demonstrated. When things go awry on the stream, I can reflect on the techniques and lessons-learned provided in this excellent series and then focus on casting correctly.

Outstanding job by April on the Breakdown of the Spey Cast. As always, April does a great job of explaining the techniques in a way that is easy to understand. The only issue I had is that I'm left handed and struggled a little bit with applying this to me. I do highly recommend this class and need to get out to the river and work on these techniques. Thank you, April for a job well done!!!
