9-13 SS Charles St. Pierre Spey Casting

 Reds flyfishing shop in Ellensburg, WA recently announced that Charles St. Pierre gave free spey casting lessons and advice.  I asked Red’s shop guy Craig Henniger what made Charles St. Pierre so good. “The only thing that makes a legendary spey caster a legendary spey caster is hours of practice. I was pretty good by the time I got done at the end of last year, but now I’m working all the time and haven’t touched a two-handed rod and 10 months I can tell you that I could barely spey cast when I was on the Klickitat River a week ago. He is well-known along the Columbia River system and on the peninsula rivers. But there are a lot of good spey casters in the Northwest. Ed Ward and Mike Kennedy. Your definition of Spey casting? A spey cast is a cast which instantly changes direction and put your line back into fishing instead of fishing for owls where you see a lot of one handed casters doing false casting, false casting, false casting. OWLS  That means all whole bunch of false casts before your fly gets back in the water. We all know that the more time  your fly spends in the water, the more fish you catch.
