This Saturday's Day on the River included familar and new faces. Good weather, new rods, and a run away boat added to the excitement. The new Zpey Switch rod was evaluated and received positive responses.

Day on the River: Jan 31

A sunny day with temperature in the high 40's brought out a large gathering for this week's Day on the River at the bridge in Fall City. Today we tested a variety of rod and line combos. One of the tested combos included: Guideline's new switch rods with the new compact scandi lines. Very nice balance for both single and double hand casting.

In addition we have a short "virtual" lesson on the fundamentals of the line "lift" in speycasting.

Virtual Day on the River

I have decided to provide a virtual "Day on the River" experience for those who are not able to attend the weekly events held on the river every Saturday morning at 9:00 am. Each week we will provide insightful video clips from the previous week's actual "Day on the Water" event. In the videos we will demonstrate useful information on spey casting, rods, lines, and a virtual lesson for those who are interested in learning more about the art and science of spey. I look forward to your comments and new topics for discussion at our Virtual Day on the Water.
