Say what? Spey fishing in Colorado? Absolutely! You're missing the boat if you've yet to try spey fishing and casting. It'll open up all kinds of new trick casts, many of which can translate into single hand rods and casting. Trout sized spey rods or switch rods are ideal to fish with along the Lower Colorado as well as the Lower Roaring Fork River. Taylor Creek sells many of these short two handed rods and even the versatile switch rods, which are shorter yet (under 12 feet) and suitable for either single hand or two hand applications. Come in the shop and let us show you first hand what you're missing out on.
I borrowed a 12' 5wt from Will Sands the other day to go fart around on the Colorado River. I'm definately a novice when it comes to Spey fishing, but what I do know is that they are a ton of fun to cast and punch as much line out as you want. When it comes down to fighting fish on these long rods, my enjoyment skyrocketed through the roof. Every move the fish makes transcends into the rod and your hand. It's almost like fishing a 2wt for 12" inch fish. What a riot. Perhaps what I like most about Spey fishing is that I get to learn how to fish all over again... -Out- Kirk Webb
