This Fall I will be teaming up with friend and steelhead guide Brian Slavinski. The class will take place on Brian's home waters of Cattaraugus Creek. The "Catt" is a premier spey river that offers great water for swinging flies to aggressive steelhead. Join us for this opportunity to catch steelhead on private water in the beautiful Zoar Valley.

Two-handed saltwater
Now is the time for striper fishing, and there's no better way to chase them then with a two-handed rod. For saltwater fishing, two-handed rods can be used for both overhead and spey casting techniques. Overhead casting is ideal for surf conditions and areas where there is plenty of back casting room. Spey techniques are ideal for areas of moving water and places where there is minimal room for a back-cast. Both techniques give the angler advantages in distance, ease of execution and changing direction, doing so with much less effort and fatigue.
Free two-hand saltwater demonstration Saturday August 30th at 2:00 PM here at the store.  Call for more info 973 244 5990.
