Our annual Spey Day on the Skagit at Howard Miller Steelhead Park. We give up a day to help those wanting to learn as much as they can about steelheading; casting, presentation, water temps, flies, equipment and all things steelheading with a fly entails.


Huber Cooney, yep that's his real name, working a favorite run on the upper Skagit in what is actually March, though is doesn't look it.

Sauk River


Dylan and Kathryn with a very nice Dolly Varden on her first day with a spey rod.


Tex Camden with a fish on his first day spey casting.


Todd Somsel enduring what is a typical day in March on the Sauk.


Dylan Rose checking out the aluminum left from his boat on the lauch at Government Bridge.


John Gierach stepping down into his next cast.


Dylan showing Fischer the difference between him and a real fish. Earlier in the day, Fischer took a fly in the mouth and made a pretty impressive run before he snapped off the fly. Another reason to go barbless!


Todd Somsel hunting.
