RossP 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2006 Hi everyone. My name is Ross and I am from the Fraser Valley in British Columbia. Started Fly Fishing two years ago and started tying this year. Love tying Spey flies, even though I do not spey fish, but some of the patterns are great for Steelhead. Looking forward to joining in some of the swaps in the near future. I am semi retired, my wife and myself have a small buisness that takes about 4-5 hours a day of our time so I have lots of time to go fishing and geocaching. Lots of great fishing places within a 30 minute drive of home. Great trout, salmon, sturgeon and steelhead fishing all within 30 minutes drive. Looking forward to being a part of this forum. Have not sen anouther forum with so much information before. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted January 19, 2006 Welcome aboard. I'm to the south of you. Don't worry about the spey thing. I think alot of guys started tying them before they ever saw a spey rod (I know I used a double hander when I was over in Scotland, but that was only for a short time, so doesn't count). I pretty much tied my first speys for use on my single handers. So no worries. They're named for a river, not a rod. So feel free to use them for whatever rod you want.
