Spey Fishing School
Dates: October 5-6, 2013
Spey Instruction by local Spey casting experts Nick Pionessa & Bill Ingersol. Guided fishing by Vince Tobia & CCO staff
Location: School will be based at Zoar Valley Escape, our cabins located on a private section of Cattaraugus Creek in New York. The cabins are located within 10 minutes of Springville, NY.
Costs & Services
Cost of the school is $550 US dollars/person
Cost of the school includes the following services: 2 nights lodging, 2 mornings of spey casting instruction and 2 afternoons of guided fishing, 2 lunches, use of equipment.
The following costs and services are not included: transportation to lodging, fishing license, terminal tackle, gratuities for guides, breakfasts & dinners, wine, alcohol or tobacco.
6 Anglers Maximum, with 2 spey instructors and 2 guides
Final Payment and Cancellation Policy
50% deposit is required ASAP to hold your place for trip:
Balance is due upon arrival at the school.
You may cancel or reschedule up to 30 days prior to the scheduled school date. Cancellations or reschedules less than 30 days prior to the scheduled trip will result in forfeiture of your deposit unless another student fills your place.
Additional Notes:
Each day will be divided into two sessions. The first session will be spent mastering casting skills, while the second session will be spent learning how to apply the spey method of casting the down and across swung fly technique to catch fish. This is where the guides take over from the Spey Instructors and aid guests in finding and catching fish!
While the class has been intentionally scheduled during a time of year that steelhead are in the river and a good opportunity to catch a fish exists, the emphasis is on LEARNING the spey method of casting and practical swung fly fishing techniques so you can catch fish on your own. You can be certain we will be fishing productive water each afternoon, and the chances of catching fish are very good.
We have NO CONTROL over the weather and water conditions. Because this is primarily a spey school for instruction, the school will NOT be cancelled unless water conditions make wading unsafe for students. If conditions are not prime for catching fish, spey instruction will continue in the afternoon each day.
