Tight quarters do not stop a season spey caster from hitting his mark. The beauty of a spey rod can be the ability to cast where standard fly casters can not. This can be a major bonus on heavily fished bodies of water. The Irideus 6/7 spey rod makes fast work of these tree lined quarters.

Add a fly rod and a pocket full of flies and you may have the a very special day on your hands. add a close friend a dog and a homemade lunch, well life is good.

It is also a reminder our sink tip approach to the day may be a week behind these now flying insects. Learn to love the life cycle of nature its the best way to free your mind on any given day!

Even the roads into your favorite fly fishing streams have the offering of peace on the mind. Think only of water it leads.

Letting the big trout you landed back into the hole you know like the back of your hand is a great feeling. The energy the trout passes back to you will see you through yet another week of work. Maybe a month for that matter. Now the sun is on the wane and its time to hike home. Your mind will be relaxed. You will remember the simple things. Your eyes will now be open to see mother nature in her true light. Look around, soak up each step. Be thankful to have fly fishing in your life.
