Fall Steelhead Spey casting with Irideus Spey Rods and Zen Shooting Head Fly Fishing Line Systems

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.
