PROGRAM

Single handed Skagit Spey Casting

The program will feature James Millard, Operations Manager for Olympic Peninsula Skagit Tactics, a group of steelheaders who focus on Skagit-style swing fishing for everything from king salmon to smallmouth bass. The Skagit River and the Olympic Peninsula have defined their products, the way they fish, and their philosophy. They are best known for their Commando Head Lines and single hand spey casting. They are a company dedicated to maximizing fly fishing enjoyment and opportunities. Their program revolves around Skagit casting, the most recently innovated “Spey” or anchor-based type of casting. It is their preferred methodology because of its wide latitude of angling versatility. It is distinguished from other Spey-type styles of casting by its use of a casting mechanism known as the Sustained Anchor, the key to Skagit casting versatility and OPST strives to optimize that effect by utilizing SAS (Sustained Anchor Systemology. By concentrating on SAS, the utmost potential of Skagit casting is achieved. They call the entire concept “Pure Skagit”.
