Re: Whats new in spey world ?

Fred, the Skagit (which Nick speaks of) is extremely wide, and it too can have fish anywhere. It is where Dec Hogan and that crowd had those killer pictures taken with like 200 feet of line in the air and the awesome mountains in the background. Having fished both the Skagit and the Deschutes, I'd say the Skagit is probably a longer reach...but both are clearly made for the 2 hander.
