Had a pleasure to meet and get some tips and advices from one of the biggest legends in fly casting world – Simon Gawesworth. Simon is mostly known for being a Sage, Redington and Rio ambassador. Flyshops all over the world are full of his books and DVDs, Youtube is loaded with his casting videos and demonstrations. But from all the videos that I’ve watched, the one that stood out for me was his Single Handed Spey Casting series. And that’s what I was trying to bother him the most on as seen from the photos. I think Australian and New Zealand rivers are perfect for this kind of casting, but for some reason haven’t got that much of attention as elsewhere in the world. Anyway, an afternoon well spent – some new gear tried and some new people met. Always great when that kind of personality arrives to your local park, 15minutes away from home. Happy days.
