Big Sky Anglers Spey Nerds Justin Spence, Matt Klara, Chris Daniel and Marco Ross will all be assisting Simon with instruction and acting as guides throughout the school. We have worked closely with Simon in the past in the instructional setting and love supporting him and his incredible depth of Spey casting and fishing knowledge. For those of you who have had a chance to cast, fish, or talk Spey with Justin, Matt, Chris, and Marco, you know that their knowledge and experience in Spey casting and fishing goes well beyond a simple passing interest.

This package not only includes world class instruction on everything Trout Spey from Simon Gawesworth and members of the Big Sky Anglers staff, but also lodging and meals at the Golden Stone Inn, guided fishing, and use of a full suite of Trout Spey gear from Sage, RIO, and Redington.
