Spey casting tips and fly fishing intention is covered in episode 004 of the Fly Fishing Podcast this week.   I had the pleasure of talking to Brian Chou who is a spey casting expert, spey line technician and all around cool guy.

Brian has influenced some of the largest fly rod and fly line companies in the industry and nerds out on why he loves it all.  Brian provides a bunch of great tips, gets us thinking about fishing with intention and talks about the Soul River Runs Deep.

  1. Really enjoy your site, been fly fishing for decades and still learning. Thank you for the great resource to learn a bit more. Launched a site to bring outdoors people together and coordinate adventures, AdventuresDomain.com, working on creating site where those of similar outdoor interests can connect. If you have the interest check it out, use it to coordinate outings and find new fishermen.

    • Sounds like a great idea Tom! I’ll take a look and see how it could be beneficial to some of the people listening to the show. I think making the connections is what it’s all about so applaud you for taking on such a cool project. Check back anytime if you need any help.

  2. Hey Dave, this is awesome. I featured this podcast in a blog post I made with Brian doing a single spey. I wasn’t able to imbed the podcast on my blog post fyi, which I would like to do eventually, but I just linked it and then posted it on Speypages so they could get to the interview via my site so hopefully, you will be getting a few hits. I’ve always wanted to see more of Brians casting so I was excited to see you were interviewing him and podcasting it. I thinks its super cool. Great Idea. I used your photo, hope you don’t mind.

    • Thanks for checking in Tim. All sounds great. I appreciate the share and you taking a little time to say hi. Let’s keep in touch for sure as the show moves forward. I’ll have a new episode every Tuesday. Jim Teeny is up this week and he shares some great old stories. I’ll take a look at the post and your site and keep in touch!

    • All looks good Tim. Thanks for the links and the share. I will be doing a series of interviews focused on some of the big steelhead rivers. Let me know if you have a river in mind that you would love to learn more about.
