Watch as George Cook discusses spey casting angles, sink tips, fly presentation and history of spey casting, skagit casting, spey fishing and trout spey at the 2019 Alaska Spey Clave.
At Cooper Landing Fishing Guide, LLC, we are super passionate about spey fishing for a variety of species, but we especially enjoy Trout Spey Fishing both with clients and when we are fun fishing.
Every year we are proud to share the wonderful technique of spey fishing for trout and salmon by teaching our guests the two-handed style. We are lucky enough to be a part of a lot of firsts as people discover spey and skagit casting and often times, catch their first fish on a spey rod.
Cooper Landing Fishing Guide, LLC is located in Cooper Landing Alaska and we are certified Kenai River Fishing Guides on the Kenai and Kasilof Rivers fishing for both trout and salmon. We spey fish for trout and salmon and can't get enough of it!

I'm Scandinavian from Sweden 🇸🇪 sure we fish 14-15.6' rod because we fish longer lines 30-50feet. And I wish see anyone throw a scientific anglers 850gr 33' deepwater Express whit a 12.6' rod it ain't going to work ! And we use copper tubes to get deep ! Because our river is often deep and you cant wade the water! You fish from the riverbank and that slope goes 45° down and a rod length out it can be 15' deep. And in cold weather water fish ain't going to rise to take your fly. We got to get deeper then 15' T17 that's not enough to catch fish in snow cold water! My favourite fishing line would be a 20' head and 1500gr that would get my fly down. So now I use the 850gr back the days there was 900-1100gr ledcore lines. But as water goes up in temp we change to 13' rod and often a 580gr skagit so we fish those rods here. The swed 🇸🇪

Such great info! I really need to start tying on my copper tubes. Sounds like our fishing conditions are a lot easier!

@@CooperLandingFishingGuide Hi there 😊 sure you do if you need go down deep. I gone so far I'm tie on piece of brake line to cars and I put plastic tub inside to save my leader! Our pools can be 30-40ft deep and when its ugly rough I bring my old UK made Black Shadow 17' rod it's a 13# and I can handle that 850gr deepwater Express and I have fit a 12' T17 tip on it some days when really bad conditions! This is the extrem spring Mars-April time as soon this coold period is over I go to my 13,6' 8/9# and I'm use 580-650gr skagit depends on how windy it is and size of fly I'm use. In spring 2-4" intruder or tubflys is mostly what we use. As time goes we end up tie our flys on #2 swing hook or short shank carp hooks. To have a strong hook because we have big fish ! Salmon up to 60lbs sea trout up to 25lbs so the year go on fishing change a lot. But try even big conehead for your flys. My favourite fly hook is a single 3/0# Partridge salmon that hold fish good.

I sure do :)

Would have been nice to see him cast as a demonstration rather than talk about it seeing he's at rivers edge rod in hand just saying.

[@CooperLandingFishingGuide]

He usually does 2 presentations per day with lots of casting, but this year he did one on the water and one in the parking lot on sink tips. Perhaps at the 2020 show he will. I'll be sure to post it :) Thank you for watching!

Would have been even better if people were polite enough to shutup in the background while george is trying to teach.
