On this episod we sit down with David Flaherty, owner of Left Coast Spey.
David Flaherty and I live in Eugene Oregon on the Pacific Northwest where he own a casting
instruction business for both single hand and two hand rods.
"I started this business as there was a lack of specialized instruction while being a short distance to great year round opened rivers that have trout, steelhead and salmon opportunities. The major players that focused on spey casting and fishing are 2-3 hours away north or south and I saw an opportunity and need while also offering a different approach in a private teaching setting to cater to each person individually as we all learn differently to some degree. I fish year-round for multiple species, but the one species I focus on the most and travel throughout the year for are steelhead. Whether it be summer, fall or winter there’s always a river that has opportunities and I strictly only chase them by the means of a swung fly with a two hand rod generally referred to as spey rods. I’ve been fortunate to work with a few companies in the rod and line realm doing photography work for casting and fishing photos while also giving feedback for the rivers we fish. I’ve invested in a multitude of lines and rods searching for that perfect balance system and where its become a specialty of mine for matching systems together. I have a huge passion for helping others and I’ve seen so many people give up on it because of the lack of help or knowledge and why I’ve become an advocate on teaching so they can experience why it’s so amazing and allow them to understand it first hand without the struggles."
