Both Tim and Dec will be available for private lessons on the Sunday, June 9th.

Tim is World Champion Spey Caster and just won first place in the 2024 Spey-O-Rama competition! He has a wealth of information on line selection, rod/line matching and mending techniques. Tim designed, developed and created Bridge Fly Fishing Lines and knows more about Spey Line designs than most Spey Casters you'll ever come across because of this. 

About Dec:

Dec is a highly regarded steelhead guide, two-handed rod expert, and fly-fishing author. He is one of North America's most passionate and experienced spey veterans of all time with decades of expertise in and around the Skagit, Sauk, Skykomish, Grande Ronde, and Deschutes Rivers.

Will has worked at Far Bank for 8 years, in several positions, including his current role as Western Technical Representative.  This role emphasizes Dealer & Customer engagement with a focus on product education.  As an avid multispecies angler, Will enjoys the opportunity to learn about the various corners and nuances of the fishing industry.
