When Tim Arsenault first picked up a fly rod as a teenager, he had no idea where it would lead. From fishing local rivers in South Surrey to falling headfirst into the world of steelhead and spey casting, his journey has been anything but ordinary. Today, Tim is the driving force behind Bridge Fly Lines, a company that started with curiosity, competition, and a lot of trial and error.
When learning to Spey cast, many anglers focus on the cast itself, but the way you grip the rod and position your body can make or break your success on the water. Your grip and stance are the foundation of every good Spey cast, and getting them right will help you cast more comfortably, more accurately, and with far less effort.
