Guided Ian, Jeff, and Peter from Melbourne today on the mighty Tongariro and though the main emphasis was to learn single handed spey casting, the guys still managed a few good trout as well. I spent the morning teaching the guys the single handed versions of double spey and snap T and for the most part had the flies reversed around to not catch any fish – but forgot to reverse the flies on my own rod which Peter was using and managed to land a couple of good Rainbows with. After lunch the guys used the casts in a practical sense and hooked a further dozen Rainbows.
