Missouri River Trout Spey with Jon Hazlett with Special Guest Simon Gawesworth

Max Salzburg January 21, 2025

Learn trout Spey techniques, and the skills necessary to target trout using a trout Spey outfit.

Whether you are a seasoned trout Spey angler or new to the sport, this trip to Montana is sure to be an exciting and educational adventure. The Missouri River Trout Spey School includes the latest premium Sage fly rods and RIO fly lines perfectly matched for the Missouri River. Students will learn in the classroom on select mornings and evenings and spend the first day learning to cast. The second day of the course is designed to teach anglers the many different fishing techniques you can fish trout Spey with, using both Sandi and Skagit heads, all while wading the Missouri River. The remaining two days concentrate on putting into practice the skills learned with two days of guided fishing with top trout Spey guides. This course is designed to give you all the tools you need to enjoy and maximize the wonderful fun that is fly fishing with a trout Spey outfit. You will learn the various casts needed, a wide range of fishing techniques, and build up an understanding and knowledge of the wide variety of gear used when fishing with trout Spey outfits. In short, if you are even slightly interested in getting into the trout Spey game, this course will put you firmly on the right road.  

The schools are designed so that students leave the course with all the knowledge and skills needed for a lifetime of enjoyment in fly fishing. We do this by keeping the instructor to student ratio to an absolute minimum. On group lesson days there will be a maximum of 4 students per instructor, and on the putting-into-practice fishing days, only two guests per professional guide.
