Klamath River: , by Dax Messett: Spey Camp was epic!: 5 stars

Gino, Leslie Ajari and myself just finished up our Spey Camp on the Lower Klamath River.  Most of the guests who joined us made sure to tell us that it was one of the most enjoyable angling trips they have ever experienced.  Speaking for the crew, it was definitely one of my favorite fishing trips that I have been a part of, and its right here in our backyard.
 
We set up a first class camp on a bluff overlooking the two beautiful swing runs that we have for our home water.  We are surrounded by tree lined mountains and wildlife all around us.  The weather was absolutely amazing for camping.  Leslie provided superb dinners that included steak, pork tenderloin, and chicken along with excellent veggies and side dishes.  We also had a BBQ lunch each day after our morning session, and you have the option to fish the home water or just relax until the evening fishing session.  Gino ran us to prime spots on the river that he knows as good as anyone in the business, and provided stellar casting instruction and tied some flies in the evening that hooked both dime bright steelhead and adult salmon.  I got to work closely with each guest on their speycasting skills, and was pleased with everyones development.  Another bonus of the trip is that everyone hooked multiple dime bright steelhead and even landed some giant salmon on small spey rods.  Epic.
 
If you want to experience elite casting instruction, superb food, and a first class camping and angling experience, join us next year.  Gino, Leslie and I will be back next August, and will be offering 5 spey camps this time.  Specific dates will be available soon.  Everyone that came this year wants to rebook, so get a hold of myself, Gino, or Andrew soon to reserve your spot on one of the coolest new steelhead trips on the West Coast.
