SPEY & TWO HANDED RODS

Thanks for the info. I just ordered an Echo Shadow II outfit from Red's and looks like I made the right choice. Fished with Leif, Craig and Max in July for 3 days on the Yakima along with 3 of my buddies. Fantastic!!! Can't wait to go back. Just wanted you to know that the beginning of last year I took a Fly Fishing 101 class at my local Collage which started me on my way to an incredible adventure. I happened to stumble upon Red's Fly Shop while looking for some gear and appreciated the great service. But, I have to tell you that after those initial classes, I have learned more about Fly Fishing from you than anywhere else. Great idea you had when you started on youtube. Keep it up. Allen
