Joe is the "blogger in chief" here at Red's in addition to being our guide service manager and partner here at Red's. He is a father of 3 spunky children his wife Kelly can only be found fishing when the temperature gets above 85 degrees and the fish are gobbling up dry flies.

In addition to being a fly fishing junkie, Joe is a hard core bowhunter, is a volunteer Hunter's Eductation Instructor, and loves riding horses with his kiddos. Joe still guides a small part of the time but spends most of his time working on web marketing, travel, and helping customers find the right tools and information for the job.

Upcoming Spey Casting Classes

August 7, 2016

Decide to succeed. Steelhead season is approaching fast and its time to make plans and get your game together. Especially YOUR CAST! Don't wait till the fish are running to try and figure this stuff out. That is a recipe for failure. We have some classes coming up to help you out. I strongly encourage you to get signed up and learn from us.

I am personally going to be teaching 2 upcoming spey casting classes, and putting on a FREE Trout Spey Seminar on August 21st. The classes are limited to 5 anglers per class, so register right away while there is still space. The seminar is a big group format, no RSVP needed. It will be great and you'll learn some cool stuff at the Trout Spey seminar.

Upcoming Spey Classes:

August 14th - Klickitat River Spey Tactics ON the Klickitat - 1 Spot Left!

*This is taught by veteran steelhead guide and spey master Craig Chittenden.

August 20th - Spey 101 Class with Joe Rotter

August 21st - FREE Trout Spey Seminar by Joe Rotter

September 3rd - Steelhead Spey Tactics by Joe Rotter

Hi guys, anyone plan to come on August 21st for the Trout Spey Seminar? This is the free one.
Probably a ridiculous question (hence the fake name) but is a 2 handed rod required? I have a 9 foot, 9 weight that was built for salmon fishing years ago on Sage blanks.
Looking forward to Spey seminar.
I can provide rods, you won't need one for the 21st anyway.
