The workshops also give students crucial one on one time with Scott & Nautilus Pro and Instructor Ty Clifton. The course is designed for the beginning to intermediate spey anglers.

About Ty:
I have been guiding in Colorado for 13 years, cutting my guiding teeth in Western Colorado. This is also where I started Spey Casting, I originally did it for something to do on my days off guiding. Soon, I began to realize what water it opened up for me to fish here in Colorado. It took me to the Pacific Northwest for steelhead and it has grown from there. Along the way making me a better single-handed caster as well! Fishing a 2 Hander has become my preferred method of fishing and I love to share that passion. 
In my travels with a Spey Rod it has given me some amazing opportunities to fish with some amazing people like Scott O’Donnald, Jerry French and Ed Ward, some of the god fathers of Skagit Style Spey Casting. I was lucky enough to get to teach a 2-day school with Ed Ward, and I have adapted his way of teaching, which we will use in this class.
Ty currently represents both Scott Fly Rods and Nautilus Reels as a member of their Pro Staff.
