Winston is proud to announce our partnership with Tom Karrow, PhD Candidate, University of Waterloo, on his exciting research project – Ghost Stories.
Ghost Stories, is a conceptual book, film documentary and collection of short films centered on the lives of prominent pioneering Bonefish guides in the Bahamas. This project will document the lives of pioneering Bahamian guides, give them credit for their efforts in developing a world-wide angling phenomenon along with local Bahamian stakeholders, as well as apply their environmental knowledge to local resource management.
“On the famous Laxá Ađaldal in Iceland most Atlantic salmon anglers prefer using a two handed Spey. Perhaps I like to make things harder.
Q: Tell us why you are so excited about these new Winston Boron III TH-MS Microspey rods?
TL: When I first moved to Oregon to guide the Deschutes, Spey fishing was just getting its legs under it. Back then, I had to convince most of my clients to try two-handed casting. These days, it’s almost uncommon to see an angler fishing a single-hand rod on the larger Northwest steelhead rivers. The Spey revolution has hit the Great Lakes steelhead scene in recent years as well. As more and more anglers have realized how fun and effective Spey casting is, it has started to creep into other fisheries, especially the trout world.
Over the past couple of seasons it has become obvious to me that the only thing holding back anglers from pursuing non-anadromous fish with two-handed rods was the equipment. While there are other small “switch” rods on the market, in my mind no company has produced a rod that would be fun to chase smaller species with.
