Seventy years later, he’s one of the great archivists of fly-fishing books, rods, and reels.

Do Scandinavian anglers fish spey a little differently than we do?

Marcus Bohlin of Nám Products sits down to break it all apart. Rod length that feels easier, not harder. Thinner leaders that actually fish stronger. Why a 14 ft 7 wt makes sense on the Deschutes. And why Sweden keeps coming up as a place more steelheaders should be paying attention to.

This one digs into how Scandinavian thinking quietly shaped modern spey gear, and why some of the rules we argue about matter way less than we think.

“You can always see the current on the surface… but that’s the fastest water in the river.”

Mike O'Brien breaks down why speed control matters more than fly choice. Slow your drift 20–25% below surface current, and everything changes. Miss the speed, and trout won’t eat it for love or money.

Small adjustments. Big results. 🎣
