We all can remember just a few years ago heading to any summer or fall Steelhead destination and in a week of fishing seeing just a handful of Spey rods on any given river. Nowadays, take the same trip and you're more than likely to see just a handful of single handed fly rods wielded by Steelheaders. When Beulah Rods blossomed into full blown production of two-handed Spey rods just three years ago it was spot on timing and a natural extension of the “Switch” series they had unleashed that changed fisherman's minds about what a fly rod could be.

One thing that all Spey fishing seems to have in common over the last few years: Neither two rod builders nor two anglers can generally agree on anything Spey related from casting technique to properly lining the rod to how to hold your mouth when spey casting. We have also noticed that in the Spey game when you are chasing anadromous fish you never know if you are twenty minutes or two weeks away from your next pull. It is all of these factors and questions about lines, casting technique, flies and what part of the water column best suits success that adds to the never-ending mystique and thrill of fishing a two-hand fly rod.
