Spey Nation 2025

SPEY NATION RETURNS AUG. 7-10, 2025

Swing The Fly is honored to announce Spey Nation will return August 7-10, 2025, to the storied banks of the Salmon River in beautiful Oswego County New York. 

This year, we aim to honor the event’s decades-long traditions AND offer a few new and exciting updates. 

First, you’ll notice the extended timeframe of the event. That’s because this year, for the first time ever, Swing The Fly and Spey Nation are inviting spey enthusiasts to join us for a 2-day Spey School, to be hosted in partnership with the Douglaston Salmon Run facilities from Thursday, August 7 through Friday, August 8. Spey School will be a comprehensive education with something for everyone whether you are a tenured angler or have just started working with two handed rods, from some of the most experienced anglers and instructors in the spey community, including: 

  • Tim Arsenault 
  • Rick Kustich
  • Jeff Liskay
  • Nick Pionessa 
  • Daniel Ritz 

And more! 

Of course, the free, open-to-the public event will be on Saturday, Aug. 8. at the Pineville Boat Ramp.There you’ll find live in-person demonstrations by those mentioned above and others, catered lunch,and more. After last year’s event, you told us what you wanted and we listened, so, this year, we’ll be expanding the spey vendors area and offering extended time for product testing in the afternoon. 

We’re working out the details, but there will again be opportunities to sign-up for technique specific classes on Sunday morning, August 10th, with instruction by some of the world’s top-tier casting instructors. 

More details on Spey School, opportunities to reserve your spot (16 openings for anglers in the 2025 Spey School) and opportunities to sign-up for specialized casting instruction will be announced in February so sign-up to join the Spey Nation mailing list through the link below.
