Josko -
I already owe you one for a joy ride on the Joskolater around the Elizabeth Islands and would be very happy to provide a bevy of spey rods and lines to try, and some basic how-to's thrown in as well.
Are you ever up around the Nashua area? I know a sweet little spot with very realistic river conditions, free of ice finally. I practice there fairly regularly.
We will be holding the Nor'easter Spey Clave in early May with Topher Browne and me offering free instruction, rods provided as well. I have a feeling you are talking much earlier than that though.
Let me know...
