Rogue Spey Clave
Returning on August 22, 2026, the 2nd annual Rogue Spey Clave! This super fun event will return to Griffin Park in Southern Oregon on the banks of the Middle Rogue River just outside of Grants Pass. We have over 40 of the top brands, shops, outfitters, conservation organizations and other spey characters in the fly fishing industry. Everyone will be set up on a nice level lawn within a short walk to the river for easy casting of demo rods and to watch presentations.
We again have an all star cast of guest presenters, including Travis Johnson, Tim Arsenault, Dec Hogan, Charles St. Pierre, Jeff Putnam, Chris Odonnell, Jon Hazlett and Dax Messett. We will also have some elite fly tyers on hand, featuring Amanda Chapman, Bruce Berry, and others TBA. We will have back a truly biblical food truck with Rolling Smoke BBQ.
To close the event, we will have the already famous MEGA raffle featuring great items from the top brands in the industry, including a two boat 4 person guide trip on the Rogue with Dax Messett and Jon Hazlett and premium rods of choice from Nam Products and Sage!
