clearwater spey gathering
Saturday September 28th 2024
The Red Shed Fly Shop, owned and operated by Mike "Poppy" Cummins and his family, is an icon for spey casting steelheaders fishing Idaho's famous Clearwater River. The tiny red shed, located near Peck, ID, offers a complete range of tackle and gear for fly fishermen, including rods, reels, fly line, flies, and tying material. But, what sets this shed-of-a-fly-shop apart is its focus on die-hard spey anglers.
Poppy, an avid steelhead fisherman, occasionally finds time to fish and passionately advocates for Idaho's famous B-run of steelies. Early each fall, he hosts the Clearwater Spey Gathering and Barbecue at the Lenore rest stop, a highly anticipated event for spey casting enthusiasts. And we're excited to announce that it's coming back!
If you're heading to the upper Clearwater, you've got to stop at the Red Shed Fly Shop. Poppy's got everything you need for spey casting and steelhead fishing on the Clearwater River.
