Congratulations Whitney and Kara!

Spey O Rama 2017 Women's results
Way to go ladies!

Last weekend was the 2017 Spey-O-Rama (SOR) World Spey Casting Championships at the Golden Gate Angling and Casting Club, and we’re pleased to announce that not one, but two, Deneki family members placed at the top of the competition this year!

Alaska West alum, Whitney Gould, won her fifth SOR women’s casting title, while BC West lodge manager Kara Knight, came in at runner-up for the third consecutive year. Wow.

But that’s not all.. Not only did Whitney win her 5th title, she also set the all-time women’s record for longest spey cast at 150 feet, and greatest four-cast total of 559 feet. Double wow.

Please join us in congratulating Whitney and Kara on such a terrific job. Nice work ladies, we’re super proud of you.
