**Hong Kong spey fishing: where to go and how to get started**

HK isn’t the classic spey mecca, but you can scratch that itch in a few freshwater pockets with the right approach. Here are practical options and tips for the early-winter season.

**Where to go (practice spots in HK)**
- **Sai Kung area streams (New Territories)** — streams flowing through the Sai Kung country parks are a favorite among HK fly fishers for tester casts and learning two-handed setups. Always check access rules and, if possible, fish with a local guide or club that knows the streams.
- **Tai Po / Tai Lam area streams** — upstream pockets in these regions offer calmer water for practicing casts and mends.
- In general: seek freshwater streams within country parks in the New Territories; many spots require permission or guided access.

**Gear & technique**
- Rod and line: a two-handed rod in the 11–13 ft range with a 6–8 wt line is a solid starting point for trout-sized HK waters. Pair with a Skagit or a short-belly line and a light sink-tip.
- Casting basics to practice: double haul, D-loop, and basic Spey casts. Start with a micro-Skagit setup for easier mends and longer casts.
- Flies: simple wet flies and small nymphs work well; adapt to local insects you observe along the stream.

**Weather and timing (early winter)**
- Early winter (Nov–Feb) cools the water and can boost fish activity, but mornings are chilly and rain is possible. Dress in warm, quick-drying layers and bring waterproof boots.

**Tips to stay legal and respectful**
- Always verify access rules for country parks and reservoirs; some waters are restricted. If you’re new, consider joining a local fly fishing club or hiring a guide who knows the water and regulations.

If you’re patient and prepared to hike a bit, HK’s quiet streams can deliver rewarding spey-casts and serene winter moments. Tight lines, mate! 🎣🌊💪
