Is this, or are they, an actual thing? If so, what defines Spey Bros? I heard this term, but I don't know what it means.

It’s a plural noun. Means streamer junkies with penis envy.

I’d include myself, but I don’t have penis envy now that I’ve got an 18' 10wt.

Spey bros are the same as any bro chasing stoke, its just the stoke is the spey rod. Plenty of overlap with the Spey Hipster and the Spey Douchebag.

I know, cuz I'm a card carrying member of all three clubs.

I can picture a Spey Bro and a Spey Hipster. But what is the Spey Douchebag? Funny hat and an 18 foot 12 weight?

Spey bros are a thing. They are the younger generation of spey addicts.
Not talking about your Mike Kinney, or Dec Hogan, or Ed Ward gen 1 type spey addicts.
Spey bros are the kids of the OG spey addicts. They love the game, but for different reasons.

There are a few things that define the 'spey bro'
  • Have presence on Instagram (minimum 500 followers)
  • Every trip to the river results in multiple posts with hashtag #speylife #speybum #speyguy etc. etc.
  • Possess minimum (3) Yeti coolers
  • Can't snake roll
  • Can't single spey
  • Probably wears a flat bill hat
  • Wardrobe is 70% simms, 30% Howler Bros
  • Usually brings minimum of (4) rods on every trip to the river. Despite the fact that one is plenty.
  • Owns at least (3) go pros.
  • Rio/Airflo is the only line they know
  • "Crushes" Vitamin R e.g. Rainier Beer
  • Probably has 27 different stickers on his truck indicating he fly fishes.
  • Does not 'get' the appeal of clicker reels
  • Says the word "bro" more often than necessary (which is basically never)
  • Responds to statements with the phrase "for sure"
  • Probably has a tan line from sun glasses
  • Doesn't understand why anyone would fish for steelhead with anything other than an intruder
  • Uses fluorocarbon leader
  • Has every single MOW tip made by Rio
  • Takes 7,000 photos of each and every single steelhead they catch. Even hatchery fish.
  • Posts to instagram photos of caught steelhead while out on the river.
  • Constantly looking at phone
  • Doesn't own an indicator
That's a starting point for you.

Do red amnesia and yellow stren count as owning an indicator?
