It has been confirmed to me today that I cannot go down to my local river (Fall over and roll three times and I'm there) and practise casting with a hookless thing on the end of my line and no flees on my person, without having a valid migratory fish licence. Is this true (I bet it is and kind almost see why)? The lad reckoned I could be taught to spey cast on a still water. I think that would be like being taught how to drive in an aeroplane or am I wrong?

You can be taught the basic movements of the Spey cast on stillwater, but I would recommend that you get instruction on flowing water. You get much more of a feel on how the rod is loading at various points and a better appreciation of the timing on flowing water. This is especially important with medium or long belly Spey lines. With the shorter shooting heads, timing is less critical, so it would be quite easy to learn on stillwater.

Thanks for the help - I will make sure I get my first lesson on flowing water.
I will be using what I assume is a relatively easy line - snowbee 1d 10wt floater with a 13ft rod

Yes, that should be an easy line to start with.
