Saturday April 27, 2019 - Distance Fly Casting (p.m.)

This class is geared to the saltwater fly-fisherman, looking to increase the distance of their average cast.

Distance seminars will cover the essential elements of distance casting:

proper loading and unloading of the fly rod

forming tight loops

lengthening the casting stroke with drift and the double haul.

Students should bring their own gear, 7-10 wt rod with a matching weight forward floating line is ideal (no sinking lines please).
1:30pm to 4:30pm - Meet at shop 15 minutes prior.
