Casting Lesson

Fly fishing isn't just a hobby. For many of us, it's a lifelong pursuit, and a great fly cast is the foundation of it all. Whether you've never held a fly rod, have been battling the same bad habits for years, or are getting ready for a special trip, the right instruction changes everything. With nearly 30 years of fly fishing experience and over 15 years teaching anglers of all skill levels, I've learned that everyone has something to gain from focused, personalized coaching built around their goals and challenges. I break down the foundational mechanics of fly casting in a way that is easy to understand, and with the right guidance, patience, and practice, anyone can become a better fly caster.

Beginner: Whether you just purchased your first outfit or you have been at it for a few years, there is a lot to be gained from this course. It is the best way to build fundamental skills and accelerate your learning curve. This lesson will breakdown the foundational concepts, mechanics and techniques of basic fly casting and present them in a way that is easy to understand and apply.

Intermediate/Advanced: This lesson is designed to work on intermediate to advanced casting skills such as double hauling, casting in the wind, casting heavy or wind-resistant flies, casting sinking lines, and other various situational skills needed for a productive day on the water. This lesson can also be tailored to something specific you want to work on. Just let me know what you have in mind and I'll put together a customized lesson plan to help you get there!

Saltwater Prep: Maybe you have spent several years fly fishing in freshwater and now have an upcoming saltwater trip. I can’t tell you how many times I have hosted anglers in saltwater destinations, all over the world, only to find out that they haven’t done any preparation or practice for the trip they are on. They end up spending the majority of their trip just knocking the dust off or working out the kinks only to find it is time to go right when things are starting to click. Fishing trips and time are too valuable for that. Spending a couple hours and a couple hundred dollars on casting lessons beforehand is money well spent.

Send me an email, let me know where you're headed and when, and I'll help put together a plan that builds your confidence, maximizes your enjoyment, and makes sure you arrive ready to fish.
