Fly Casting 101 Group Casting Lesson

 I finished up a 2nd "Fly Casting 101" casting session last week and it went pretty good! 

We covered the equipment - the rods (their different configurations, weights, actions), the reels (the
weights, need for spare spools), the backing (the reasons for it), the fly line (the different types and reasons for them), the leaders, the tippet and the flies - Saltwater, freshwater, trout flies.

After going over the casting stroke and the idea of "loading your rod with the fly line", we moved on to a good horizontal practice drill that you can do in your yard. While doing that we talked about the "5 principles to a good cast".  We then broke out into 3 groups where everyone got to try their hand at the horizontal casting drill. 

From there we moved over to a pond and went over a Roll Cast - easy to learn and it will have you catching fish in just a day of practice. Again, we split up into groups and everyone worked on that Roll  Cast.

Finally, we moved back to the grass and practiced a basic Pickup and Lay Down cast.  I advise all "students" who want to learn to fly cast to "Take a lesson, Read, Watch a Video, Practice.  Then, Read, Watch a Video, Practice. Then Read, Watch a Video, Practice!  Hah!  Just like learning to play golf, or tennis or any other "sport", you gotta practice! But you CAN learn to fly cast.

I provide the equipment for the casting and bring samples of line, leader, and flies and will bring handouts for reading at home. 

Can  you pull 10 people together for a group fly casting session?
