The most frequent comment we typically make or hear as guides, fly shops owners, and hosts of destination travel are about how anglers need to work on their casting skill set before they embark on a trip. The fact of the matter is none of us are nearly as good as we think we are when it comes to fly casting whether on a single hand or two hander rod. If you rate yourself a 7, you're probably a 4......at best.
Improving your fly-casting skills will increase your confidence on the water, make your time on the water more enjoyable and less frustrating, and lead to catching more fish, plain and simple. If you are just getting started let's build a strong foundation, if you are a seasoned angler looking to improve their double haul, casting a sinking line, casting into the wind, want to throw big stuff better, or want to deliver a dry fly on target and achieve a great drift we can help.
We also offer Spey casting lessons and can teach you the most commonly used Spey casts, like the single Spey, the Snap-T, the Double Spey and others.
If you would like to improve at what is really the most important aspect of the sport give us a call and set up an appointment today.
Based on skill level and what we are trying to improve upon, or learn, 3-4 sessions are recommended.
Cost:
• One session: $50
• Two sessions: $80
• Three sessions: $120
• Four Sessions: $150
