What We Cover
The Basic Cast
Master the overhead cast from stroke mechanics to timing. We build a solid foundation before adding complexity.
Roll Cast
Essential for tight spots where a back cast isn't possible. A critical skill every fly angler needs.
Loop Control
Learn to shape your loop for distance, accuracy, and wind-fighting ability. The hallmark of an efficient caster.
Accuracy Casting
Hitting a 12-inch target at 30 feet. We'll work on placing the fly exactly where it needs to go.
Common Fault Correction
Tailing loops, wide loops, ticking the grass behind you — we diagnose and fix what's going wrong.
Line Management
Stripping line, shooting line, and managing slack. The 'boring' stuff that makes everything else work.
