Many people who would like to try fly fishing are reluctant to do so because they are intimidated by the cast. They have watched the movie, “A River Runs Through It” where a guy was using a technique called shadow casting or saw someone fly fishing and throwing fifty or sixty feet of line in a perfect loop to a rising trout. That is intimidating, but that is not what learning to fly fish is about.
That kind of casting comes from a LOT of practice. We can guarantee you that they started casting the same way we all do...with the basic casting stroke.
Over the years we have heard many people say that they are not coordinated enough to learn to fly cast. To that we say, “If you can lift a cup of coffee from the table, take a sip, and set it back on the table, you are coordinated enough!” That may be exaggerating a bit, but not much. We don’t want to over-simplify fly casting. There IS a learning curve. But with some instruction and practice, just about anyone young or old can enjoy this awesome sport.
The class normally starts at 8:00 am and ends between 3:00 and 4:00. Classes are one-on-one, or two friends can share the experience. You won’t be thrown in with a group and have to worry about learning new skills with strangers.
