On-The- Water Fly Fishing Schools

 

    One More Cast's On The Water schools present the opportunity for students to learn while they are fishing.  These schools stress how to read water, presentation techniques such as dead drifting, rod handling, casting skills and pattern selection. Schools are taught by Joseph and his staff of professional guides and school associates. School size is limited to insure all students receive adequate attention and have a good chance of being successful.

     Schools change locations from year to year to take advantage of the best fishing conditions. One More Cast's schools are normally two days in duration and are conducted Saturday and Sunday. Students have the responsibility for transportation, lodging, breakfasts, dinners and their own fly fishing equipment. Bring your gear by the shop and we'll give you a quick analysis and go over all of your connections so there will be no wasted time.

 2010 ON -THE -WATER TROUT SCHOOLS 


     We will have three  On-the Water Schools  plus a One-day Advanced Trout School for 2009. All Schools will be held on the East branch of the Eau Claire near Antigo, Wisconsin except for the One-day Advanced School which will be held on the Bad Axe River near Viroqua. These schools are an excellent opportunity to develop your small stream fly fishing skills as the focus of these Schools is to make you self-sufficient on any trout stream on the planet.

     Basic Fly casting skills that include a 25 foot Pick-Up-and-Lay-down cast and a basic Roll Cast are a must for these Schools as we will be spending the bulk of our instructional time developing better fly on the water skills. You will learn far more than just the basics of fly-fishing, you will learn more about where trout live, what they eat and how to find them. 

     If you feel you would benefit from a casting lesson before these School dates, don't hesitate to call me.
