Fly Casting instruction is available through scheduled classes, or on a time-available basis through individual instruction. Our approach to casting is to teach students how to teach themselves. Students learn good casting techniques, how to recognize proper casting and how to continue practicing effectively.

On-the-Water Casting Lesson

 One hour Special

One day only Saturday, May 10, 2008

     Want to become a better trout angler? Here is an opportunity to receive individual instruction from Joseph Meyer while on the water.

     I am offering a one-hour, individual casting lesson designed to improve your small-stream casting skills.  You will need boots and waders as we will work on your casting, drifting and mending skills while wading an area stream.

   This is an excellent opportunity for trout anglers of all levels to improve their skills at this reduced price. The fee for a one-hour session is $50 for one angler or $75 for a one-hour session for two anglers.

     Individual Instruction for this one day special will take place every hour, on the hour from 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Sign-up and payment must be made in advance and you can designate the time slot that works for you by calling the Shop at 708.482.4990.

Beginning Fly Casting Clinic

     Casting clinics are limited in size so that every student receives individual attention and  are held Saturdays and occasionally Sundays. They last four hours during which students receive instruction on how to accomplish techniques and receive individual time with the instructor during practice. By the end of class, students will have enough skills to begin fly casting and fly fishing, but more importantly will have the knowledge of how to continue improving.

     Students meet at the store 15 minutes prior to class time, at 11:45 a.m.  Just before class starts we will drive to our practice area 5 minutes from the store.

     Pre-registration is required and may be made by phone (708-482-4990) using Visa or Master Card or may be made at the Store using anypayment means.

      Class Fee is $65 and students provide their own equipment unless otherwise noted.

2008 Casting Clinic Dates announced soon

                                                                 

     Your instructors are Federation of Fly Fishers Certified Casting Instructors, Sage Casting Instructors, or former Orvis Instructors with a minimum of 8 years teaching experience. Fly fishing and fly casting are a lot of fun, and your instructors want your class time to be enjoyable and successful.

     Good fly casting is not difficult but does require some practice. But, best of all, the rewards are great from the satisfaction of accomplishment and success on the water. Students need to register at least 1 day prior to class. Class size is limited to ensure all students receive individual attention during class.

      We will be glad to answer your questions or register you for casting instruction. Please ask for Joseph or Bob at 708-482-4990.
