Why Should You Take the Fly Fishing 201 Class:
As the late Lefty Kreh said, “If people could cast better, they’d catch more fish.” In this class, we delve into the secret to casting better, namely being able to form, control, and change the shape of our loops. This skill is not only fundamental to all casting, but it is the single best way for any caster at any level to improve their casting. Improving loop control will help with:
Accuracy, Distance, & Casting Under Varying/Adverse Conditions (e.g.: Wind) Opening the Door to More Advanced Casting Techniques (e.g.: Double-Haul)
This class is focused on loops, loops, and more loops. We’ll focus on how to make appropriate loops (narrow loops & wide loops) and the secrets to controlling them. You’ll practice the loops with special attention to proper Pickup-and-Laydown (PULD), understanding the importance of the back cast, and cast trajectory! And we’ll even give you some homework!
