Safely kick off spring 2020 with investing in yourself to become a better fly caster, therefore becoming a better angler. This Gender-Inclusive Level Two Casting Clinic is open to all and geared towards the advanced beginner/intermediate fly caster. We will meet outside for 3 weeks to build a solid fly casting foundation.
COVID – 19 – We will follow all Washington State Covid-19 Guidelines. Fly Casting Classes will be outside, masks and social distancing will be required. All equipment will be sanitized before and after the class to ensure student/instructor safety.
The class will be taught in drills. This will allow the caster to breakdown each drill and bring practice ideas home. Each drill is directly related to a fishing situation. No equipment necessary.
Remember basketball players don’t get good at free throws without practicing for hours shooting free throws.
