You need to get that fly in the fish eating zone. This class will focus on getting the fly to the moving fish as well as getting the fly down quickly again when that fish does follow your plan. No tips & techniques afterward ... instructors need some practice time !

We will focus on the most important casting skills needed for saltwater fly fishing. This is especially important for those of you that spend most of your life chasing trout in rivers. Saltwater is a different game. No after class session today. If the wind forecast for the morning in 10+ mph, we will postpone this class and insert "Casting in the Wind".

Cast long for show, cast accurate for Bingo ! By far the most important thing you can do to improve your saltwater fly fishing success. Stick around after class as we discuss what characteristics we look for when booking a good guide. Again, this class may be postponed if the wind is a rockin‘ and we didn‘t already get the Casting in the Wind class held.

There is never a day that the wind isn‘t a blowin‘ in the salt. No sense getting frustrated with it. Just learn how to tame it. Regardless of what direction it‘s coming from, you can be very effective with your casting by learning the techniques of dealing with a gnarly wind. Stick around after class as we discuss fly fishing options in SW Florida where you don‘t need a boat.
