The instructors will utilize a curriculum created by Fly Fishers International (FFI) called the Fly Casting Skills Development program (FDSD). The program aims to guide all fly anglers to learn and improve casting skills that address increasingly advanced fishing situations. It starts at the Foundation level, for true beginners to the sport who might be picking up a fly rod for the first time. It progresses through 4 levels: Foundation, Bronze, Silver, and Gold. These provide a broad, relevant range of fishing casts covering skill categories of loop control, accuracy, roll cast, presentation, change in direction, and distance. Better casting skills open more fishing opportunities with less frustration. All fly anglers can benefit and should be proud of their accomplishment. There is even an opportunity through FFI for recognition of casting accomplishments with an award document and a pin at Bronze, Silver, and Gold levels.
A parent or guardian must attend with children under 16 years of age.
You will need to indicate your Fly Casting Skill Level based upon the following information:
Beginner: a person who has never picked up a fly rod
Novice: a person who has tried fly casting a few times or it has been a long time since they have tried.
Intermediate: a person who understands fly line loop size and has been casting for some time.
Advanced: a person who can control the fly line loop size, can cast around objects and has been casting for several years.
