In this workshop, you'll be introduced to the basic techniques of dropping a fly 50-60 feet out, as well as the fundamentals of roll casting.

Equipment is available for rent from local outfitters. This is an ideal course for beginners new to fly casting, as well as to advanced fly fishing enthusiasts looking to perfect their cast.
