What:
A Beginners’ Fly-Casting Class is being offered. The class instructors are John Townsell and Jim Black. John has taught fly-casting to individuals and other fly clubs for over 50 years. Jim is an FFI-certified fly-casting instructor who has taught fly-casting classes for 10 years.
They will teach you fly casting methods and provide a printed lesson plan so you can use it to practice outside of class.
There will also be 4 other NFA volunteers to give you personalized instruction on common fly-casting skills.
Student Expectations:
*This leader is good for learning how to cast but not so good for actual fishing.
