Fly Casting Instruction
 

    Capt. Rick is a Federation of Fly Fishers certified fly casting instructor. He offers both private instruction and instructional fly fishing trips. For the beginning fly angler, he will focus on terminology and the essentials of fly casting. You will get a good understanding of basic casting, false casting, roll casting and shooting line. Leader construction, flies and fish fighting techniques will also be covered.

    If youâre an intermediate fly angler and comfortable with the basics, Capt. Rick can work with you to improve your casting skills or correct any bad habits. Learn to double haul to increase distance and cope with wind. You will also learn to control line, cast to a target and cast shooting heads or sink-tip lines.

    You might also consider an instructional fly fishing trip. Put the casting skills you have learned to use on the water. This will give you an opportunity to deal with fishing situations from the deck of a boat or by wading. Learn how to cast under mangroves and docks and how wind and current affect different fishing situations. You may have an opportunity to practice sight-fishing, which is one of the most rewarding forms of fly fishing!
