The classes’ objective is to facilitate and share drills, tips, and most importantly share the understanding of modern fly casting. Everyone’s personal journey constantly is enhanced by viewing things over time. Tradition has many gems to take into the future. Evolution is pushing it ahead by conveying what has been introduced in defiance of tradition.
Gain an understanding and appreciation for various rod loading along with the concept of “less is more” regarding loop efficiency. Once this becomes clearer there is a light-bulb moment for the student. This equates to greater efficiency for making fly casts while on the stream. Advanced.
