You wont catch that trout if you cannot place your fly in front of him when, where, and how he wants it. A lesson from a qualified instructor is worth its weight in gold. Give yourself the advantage and learn effortless, good form fly casting by contacting Chris for a one on one, or group clinic.

Free Tip: As your backcast unrolls, gravity is pulling your line towards the ground. If you send your line directly behind you, by the time it unfurls, it will have dropped beneath the rod tip, requiring precious energy from the rod just to lift it up and over again. Think of your backcast as more of an 'up cast', stopping your rod tip on an upward travel. This will change the trajectory of your backcast, and by the time your loop straightens, it will still remain high and efficient, ensuring a smooth beginning to your forward stroke.
