Initial Casting Lesson & Gear Consult

To start off, I have found it extremely beneficial to get together and take a look at what equipment you have and get a sense of what you want to do with it. We will go over and ensure it is set up properly and you have as much information as possible to understand how it can all work together.

After that we take a look at current casting skills and ability and will evaluate your skills and identify areas of challenge and areas that are developed. To increase and refine small aspects, usually can make dramatic impacts on the enjoyment of the sport. Another aspect that we will cover is how to go about practicing and skill building and ways to do that by yourself, or on with others. Along the way I will always answer questions and help.  There's no benefit to just listening to someone keep talking about things if you're not ready to advance or not comfortable. Learning should be an enjoyable journey; this isn't a job and there will not be a test, and you will not be judged. This is fun!

What happens If you don't have equipment to start out?

Not a problem, I will have gear and rods to use, and we will go over not only the equipment provided but also consult on some avenues that are available to acquire gear of your own. We do this without judgment or arrogance and focus on getting the best value for your money and to fit what you want to get out of fly fishing.

How long does an initial lesson and consult last?

Generally, these sessions last from one to three hours depending on your wants, your time constraints and how much we just end up enjoying talking about fly fishing!

Can more than one person attend an initial consult?

YES! Generally I can accommodate up to about 4 people at the most for an initial consult, you have to realize that will also divide the amount of individual attentional and instruction we can fit into our available time. For multiple people I also do give a discount as each additional person gets 50% off ($40 charge).
