Casting Church, 9 May 2021

[Regan Burmeister]

We will have our casting get together on Sunday, 9 May at Fletcher's Cove from 8am to 11am. Important welfare note, this is Mother's Day. 

Fingers crossed for some nice spring weather for some casting work, nothing in particular to focus on, but I thought it would be fun to have some friendly distance throwing.

We will help anyone with any particular casting issues.  Bring your questions. We will have some extra gear, no need to buy anything.  If you are curious about flyfishing/flycasting and are wanting to see what it is about, come on by. 

The shad season has been great. The fish are still there. If you are frustrated with casting sinking tips and sinking lines, bring your questions and those tips and sinking lines if you have them. Our instructors will bring their setups as well, in case you don't have that gear. We will help dial in your casts.

We will have a casting station for those who want to begin to pursue the FFI Casting Challenges program (see FFI website). This is a fun and low-key way to improve skills and get recognized by FFI and your peers for your achievements. It is a good way to also set the stage for eventual pursuit of Casting Instructor (CI) certification, if you are interested in that pursuit.

We will practice social distance.  Pretty easy to do since we are outside.  And since we are all holding fly-rods and moving them around, this separation tends to work out naturally.

However, if you are ill or suspect you might be, please respect the health of others and rest up at home.  There will be other casting churches, once a month at least.

Come on out, whether you are a novice, intermediate, or advanced caster, it is all fun to work on solving casting problems and casting challenges.

If you are just getting started, this is a great way to meet people who can help.  There will be casting instructors on hand.

If you are preparing for an upcoming trip and looking to re-fresh your casting skills, this is a great opportunity.
