Certified Casting Instructor Cert. Process

[Andrew R]

Hey all, I know we have a few CCI's in the chapter and was hoping to learn more about the process of becoming a certified casting instructor.

Definitely willing to put in the time/work to get the designation, just looking for some direction.

Not a CCI, but just something to think about:  The CCI program is really like a teaching certificate more than a personal casting achievement, or something to hang above your weight bench down in your basement.  If teaching is your bag, go for it and help others become better casters!

John B is a better source but I also would be happy to answer any questions you might have. I was certified almost 10 years ago so my experience is dated.

Hey, John B, how's things in CT?

Mark,

Very nice. I am in Madison, so learning about fishing the sound. Doing some two handed teaching and trips.

Good to hear, John. I'm on the bench with tendonitis - any CCI advice for casters so afflicted? Aside from learning to cast left handed? Which I really think I'm going to try doing.

Hey everyone,

Wanted to say thanks to everyone who reached out to me, especially Carl and John B. If anyone else in TPFR is prepping for the exam and would like to meet up, definitely don't hesitate to contact me.

Best,

Andrew R

Andrew R.

Did you ever go through the certification? I'm interested in potentially pursuing as well and wondered if you could share your experience or if anyone else would want to "train" together to prep.

Thanks,

David,

There are a few of us around that can help.  

If you can come to the Antietam Angler's Casting Rendezvous on March 5th, in Williamsport MD that would be a great start.  There will be a handful of CCI's as well as Phil Gay an MCI.

Are there any other's that are interested in certifying or at least re-engaging the casting clinic's please let me know.  I've been trying to find a regular time and place that will fit my schedule.

Hey Carl and David,

I'm still planning to take the CI, signing up for the Sept 29-30 days at Susquehanna State Park as soon as registration opens up. I think getting a consistent group together to prep would be great, perhaps at Fletchers for some casting churches?

Good morning!

I'm a new member living out in Annapolis (first post) planning on taking the CI test this September. I would be glad to travel out to the DC area practice together with other members going down the same path.

This is a great group you all have built. 

Thanks!
