Last night was the final week of the Spring 2008 Trout Unlimited Fly Fishing Course I signed up for back in March.
Seven weeks of great instruction covering all aspects of Fly Fishing, plus a night out of the house is always a bonus. Here is a breakdown of what was covered in the 7 weeks.
1. Equipment, Intro to Fly Casting
2. Rods/Reels/Lines, How to Roll Cast
3. Entomology/Fly Select, Roll Cast, Basic Cast
4. Knots, Basic Cast
5. Nymphs/Dry Flies, Basic Cast, Line Hand
6. Streamers/Wet Flies, False Cast, Direction Change
7. Where to Fish, Review, Target Practice, Troubleshooting
Each session was three hours long, split up between classroom instruction and casting in the school gym or outside weather permitting.
If any of you get a chance to attend one of these courses where you live my advise is Go For It. The overall instruction was tremendous. I can’t say enough good things about the course.
Great Job Guys!
Jim –
Thanks for the positive feedback. I’m glad you enjoyed the course and found it worth while.
Hope to see you on the water.
