We will be working on FFI skills development course from the Bronze and Silver levels. If you’re not familiar with these exercises, it would be a great time to come out and see what it’s all about. The skills are directed at improving your casting skills, and will improve your overall fly fishing success. This will be a perfect time for those folks who are just getting started, to learn some basic core casting techniques.  I will have practice rods if needed.  Hope to see you there.

Jul 19 9:00 am - 11:00 amFly Casting Meetup--9:00 AM Start on San Lorenzo River
Casting Master:  Alex Ferber  
This class will be focusing on the roll cast. Practicing on the water will make it a lot easier to master. I’d also like to expand on the roll cast by introducing single hand Spey casts. The use of single hand Spey casts will open up your ability to cast in tight quarters, and manipulate your line to open up new casting opportunities. Learning these casts will help introduce you to 2 handed Spey casting, as well as Trout Spey casts.  Single Hand Spey casting works well with any regular fly line (Weight forward ideally). There are Single Spey/trout spey lines available, but not necessary at this time. Bring your rod or borrow one of the club rods. No special fly line is needed for this class.
We will be meeting at the Mike Fox Skate park parking lot on the San Lorenzo river at 9 AM.
