Date Activity Link DescriptionLocation
Sep 05 8:00 am - 10:00 amSpey Casting Class--8:00 AM Start on San Lorenzo River
Casting Master:  Alex Ferber  
For this class I will focus on an Introduction to Spey casting and be gearing it to those with little or no experience. Those with experience are welcome to come and work on their casting and I will be available to give tips.  I have rods to loan out, so if you don’t have a 2 handed rod there will rods for you to use. I should have enough for about 8 people. The remainder of the classes ( dates to be announced) will be a chance to continue your practice, but also an opportunity to work on some other casts that you might be interested in learning.
We will be wading into the river, so waders are a good idea.  We won’t be fishing–no hooks allowed.  We’ll have yarn to attach to your leader.
If you can, please let me know if you can attend, but it’s not necessary. Just show up.

Sep 20 1:00 pm - 3:00 pmFly Casting Meetup

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.
