Fly Casting  Clinics 
 
Casting is the physical skill of fly-fishing, and nearly all fly fishers can benefit by improving their casting. 

Loop Control and Reach Cast Clinic (dry land clinic)
Controlling your fly line is the foundation of good fly casting, and the reach cast is the secret to effective dry fly fishing.  The first part of this clinic focuses on controlling your loops on both forward and back cast and eliminating tailing loops.  In the second half of the clinic you'll learn to make consistent and accurate reach casts.

Distance Casting Clinic (dry land clinic)
