January 22nd, 2010 - Basic Fly Casting

Differences will be addressed regarding when and where to fish weight forward or double taper fly lines, along with differences in standard and large arbor fly reels as well as their drag systems. The comparisons of various fly rods with regard to their lengths, weights, number of sections and flexibility will also be covered.

February 6th, 2010 - Two Handed Fly Rod Spey Casting
A hands on casting clinic designed to help those beginning with the two handed fly rod cast and related techniques. We also offer a more advanced clinic on styles based on individual ability. Emphasis is on both the compact Scandinavian and Skagit styles of line casting. Shooting heads,line control, anchoring, snap T and presentation are all part of the professional instruction. We provide the equipment for the beginning caster to help determine which rod and line weights and their associated heads are best suited for their own style of casting and rod. Classes are held at selected areas of the Spokane river to maximize a real time fishing scenario. Cost is $50.00 per hour.
