Fly-Fishing Essentials III: Half-Day Distance and Advanced Casting Techniques

• Learn or improve your advanced casting techniques
• Practice double hauling, accuracy casting and slack-line casting

Learn the advanced-casting techniques that will add distance to your casts so you can get your fly to the fish—wherever they are. This is the ideal course for the angler looking to increase accuracy and delicacy when trout fishing and to increase distance for saltwater species, such as striped bass, tarpon and bonefish. It's also an excellent way to prepare for your next fishing trip to the tropics.
