Individualized Instruction and Assessment
In
the developmental stages of many fly fishers, casting problems
develop that require individualized assessment and instruction
that is tailored to your specific problem. During observation
of your casting, I will analyze your cast and break it down into
line, rod and body motions. As a result, you will learn the source
of the problem and how to correct it. Guided practice will ensure
that you can "take the fix home with you" so to speak
and that you will not forget it.
Or, you may want to just focus on learning a new skill or technique,
through individualized instruction. For example, you may want
to learn about hauling, improving loop control, casting for distance,
casting for accuracy, slack line casts, or some other technique
or cast. This instruction is custom tailored to help you be successful
in meeting your goals.
