Fly Casting Schools

 The dates have been set for the 2008 spring fly casting schools to be held at CB's Saltwater Outfitters on Siesta Key. The dates are March 15, April 5 and April 19, 2008. Instructors are Rusty Chinnis and Capt. Rick Grassett, Federation of Fly Fishers Certified Fly Casting Instructors.

The cost for the school is $150 including lunch. You must register in advance for the schools by contacting me by phone (941) 923-7799 or e-mail at snookfin@aol.com.  

The fly casting schools will focus on the basics of fly casting. However, if you already have some experience fly casting, we will work with you at your own skill level. The "Essentials of Fly Casting" are an important foundation for both beginning and intermediate fly casters and will be an integral part of our schools. We want to teach you to become a good fly caster, so that you can become a good fly angler. When you are able to cast effectively, the sport becomes a lot of fun!
Participants in our fly casting schools will be provided the use of the latest technology Orvis fly tackle, a textbook and various materials including an instructional video. In addition, as a participant in our fly casting schools, you will be able to purchase Orvis fly tackle at a discounted price.
Why not plan your next trip around one of our fly casting schools? You can spend a Saturday learning how to fly cast and then put your skills to work on the water. A day or an evening fly fishing trip combined with one of our fly casting schools may just cause you to get bitten by the fly fishing bug! There are plenty of accommodations on Siesta Key and Longboat Key in the close vicinity of our schools that I can get you connected with if you need help.
