This is a great "clinic" and an opportuniy to LEARN more about our sport..........I went to one of these and found out that I did not know quite as much about fly casting as I thought I did. I also gained a great deal of respect for the Certified Casting Instructor program. Actually it is much more rigorous than any program I have ever been exposed to.........Al Crise (Barry's Dad) is the most knowlegable fly caster I know of and is a Master Certified Casting Instructor. This is a very big thing.

Like many sports, with good quality instruction, that sport becomes much more enjoyable. You will more than save the cost of the class in knowledge about the proper equipment to use, thus avoiding the cost of the mistakes you will other wise make in ill advised equipment purchases.........

Put this class on your calander !!!!
