SPIFF Up for Trout Spring 2024

$300.00

Why invest in your Fly Casting Skills? Simply put, no one can cast for you! Good fly casters catch more fish and get more out of their time on the water.
A good cast allows you to effectively place your fly where you want in various fishing situations, such as in tight areas, on windy days, and with complex currents. The size of your loop impacts your accuracy, distance, and fly presentation. You will learn how to cast narrow and wide loops and when to use them. Cutting-edge video software will be leveraged to maximize your skill-building.
Audience
This workshop is for anglers who want to take their cast to the next level and are willing to invest time in practice. SPIFF is designed for anglers who have on-the-water experience. The workshop is not designed for a novice.
