I remember the last casting church I was at had this theme.  Two years ago, the last one before the virus.  Sure hope I can make this one!

We will have our casting get together on Sunday, 13 Mar at Fletcher's Cove from 8am to 11am. 

This get together will be a bit different. We will focus on getting set for the upcoming shad season.

We discuss fly rod set ups including rods, lines, sink tips, and flies, as well as how to cast all that stuff.  Casting sinktips with weighted flies requires some technique adjustments.

We will then take a walk up stream to show and discuss bank fishing for shad. No need to wader up and all, but keep in mind that we are hiking a trail that is not well maintained, frequently muddy, and once we get to the shore, the rocks are not accomodating for stable footing. Waders and boots definitely make things easier.  The weather is also not usually accomodating as well.

We will help anyone with any particular casting issues.  Bring your questions. We will have some extra gear, no need to buy anything.  If you are curious about flyfishing/flycasting and are wanting to see what it is about, come on by. Dress for the weather.

Come on out, whether you are a novice, intermediate, or advanced caster, it is all fun to work on solving casting problems and casting challenges, particularly for shad.

If you are just getting started, this is a great way to meet people who can help.  There will be casting instructors on hand.

If you are preparing for an upcoming trip and looking to re-fresh your casting skills, this is a great opportunity.
