CASTING CLINIC
Accuracy, Distance, & Shooting head
Presented by Tony Yap
Saturday September 6
9:30 am – 11:30 am
Los Gatos Creek Park Casting Ponds
The key to success in fly fishing is accuracy and distance– Tony will be focusing on both. If you want extra distance then shooting head is the answer. Tony will share his technique for achieving maximum distance as well as accuracy.
Bring your favorite fly rod. Anything between 5 and 10 weight, with a reel and weight forward floating line, appropriate leader and tippet and some yarn (no hooks).
Bring a notebook and pen to take notes. Use a camera or phone to record video.
Be sure to bring protective eyewear. Sunglasses or eyeglasses - as long as they cover your eyes. This is a requirement; without eye protection you cannot attend the clinic.
and like Tony says … BRING AN OPEN MIND!!
Clinic is FREE for members of Flycasters.*Parking at the ponds is $6 - payable at the kiosk - they do ticket non-payers.
