Fly Casting and Fishing Clinics

 

Our Fly Casting & Fishing Clinic is an ideal introduction to the sport, based on a dynamic evaluation of each student’s needs.  We provide instruction in the essentials of fly casting, how fishing flies imitate prey, and methods to stimulate predatory responses from fish.  This is followed by a guided fly fishing expedition which will offer you opportunities to hone your new skills in one of New England’s finest fisheries.
