Special Group Activity (5pm Start) – Group Casting Lesson with Jonathan Walter from Clear Creek Fly Casting
We are lucky to have Master Certified Casting Instructor Jonathan Walter from Clear Creek Fly Casting to do a group casting event for us starting at 5pm. Jonathan will focus on how to improve your casting, with tips and advice on the elements essential to better casting whether it be for presentation, accuracy or distance. We will be bringing 30+ rods (first come first serve), but feel to bring your own so you can put into practice Jonathan’s instruction on equipment you know. Additionally, please bring a hat and eye protection (sunglasses or eyeglasses). Jonathan has lived in Colorado for over 30 years, has over 20 years’ experience teaching fly fishing, fly casting, and fly tying and is one of only a handful of FFI Master Certified Casting Instructors in the state. He created the Fly Fishing Section and Fly Fishing School of the Colorado Mountain Club. His teaching approach is based upon understanding your goals, assessing what is needed to achieve them, and breaking down the required skills into manageable steps. He feels that mastery of the fundamentals is critical to success at all levels. You can reach Jonathan at…
