Rick Whorwood Fly Casting School

I purchased my first fly rod and reel in the summer of 1972. That summer I made multiple trips to the Saugeen River near Durham Ontario. As I persevered I became increasingly disappointed with my casting. Frustrated, I would invariably relinquish my fly rod and replace it with spinning gear. I believe for all my effort, I caught a creek chub. It got to the point where I pretty well gave up. In the late 70's and early 80's I got the bug again. With renewed determination, my goal was to catch fish on a fly. Researching the subject through books and magazines convinced me that if I wanted to progress, I needed direct help. Taking a lesson from a reputable instructor resulted in remarkable improvement. In only a few short hours, I was ready to hit the river and catch fish. The lesson was my turning point! Since then, I have continued to learn and practice the art of fly casting. Passion and effort have helped me achieve the 3 FFF casting instructor certifications. This and years of teaching have honed my teaching skills. If you want to become a better fly caster, whether with a single hand, or two handed fly rod, I can help...
