As these winter days drag on, it’s likely that you’re daydreaming about learning the art of fly fishing, or you might even be contemplating a dramatic change to how you already pursue trout and salmon. Yes, it’s a serious itch at this time of year and we fly fisher people need to scratch it at some point soon.
We had a great day yesterday on the Connecticut River, learning the nuances and mechanics of two handed casting from IFFF Certified Two Handed Casting instructor William Ciaurro and his apprentice instructor Leo Tammaro.
Perhaps you’re like me and made a New Years resolution to get more active and reach your fighting weight again in 2015, or perhaps you’ve decided to learn a new discipline to enjoy your time on the water. If you’re the latter, you may consider our “Spey Casting with the Switch Rod” Clinic that we will offer on September 19, 2015.
That’s our own Alan Erdossy, who, along with Angus Boezeman, teaches the fine art of fly fishing at our Tall Timber Fly Fishing Schools each year. He was recently part of a photo essay on fishing in Vermont in the latest issue of Catch Magazine, a subscription based internet publication.
Another class of fly fishing students graduated in to the world this weekend, thanks to the efforts of Angus, Alan and Dave. Everyone had a good time, studied hard, and some of them even landed a few trout, which, as we all know, is better on a fly rod!
