individuals of all skill levels will benefit regardless of whether
they're making their first cast or just in need of a little
tune-up. Topics covered include the various casting strokes,
tackle selection, distance casting, casting with accuracy, equipment,
knots, and leader construction. Furthermore, the course reviews
in-depth tactics, strategies, and techniques used to fly-fish
for top gamefish in fresh and salt waters including. For an
additional fee, students can hire a USCG licensed fly-fishing
