Perhaps
the biggest problem facing anyone who can fly cast beyond 45 feet is a tailing loop. A tailing loop is when the leader and the front of the line crash into the main line near the end of the cast. While tailing loops can occur anytime, they usually develop in a longer cast – especially when the angler makes an extra effort to gain greater distance than he or she can comfortably cast.

Learn the techniques to master the double haul. The double haul will add line speed and enable you to punch your fly through the wind, increase your overall distance, and take some of the workload off your rod hand. Learn Tony's secret, "Double" really means "Four"
.

Tony asks that you bring your favorite fly rod.  Anything between 5 and 10 weight, with a reel and weight forward floating line, appropriate leader and tippet and some yarn (no hooks). Bring a notebook and pen to take notes. Be sure to bring protective eyewear.  Sunglasses or eyeglasses - just as long as they cover your eyes.  This is a requirement; without eye protection you cannot attend the clinic.

Clinic is FREE for members of FLYCASTERS
