SUMMARY:CASTING MATTERS: Mapping Your Casting Journey - Virtual Presentation
DESCRIPTION:SCROLL DOWN FOR LOGIN INFO. \nCasting is arguably the preeminent skill in fly fishing. It is also\, quite possibly\, the most frequently overlooked. While there is no consensus as to why\, I would point to a few reasons as likely suspects. Historically\, for lack of any existing standard of measure\, it has been difficult for a fly angler to self-assess his/her proficiency. Even if they could\, what then? What should be the next area of focus\, the next goal set? And how much time and effort would it really take to achieve notable improvement on the water? \nIn this presentation\, we’ll talk about how improved casting can both enhance your enjoyment of fly fishing and lead to more consistent success. We’ll also bust some myths about the amount of time and energy it takes for marked improvement (spoiler alert: it’s not as much as you think). I’ll offer some tips you can employ that will improve your cast the very next time you pick up a fly rod as well as ideas for mapping a path to continue building from there.  \nThis presentation is appropriate for all casting skill levels. \nPresenter: Cari Ray\, FFI Certified Casting Instructor\, FFI Texas Council Casting Director \nThe first time Cari Ray cast a fly rod she was all in. It stands to reason. Having spent years as a singer-songwriter and musician\, the rhythm and balance of fly casting felt immediately familiar…and satisfying. After stepping away from the touring life\, Cari combined her passion for fly fishing with her love of teaching to launch Zen Fly Fishing\, a school and guide service.  \nCari is a full time fly fishing guide\, Fly Fishers International (FFI) Certified Casting Instructor\, host of the Fisher of Zen Podcast\, and serves on the FFI Texas Council Board as Casting Director.  \nWith a particular passion for inspiring new fly anglers\, she loves mentoring beginning as well as advanced students/clients to identify\, learn and grow the skills necessary to achieve consistent and independent success on the water. Through her guiding\, teaching\, writing\, and public speaking efforts she invites anglers to learn and experience fly fishing in the wilds of nature and the context of mindfulness and conservation. \nFind Cari online at fisherofzen.com or on Instagram at @fisherofzen \nThis event is free and brought to you by the Texas Council of Fly Fishers International.\nLooking for more educational resources and/or fly-fishy-folks?

SUMMARY:Texas Trout School - Guadalupe Tailwater
DESCRIPTION:If I had a dime for every time I get asked “what flies are you using?” I’m always happy to oblige\, but what I often want to say is “you’re asking the wrong question.” Time and again\, I meet anglers who fail to understand that it is insufficient skill and/or knowledge\, not their tackle\, that holds them back. This is my answer to that conundrum. A curriculum that goes beyond flies and rigging to cover the skills necessary to achieve consistent success. \nIt is essential for beginners\, but especially helpful for warm water anglers looking to better understand the finer points and finesse of trout angling\,and those who often fish with guides looking to achieve similar success independently. \nIn this 1/2 day skills clinic\, you’ll come away better understanding:\n• The primary differences in approach when targeting trout vs. warm water species\n• Various flies and rigging techniques\n• How to read water and find fish\n• How to fish nymphs\, dries\, & streamers with greater success\n• Casts that catch fish\n• When and how to mend effectively\n• How to set up and manage your drift\n• How to set the hook and play the fish to reduce the risk of “remote release” \nON-SITE LODGING AVAILABLE!\nIf you’d like to make a weekend of it\, both cabins and RV spots are available at Summit. You can take advantage of a special 12% school discount or buy 2 nights and get one free (Thurs-Sun or Fri-Mon). \nYou will receive a confirmation email after purchase that will secure your spot in the class. You will also receive an email communication of more detail about what to bring and what to expect about a week out. \nIf you have any question before or after registering\, please reach out to cari@zenflyfishing.org.
