Granite
Bay Flycasters will
be offering an Intermediate Plus Casting Clinic on Saturday, May 13, 2006
at Gibson Ranch Pond from 9AM until 12 Noon. . You must be a Club Member to
enroll in any GBF function. Membership applications are available from our
website at
www.gbflycasters.org.
Sign-up sheets
will be
available at the May
meeting along with directions to the Park. The purpose of the Intermediate
Plus Casting Clinic is to concentrate on techniques that will improve your
catch rate as a flyfisher.
The criteria to sign up for
this clinic are the ability to do basic casts or have completed a beginner’s
fly-casting class. It is necessary to be able to double haul on many of these
casts. For this reason, the first thing we will do is to develop efficiency in
the double haul.
We are interested in
accuracy and line control more than distance.
The casts we will cover and
perfect are as follows:
-
Single/double haul.
-
Shooting line.
-
Air mends/reach mends.
-
Curve casts.
-
High backhand cast.
-
The oval cast or
Belgium cast.
Plus a few others.
The fee for this class will
be $15 in advance to Granite Bay Flycasters. A sign-up sheet will be
available at the May meeting. Sorry, there will be no early registrations.
