FFI Challenges of Fly Fishing

The many challenges in fly fishing is what brought us to the sport. The challenge of finding fish, making the presentation, achieving the correct proportions in tying flies, and the challenge of making the fly line and fly turnover on the water.

In fly fishing you can find a fishing guide who will find the fish and provide you with a well tied fly to match the hatch. Your challenge is to make the cast, delivering the fly to a target, and making the presentation. In talking with fishing guides their greatest frustration with getting their clients into the fish of their dreams is the client’s less than prime time fly casting skills.

 

Fly Casting Skills Challenge Program

Recently the FFI rolled out the Fly Casting Skills Challenge Program. There are three levels progressing from bronze to gold. The objective of the casting skills challenge is to optimize the basic skills at the bronze level and learn more advanced skills at the gold level. The skills are directly related to everyday fly fishing whether it is making a roll cast, double hauling and adding more distance to your cast. Who out there doesn’t want to double haul and add more distance to their cast?

 

When working through the skills challenge, you will have an experienced fly caster or an FFI Certified Casting Instructor there to provide you with instruction and helpful tips to achieve the tasks.
