Fly Casting Meetup – Jan 24, 1:00 PM at Jade Street Park baseball field, 4400 Jade St, Capitola, CA, 95010

I am going to be offering a skills development clinic for our first 3 Saturday Casting clinics this year. The class dates will be January 24, February 28 and March 21. The classes will be held at the Jade St Park from 1-3 pm. This class will be limited to 6 participants. I will be going over some of the necessary skills to be successful in the Surf. We will be covering basic casting skills as well as working on double hauls while using sink tips. I would like to focus on using single hand rods for this class. My goal is to prepare those interested in Fly Fishing in our local waters in the Surf, but these skills will also come in handy when casting sinking lines in other situations. We will discuss safety, wading, use of stripping baskets, equipment as well as “Reading water in the surf”. In addition to the 3 classes, we will have an additional class in the water to work on these skills in a real time (date to be announced, probably some time in April).
If you are interested in attending this class, please let me know.

You may bring your own wine; however, a cash-only corkage fee will apply, which includes opening and glassware.

Donations

We welcome donations for door prizes and the silent auction. Examples include:

About the Venue

The Rod and Gun Club is located in a peaceful rural setting overlooking Kelley Lake. The gravel parking lot is easy to navigate even in wet weather, with additional parking available in the lower lots around the left side of the building.

Please Note

Due to permitting limitations, we will not be running a raffle or any other “games of chance” this year. Door prizes and silent auction items will still be part of the fun.

Join us for a great evening, support your club, and don’t miss out on the fun!
