FUN-damentals of Fly Casting, Gear, & Knots for Kids! 

Chris Korich, World Casting Champion and U.S. Team Coach, along with fellow volunteer instructors from GGACC, are helping prepare Bay Area kids (ages 8-12) for future fly fishing opportunities!

FUN youth casting sessions will emphasize the following foundational fly fishing skills, fish conservation and safety information:

Grip & Stance Alignment (at targets!)

Roll Casting

Pick Up & Lay-Down casts

Line Extending & Retrieving

Fish hooking, fighting, & releasing

Eye, skin, and water safety

While this pre-teen instruction will focus on basic fly casting skills by performing FUN drills and playing games, we will also be teaching your child about proper tackle use, set-up/take-down, maintenance, and basic knot tying.
