^{A2. What will we do during the weekend?}

Classes can vary from about 15 to 20 with no more than five students casting with an instructor.

Not really, the Miami Fly Shop and our instructors have state of the art rods for casting and all the training aids you will need. If you have a 7, 8 or 9 weight outfit you want to bring that's fine too and it will help you learn how to better use your own equipment.

Fly casting consists of making repetitive strokes, developing muscle memory and using your eye hand coordination. Anglers have varying learning curves, but if you can hit a tennis ball or swing a golf club you can fly cast.

Yes, but you may encounter a lot of frustrations and additional expenses. Learning to false cast could be compared to hitting a golf ball. You would first learn to swing on the driving range before actually playing the game. When you are in a boat there are many distractions to compete with your focus on learning the actual casting stroke. Many guides are fantastic casters but teaching is another thing altogether and our instructors are among the finest and are very experienced. After a weekend at the Fisher Island Saltwater Fly Fishing School you will be fly casting or will have greatly improved your existing casting skills. You will also have a very good idea how to continue to improve and maximize your enjoyment of the sport, which is most important in order to continue to advance and enjoy Saltwater Fly Fishing.

The cost for the two-day Introduction to Saltwater Fly Fishing School is $750 per person, which includes two evening receptions with the instructors, all instruction and classes during two full days of school, the use of equipment for casting and all training aids, continental breakfasts and lunches on school days.

There is no fishing during the school, but we can put you in contact with local guides that are available after the school. Guide fees range from $550.00 to $600.00 per day and we suggest you request a guide list when you register for the school. You must coordinate your own guide.

Yes, guest attending with members are allowed as long as they don't bump a Member from attending. If there is sufficient interest other Saltwater Fly Fishing School(s) can be scheduled.
