Casting Lessons

Improve your fly casting with Lessons from a qualified casting instructor with Twig and Stream. Our casting lessons focus on working with you and your style; working on casts that help you catch fish. Come up and have a lesson before you head out for a fish !

In person casting lessons are currently held in near Buxton, Victoria.

Beginners:

It is recommended to start with a 90 minute lesson before picking up a rod and trying to learn to cast by yourself. It is very hard to undo self-taught bad habits.

The lesson starts with simplifying the very confusing looking and sounding gear. Next we move on to understanding the basic dynamics of casting, and how to cast this thick looking line without any apparent weight or sinker. The lesson involves practice and feedback from a qualified instructor.

Anything new takes time and practice, so the lesson leaves the student with some homework to takeaway, to help build on the lesson in their own time.

Dealing with Problem areas:

Initially an assessment is done of the your casting technique and identifies areas of focus for the lesson. We then work on specific drills tailored to your specific needs to strengthen fundamentals necessary for improving your cast. Typically these may be one or more of the following: line tension, rod plane, tip path, stroke length, and application of power. By the end of the lesson you should be able to recognise the issues in the casting stroke, and have some practice drills to take away to work on in your own time.
