When & Where: The day begins promptly at 9am, but coffee, fruit and muffins are ready by 8:30. We will meet in our fly shop for slide shows, knot tying, ...etc. Formal instruction is usually finished by 4pm, but remember you can practice casting till your heart’s content afterwards.

What to expect: Around half the day is spent outside, so be ready for weather and sun (bring sun screen, hat, sunglasses, & windbreaker if cool or windy). Top notch Orvis equipment is provided free of charge, but you are welcome to use your own equipment. We will serve a catered Bar-B-Que Lunch at the store. This is a great time to swap fish tales and plan outings.

Who: Our instructors are Phil and Debbie Chapman who bring with them over 40 years of fly fishing experience. They have taught our casting school for the last 5 years and are very knowledgeable about Florida Fishing. They are also the friendliest people you will ever meet. Phil is a biologist with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, and a USCG Captain and Tarpon Guide. Phil and Debbie currently or have previously held several World and State Records on salt water fish.

Registration: Reservation and Deposit are required. Class sizes are limited. Cost for the Full Day Fly Casting School is $125.
