Paul Arden (& Hirdy) Casting Clinics, Perth, Dec 2017

[Hirdy]

This is something not to be missed by Western Australian fly fishermen: Paul Arden and I are running a pair of casting clinics on 16th and 17th of December. Paul is well known as a world class casting instructor and distance casting champion. Paul owns and runs the SexyLoops web site and forum for casting nerds. His enthusiasm for all aspects of fly fishing is legendary and I feel honoured to be teaching alongside him in these two clinics.

On Saturday, we’re working on those skills employed most often by saltwater fly fishermen. Dealing with wind, distance casting, delivering large flies, lifting sunken flies, accuracy at distance, etc.

On Sunday, we’re working on the skills used most often by freshwater fishermen: accuracy, aerial mends, roll casting, curve casts, slack line deliveries and of course, SH Spey techniques. SH Spey skills are also very useful in saltwater fishing as change-of-direction casts and/or casting in the tight confines of a barra creek. Paul is showing off with SH Spey casting in that video above ...

Of course, it goes without saying that all casting skills are transferable between fresh- and salt- water fishing, so it's well worth attending both days if you can. (These topics are subject to change, but that’s the rough outline we have in mind at the moment.)

The cost will be $120 per clinic or $200 for those attending both days. Lunch is included. Places are limited to 12 per day.

Go on! Treat yourself to the best Christmas present a fly guy can own: mad casting skills!

Cheers,
Hirdy

Hi Hirdy

Book me in for both days please.

Regards

[Hirdy]

A little bump because there are only 4 places left for Sunday and 5 for Saturday. If you're considering coming, please contact me sooner rather than later because we won't be adding extra places.

(There's also one place available for the Port Hedland casting clinic I'm holding this weekend. If you're up that way and don't already know about it, consider yourself told. )

Cheers,
Graeme
