Casting Pond – A 50-foot casting pond provides the ideal place to try out one of the many new rods and reels on display with manufacturers and retailers, or to learn how to fly cast. Instructors will teach the basics of fly casting geared to novice anglers, regardless of age. Each day will come with seminars by experienced fly casters on varied techniques.
