Fly-Fishing Distance and Accuracy Techniques

ACTIVITY

We'll show you advanced-casting techniques that will add range to your casts so your fly reaches the fish, wherever they are. An excellent way to prepare for your big fishing trip, this half-day course will improve your existing fishing skills. We'll help you increase your accuracy and delicacy when trout fishing or distance while fishing saltwater species. You'll learn and practice double hauling, slack-line casting and distance casting as well as how to successfully cast in crosswinds and headwinds.

Our expert instructors will also share helpful tips and crucial insights on the best casting practice that they've acquired over years of fishing.

All necessary fly-casting equipment is provided.

Additional Information

What to Bring
- Weather-appropriate clothing (preferably synthetic*)
- Activity appropriate, closed-toed shoes
- Personal prescriptions such as EpiPen or inhaler
- One quart of water (no glass bottles)

*Synthetic clothing dries quickly and is the best choice for outdoor pursuits. Please do not wear cotton clothing. When wet, cotton rapidly robs the heat from your body and takes a long time to dry. We also recommend you dress in multiple layers, allowing you more flexibility to comfortably respond to the weather conditions and your level of exertion.
Optional Items to Bring

- Camera
- Non-heirloom rods, reels and lines†
†Please call ahead if you plan to use your own equipment as it must pass inspection by L.L.Bean staff before use. If it's deemed unsuitable, we will provide you with the necessary equipment.

Alcohol Policy

In general, alcohol consumption is not permitted during L.L.Bean Outdoor Discovery Programs events for the safety of all participants. However, alcoholic beverages are allowed on overnight trips and may only be consumed in a responsible way after the day’s activities are finished. If participants consume alcohol to excess in the evening and behave in ways that negatively impact their own safety, that of the group or the natural environment around them, our guides will intervene. We hope that we will never have to remove an offending guest from the remainder of a trip to ensure the group’s safety, but we will do so if necessary.
Minimum Age: 12 (14 & under with parent/guardian)

Participants must be 12 years old by the start of the trip, course, or tour; a parent or guardian must participate with anyone 14 years old and younger.

If L.L.Bean cancels your event, you will receive a full refund for the cost of your reservation. All refunds will be in the form of the original transaction. L.L.Bean shall not be responsible or liable for other expenses incurred by the participant as a result of such a cancellation.
