Improve your fly casting

Fly fisherman and casting instructor in Boone, Iowa

In the early 1990’s, I began fly fishing for panfish and bass in Central Iowa, then chasing trout in the Driftless and throughout the U.S.

I became Central Iowa’s only Fly Fishers International (FFI) Certified Casting Instructor in 2022.

Introducing Education on the Line

Cast and learn from anywhere.

I’ve teamed up with Kalyn Hoggard (FFI CI) to help casters and fly fishers around the country improve their casting. Through video recording and online consultation, we’ll help you master the fundamentals of casting, as well as overcome the inevitable obstacles you face on your casting journey.
