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 Iowa’s only Fly Fishers International (FFI) Master Casting Instructor(MCI) in 2025.
Introducing Education on the Line
Cast and learn from anywhere.
Kalyn Hoggard(FFI CI), member Team USA, and I have teamed up 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.
