SWITCH ROD CASTING CLASS

Rocky Mountain Adventures is now offering a Switch Rod Casting Class. Trout friendly switch rods are gaining in popularity with Colorado Anglers especially on such rivers as the Cache la Poudre and the Upper Colorado.  Switch rods can be fished with one or two hands. Switch rods are normally 11 to 10 ½ feet in length and can be found in weights all the way down to 3/4. Switch rods allow the angler to easily cast copious amounts of line or high stick that out of reach pocket during high water. The students in our switch rod class will learn the essential spey casts such as the snake roll, snap-t and the double spey. Our students will also learn how these multi-faceted angling tools can be used to pursue trout in our own backyard.

BEGINNER FLY CASTING CLASS

This class is where it all begins. Learn to cast properly and you have just increased the likelihood that you will consistently catch fish. During the class you will learn the straight-line cast, reach cast and roll cast. If time allows and your skills are coming along, we will teach you the basics of the double haul. We supply the equipment but, if you have a rod, bring it along as there is nothing nicer than learning to use your own equipment.

Also, you will learn the high stick and the essential dead drift techniques along with how to recognize takes, properly set your hook and how to play and land fish. This class will emphasize how to read water and improve your wading skills. This class is very informative and fun so come prepared to spend lots of time on the water to learn and refine your skills.
