Online Fly Casting Lessons — Live Video Instruction
World-class fly casting instruction with Christopher Rownes, FFI Master Casting Instructor — delivered live to your iPad or smartphone, wherever you are in the world.
Live video coaching knows no geographic boundaries. Wherever you live and wherever you fish, expert fly casting instruction is just a video call away.
How It Works — Simple Setup, Immediate Results
1. Contact Us to Schedule Your Lesson
Email to book your session and discuss your goals, current skill level, and the areas you'd most like to improve. This conversation helps Christopher tailor the lesson to your specific needs.
2. Choose Your Video Platform
Connect through FaceTime Teams, Facebook Messenger, Zoom, or another video platform that works on your device. All you need is a smartphone or iPad with a decent camera.
3. Find Your Casting Space
Choose an open area where you have room to cast. A backyard, park, parking lot, or grassy field will work well. Position your phone or tablet at an angle that allows Christopher to see your entire casting stroke clearly.
4. Cast, Get Feedback, and Improve
The session works much like an in-person lesson. You cast while Christopher observes, provides immediate feedback, and offers specific corrections. You make adjustments and cast again, putting his guidance into practice in real time. Many anglers notice meaningful improvements within the first 20 to 30 minutes.
5. Leave With a Personalized Practice Plan
Each session concludes with a clear, practical plan outlining what to work on between lessons. You'll know exactly what to practice so you can continue building your skills long after the video call ends.
Expert instruction. Personalized feedback. Better casting — wherever you are.
