Fly Fishing Line
Care and Maintenance It is important to keep your fly fishing lines clean and in good condition. Your fly-line should be cleaned after every 3-5 usages or when you've fished particularly muddy, dirty, weedy or mossy water. Also a few other reasons fly-line should be cleaned are Exposure to heat (storage in a hot car), solvents found in insect repellents, sun screens, and some fly line floatants. Cleaning your line will reduce friction in the guides, reduce tangling, improve floatation, and extend the life of the line. When cleaning your fly-lines take the time to inspect them closely for defects like cracks. If the line is damaged now is the time to replace it. There are a number of products on the market to clean fly-line, Scientific Anglers, Cortland, and Rio cleaner/dresser to name a few. Liquid line cleaner/dressers, especially those provided by the manufacture are best and won’t harm the line’s finish. Avoid using cleaners that are not designed expressly for fly lines. If you clean your line often your line will have a dry slick finish (this is good). The important thing is to keep your line clean and inspect it often, as this will allow better performance and considerably longer life. From the boys @ Galilee Fly & Tackle |

FLY CASTING LESSONS We hear it all the time, "I wish I could cast farther" or "I keep getting all these wind knots in my line, why is that?" So many fly anglers, if not most, are either self taught casters or coached by friends wanting them to get into the sport. This is great, because now you are in the sport and wanting to get better. Most anglers reach several plateaus in their life of fly casting and at every one of them exists a fork in the road, one path leads to becoming a better caster while the other leads to bad habits and will inhibit your casting even more down the road. Unfortunately many take the latter of the two and continue to struggle for years.
No matter what level caster you are, there is always something you can learn or do better. Spending time with an instructor for a hour every few months or even once a year is highly recommended to keep from making a wrong turn.
Casting is the most used tool in fly fishing and the more proficient you are, the more you will enjoy your time on the water. So dust off your fly rod and reel 'cause this is the year you finally take a lesson you've been putting off for so long. Our lessons are affordable, convenient and you get quality teaching instruction with a 4 student maximum.
Each lesson is 1 hour and you may either bring your own fly rod or we will supply a setup for you. Payment must be made in full on booking date. (Cancellations will be redated 1 time at our convenience)
Cost: $50.00 per. hour for up to 2 people …. $25.00 per additional person up to a max. of 4 persons. Please call today to book your lesson. |
