Chris Korich, World Casting Champion and U.S. Team Coach, along with fellow volunteer instructors from GGACC, are helping prepare Bay Area kids (ages 8-12) for future fly fishing opportunities!

FUN youth casting sessions will emphasize the following foundational fly fishing skills, fish conservation and safety information:

Grip & Stance Alignment (at targets!)

Roll Casting

Pick Up & Lay-Down casts

Line Extending & Retrieving

Fish hooking, fighting, & releasing
