OK, I have to admit it, my fly-casting is pathetic:frowning_face:. It was good enough for small flies on small streams out west, but I just can’t get a big saltwater fly through the wind. It’s time to face reality and get a lesson. Charleston Angler offers fly fishing classes but I am looking for some one on one instruction on casting. I plan on stopping by the shop to ask, but I thought I would post it here and see if anyone knew of anyone offering fly-casting instruction.
Thanks,
SeaLevelPete
Ill give ya a hand im no certified instructor but ive helped several ppl get it right.
Jeremy
That’s very generous of you Jeremy, thanks! I’d be happy to take you up on your offer and compensate you with your favorite libation or something. What did you have in mind? I’m in Mt. P.

Ya’ll have room for one more. I can’t seem to stop slapping the water with the heavier flies. Scares the b-jesus out of everything.
Im in Mount Pleasant as well. We can set up at a local pond or two that I have in mind.What are your days like I have alot of weekdays off. Travelin come on lets have some fun. Yall let me know.
I’m typically a M-F 9 to 6 worker. The sun is setting later, so we have more time in the evenings. We can probably work this out via email

I’m pretty open in my schedule, so just let me know a day in advance and I’ll make it. Thanks Jeremy for the help.
I would really liek to get in on this too and will bring cameras if y’all don’t mind…
Paddle faster boys… I hear banjo music!
Got room for 1 more?? Any days after 5 and Fri. after 12…</font id=“blue”>
Hey jeremy… while your teaching lessons maybe you can show them how to turn a 4pc rod into a 5pc… your good at that and its always a crowd pleaser.
Have fun

Jeremy,
I can meet up with you most of Saturday. If during the week works out better, it might be best if you throw out a couple of dates and times.
Thanks again,
SeaLevelPete

U just had to…
Yes i will admit I have always been a bit rough on my equipment but they do catch alot of fish:smiley: I was thinking about you when this post started and how we could possibly work out a time and place and have you and I both there seeing your the senior in all this matter. Let me know would be a big time im sure.
Jeremy
Haha … yeah, you can’t throw a slow pitch like that and not expect me to swing for the fence.
Yeah, yall let me know when yall are gonna get together and ill do my best to meet up, sounds like it would be fun.

I am in the same situation as a few of you. I’ve fished a 4 wt in the mountains some, but I’m reluctant to even touch my 8 wt out of fear of learning bad form. I y’all could recommend an “expert” for a good lesson or two, let me know- I would be willing to pay a little for the time.
The only “expert” in town is Capt. John Irwin… He is a certified casting instructor. He works through The Charleston Angler and does classes with us. You could also contact him personally and Im sure he would be willing to work somthing out in the way of lessons.
If you wan’t some help but don’t need an “expert” you can always swing by one of our shops in W.A or Mt. Pleasant and we would be glad to work with you free of charge. There are a few of us here who could help out getting you on the right track.

I knew the angler(s) did group lessons, but I didn’t know about all that. Thanks very much for the info Mike.
Y’all better jump on Mikes offer… I talked to him for about 30 minutes one day, never even touched a flyrod, just talked about casting and he helped me improve my casting 100%… Imagine what he can do if you actually had your rod there… Mike is Good peeps and I have not met a CA employee that wasn’t…
Paddle faster boys… I hear banjo music!
