Fly-Fishing Instruction Dover, NH: It's Never too Late!
We are all aware of the expression, "it's never too late." This post is about the energy centered on this thought/expression.
Meet Richard, an advance beginner, age 71, living in the great state of Maine. Officially, Richard is the oldest fly-casting client I have ever had. He's self-employed, still happily working five days per week, and very much wants to bring his fly-casting skills to the next level -- you gotta love his energy!
Since Richard is an advance beginner, having taken lessons and fished on his own, I structured the class to meet his specific needs. In the end, I combined my 1X and 2X casting classes. This gave Richard an opportunity to cast on land and in the water.
Why Work with a Certified Casting Instructor?
Within seconds I could tell what Richards casting strengths and weaknesses were. He seemed shocked that it only took seconds for me to diagnose his casting stroke -- that's why you work with a certified casting instructor, especially an instructor who has real world experience. Here's what Richard's problems were:
How to Fix?
Sorry folks, you'll have to come to my class to learn the many tricks I have to quickly correct casting issues. Here's my guaranty:
Gratitude
I sincerely appreciate the opportunity to teach as the money I earn goes directly towards my graduate school fund. As of August 2016, I am an online graduate student at Adams State University (it's never too late to pursue your dreams). When I finish the program, I will have a master's degree in clinical mental health counseling. With the combination of my education, skills, and life experiences; my goal, whether on or off the water, is to help you be a better you -- a better person and fly-fisherman.
Many Thanks.
Mark

Here's what Richard's problems were:
- Rod Tip Path: the tip of his rod was not consistently traveling in a straight line.
- Wrist Roll: he did not know that he was rolling his wrist during the casting stroke.
How to Fix?
Sorry folks, you'll have to come to my class to learn the many tricks I have to quickly correct casting issues. Here's my guaranty:
- I will teach you how you can self-correct 99% of all casting issues. In other words, like a medical doctor, I will prescribe a set of specific drills-n-skills that will help you correct your issues -- that's what great instructor do.
- Just remember, it's never too late to learn! If you practice and re-train the body, you will get great results.

| Perfect Form! The 1X class is 100% on-land and according to my students, one of the best educational experiences of their lives. |
 |
| The 2X class is taught in water. In water, we have the chance to follow-up on 1X fundamentals, but more importantly, we can take what you learned on-land to the next level. For example: I had him roll-casting open, medium and tight loops, with both hands. We then moved to the roll pick-up cast and he was all smiles, from ear to ear. |
