A cast that finally makes sense.

Casting lessons are done locally in Benalla. They're great for beginners and intermediates who are not sure about their casting, whether you've never picked up a fly rod or you've been fishing for years and want to fix a habit.

A good cast is the foundation of everything else on the river. It puts the fly where the trout are, keeps it drifting naturally and stops a day turning into a tangle. Most people leave with a cast that finally makes sense.
