FLY FISHING CLASS

Capt. Rick Grassett, a certified casting instructor and longtime Sarasota Bay guide, teaches this Orvis-endorsed fly fishing school out of CB's Saltwater Outfitters on Siesta Key. The half-day class is aimed at beginning and intermediate casters and concentrates on fundamentals: the basic casting stroke, diagnosing and correcting faults, then the saltwater particulars of leader construction and fly selection. Tackle and a workbook are supplied, so students need not own a rod. Those who want to test the lesson on the water can book an instructional guided trip separately.
