Linecasters Advanced Academy ...

The ADVANCED ACADEMY is based in RHODES and has specifically been established to assist advanced fly fishermen in the finer aspects of the sport.  Attention is placed on specific casting techniques as well as advanced tutoring on entomology and fly tying.  Participants spend more time on-stream receiving practical tutoring on UPSTREAM DRY FLY FISHING and NYMPHING.  We also present beneficial slide and video footage.  PowerPoint presentations will be given on entomology, reading water, the approach, presentation and mistakes in presentation.  This course is well suited for up and coming guides as well as fly fishermen requiring advanced information before venturing to exotic destinations such as Argentina, New Zealand and European fly fishing waters.

Course contents

The Advanced Academy is designed to blend the practical and theoretical aspects of the course enabling participants to take what they’ve learnt on the ‘blackboard’ and apply it on-stream.

Accommodation and Meals

Linecasters accommodates participants in comfortable cottages in the village of Rhodes.  Meals are booked by us at the various local restaurants.  Lunches and tea’s are served at the academy venue or on-stream, depending on where we are at each day.

Camera, hat, sunblock, jacket or polar fleece top, technical quick drying pants and shirts, wading boots / waders, neoprene socks and gravel guards, flyback or vest, net, Polaroid’s and a water bottle.
