Save the Date! April 5, 2025
The Sea Island Fly Fishers is pleased to announce that registration is now open for this year’s Casting Clinic. We are again fortunate to have the program led by Capt. Shannon O’Quinn, a Fly Fishers International (FFI) Certified Fly Casting Instructor and an accomplished fishing guide. Expert casters Neil Neidhardt, Dave Murray, and Greg Hamilton will join Shannon in instructing the group. The clinic will be a one day event starting at 9:00 AM on Saturday, April 6th, and will be held on the John Paul II Catholic School grounds, 4211 N. Okatie Hwy, Ridgeland, SC. A barbecue lunch, artfully prepared by John Mathews, will be provided at mid-day. Advance registration is required and a $65 contribution will be requested to help defray the costs of the event. The cut-off date for registration is April 3rd.
Gates will be open at 8:30 AM, so please bring your rod and reel for saltwater (7wt-9wt), including a saltwater leader and arrive early enough to have your equipment ready by the 9:00 AM starting time. If you are not so equipped, please let us know and we will make every effort to have equipment on hand.
The clinic will include instruction in practical fishing casts and techniques. Advanced casting will focus on the double-haul and distance casting. This clinic is open to all active members from absolute beginner to expert.
