Slack line is a term used to describe a cast that enables your fly to drift in the water without being dragged by the current. To effectively fish in moving water it is essential to know how to imitate the drift of a natural insect by making a slack line cast. In this three hour class you will learn the necessary casting techniques for controlling where the slack line is placed on the water as well as the very useful reach mend. The class will take place on the grass with the opportunity to practice the casts on the Willowemoc, water level permitting. A5-6 weight rod with a double taper line of corresponding weight is preferred. If you don't have your own equipment it will be available at the museum on the day of the class. Knowledge of the basic cast is necessary for this class.
