Open Casting Sessions
Redding Convention Center, South Lawn

Guy Manning, FFF Master Certified Casting Instructor, and Steve Crosetti, FFF Certified Casting Instructor, will be holding Open Casting Sessions on the lawn just south of the Redding Convention Center (in the Turtle Bay area).

Open casting is an opportunity to get more practice or work on individual casting issues with professional level individual instruction.

Bring a rod, with a reel and line. Add a 9 foot leader in 3X or 4X size (The Fly Shop can set you up) and we will supply the fluff.

There is no charge for the open casting. If you have questions, please call Guy Manning at 351-5485.
