I spent many years teaching youth groups and clubs, which served as a foundation for my certified instructor skills. There are limitless young people who would love to receive free casting instruction. Within five minutes, testing officials will determine if a candidate has experience in teaching. As you begin teaching, seek to explain casting methodology in the briefest fashion. Demonstrate with a rod and also in pantomime your cast or casting error.
Many people learn quickly from visual instruction.
Make sure that your students are also learning the feel of proper casting. This can even require that you hold the student's hand and make the cast with them. Certification testing is held at various sites around the country, especially during flyfishing shows and conclaves. Candidates are required to be current members of the Federation of Fly Fishers as well. Becoming a certified casting instructor is not a goal for everyone, but the program is challenging and produces some of America's best casters.
