About Us

The FFF instructors program is the benchmark for instructional fly casting in the United States. It is our express purpose to provide all those interested with the instructional information they may need to pursue both levels of certification whether it be as a CI (Certified Instructor) or MA ( Master Certified Instructor).

We are not trying to reinvent the wheel. We will be working from an established knowledge base accumulated over the years by those who have contributed tremendously to our understanding of how the cast works and how to be more effective in communicating that to you, as a potential instructor at both the CI and MA levels, and more importantly, how to communicate that to your students.

Consider this site to be your home, and as such, a work in progress. The overall layout of the site will encompass many levels. Keep in mind this site is geared to those wishing to become certified casting instructors for FFF. With that in mind, discussions of all teaching methods and descriptions of casting mechanics from the currently published to the not so currently published will be addressed at length. There but through the knowledge an experience of others comes the more informed casting instructor.

What everyone brings to the site individually will enhance our collective endeavor to become more informed instructors so that others may benefit form our collective knowledge base.
