Fly Casting Skills Development

What is the Fly Casting Skills Development Program?

Fly Casting Skills Development (FCSD) is a fun way to improve casting skills for all fly fishers in a self-paced fashion. FCSD is an expanded and redesigned version of the Fly Casting Skills Challenge.  There are now four levels from beginner to advanced: Foundation, Bronze, Silver and Gold. Below facilitators and anglers will find the links to all the information needed for achieving and confirming achievement at each level. The casting videos found in the Fly Casting Video Library teach many of the skills required to advance through the FCSD.  Anglers wishing to find facilitators and casting help may go to Find a Casting Instructor.
