Instruction

Our instruction philosophy may differ from what most anglers have been familiar with. We strive not only to explain how the cast works, but also why the cast works. To explain not only how to present the fly, but why that presentation is desirable and effective.

Join CF Burkheimer Pro Staff members for on the water instruction covering a wide variety of different casting and fishing styles, and a broad range of skill levels. Our goal is to make you a more effective angler, while allowing you to more thoroughly enjoy your time on the water.
