RMFTU Casting Competition
Saturday, October 7th, Fossil Creek Park at 6:00 PM
RMFTU Flycasters, Spincasters, and Baitcasters,
RMFTU will hold its first Casting Competition on Saturday, Oct 7th, from 1-4 pm, at our casting location at Fossil Creek Park Oval Pavilion 5821 S Lemay Ave., Fort Collins. We hope you can join in on the fun!
We’ll have a registration table so you can sign-up on the spot. No need to register ahead of time, but please email Mark Miller to let us know that you’ll be there.
Bring your own rods, but we will also have a few extra rods for kids who would like to take a lesson or try to catch a bass. Everyone should also bring your own folding chairs, water and any snacks you might want.
There will be three areas to compete in:
Dry Fly Accuracy
Dry Fly Distance - On Land
3/8 oz Accuracy - Spinning or Bait Casting Reels
Most of us, like myself (Mark Miller), are not great casters, but I will still be there to join in on the fun and improve our casting in the process. So please don’t feel like you have to be a superb caster to join in.
If you're not interested in the competition, we will also offer casting lessons, for both kids and adults. If you know someone who would like to try it, please invite them also. They don’t have to be members to participate.
The oval is a huge expanse of grass, so perfect if the young ones want to kick a soccer ball or play catch while Mom and Dad are casting. This will be fun for the entire family. It’s a big pond, and fishing for small bass is also available for everyone.
This is an effort to organize a fun event for all of our chapter members, and your friends, so we hope you can participate. Join us, meet new chapter members, and have a fun afternoon with Rocky Mountain Flycasters.
