Casting Practice Game

Bored at home because you can’t go fishing? Don’t let social isolation take a hit on your cast! Give this fun fly casting game a try!

Equipment:

·      3 markers (we used some old Tupperware but anything that you can easily see from a little distance will work)

·      Masking tape

·      Pen and paper

·      Fly rod rigged with your favorite reel and line

·      Rod case

·      Fly WITHOUT the hook

Set Up:

1.     Mark your 3 markers 1, 2 and 3

2.     Using masking tape, put an ‘X’ to show where you will be casting from.  (Make sure you have plenty of space)

3.     Set the 3 markers at various distances and angles

How to play:

·      Stand on the X, 1 player at a time

·      Each player gets 3 casts per turn.  (False casting is allowed but if the fly touches the ground it stays down – this is practice after all)

·      If the fly lands within a rod case length of the marker, that player earns the points associated with that marker.

·      GRAND SLAM = hits all 3 markers in 1 turn, earns 6 points plus 1 bonus point (and bragging rights)

·      First player to 20 points wins

·      Overtime = Sudden Death, shoot for the 1 pointer first, then 2, then 3

·      Winner resets the markers for the next game
