DCI Michael Bantam Open House at Cabelas

Michael demonstrating Fly Casting

Thank you all for attending our Open House. We really enjoyed visiting with you about your interest in Fly Fishing and Casting. We had over 100 people come by to cast on the pond and ask questions. Many beginning fly fishers cast a rod for the first time and will be attending their first class very soon.

We were happy to help those who have had some fly fishing experience by correcting some problems they were having in their casting style, it always comes back to substance, and technique, which we cover in more detail in our Intermediate classes. And good luck to several of you casters in the upcoming tournament, hope we helped you figure out that curve cast and single hual. We want to thank Cabela’s for the opportunity, and supporting of our Open House.

Women Fly Fishers of Idaho Follow Up

In April Michael had a fantastic time joining the Women Fly Fishers of Idaho for a workshop where he was able to demonstrate Spey Rod techniques. Here are a few photos from the day and some great feedback!

“Michael Bantam brings a highly skilled knowledge of what he loves to do, fly-fish! Michael’s professionalism with not only the know-how but the true meaning of why we love to fish. He demonstrated a genre of techniques at our WFFI general meeting with the spey rod program. Michael also gave 110% of excellence on the basic fly fishing instruction during the WFFI Annual Beginners Spring Workshop and VA Healing Waters Project. We really enjoy his true love of the sport and the people he instructs. The WFFI group looks forward to having him visit again soon!”
