This course is a fly casting course only, which is aligned with the demands for the Instructor/ Master Instructor  test of the European Fly Fishing Association (EFFA). It is only for very advanced fly casters who are in good physical condition or at least good enough to be able to manage to  fly cast for 5-6 hours per day in a very concentrated manner. The course can also be attended by advanced fly casters(double haul as a minimum requirement) who want to improve or make their fly casting technique more perfect.

On the list of the participants of my preparation courses you will find many of the best European fly casting instructors of our time. It reads like the Who is Who of the new generation of fly casting instructors? They all now spread the modern way of fly casting which they got to know at my courses  among the fly fishing world and they are a guarantee for the future development of European fly fishing.

The probably highest standard of teaching you can get, based on my ability to analyse, recognize and remove existing casting errors within the shortest time possible, is not a guarantee but the best possible basis for finally passing world's toughest and most sought after fly casting instructor exam and become a Certified EFFA Fly Casting Instructor. That's why my clients come from all over the world and sometimes drive or fly long distances to be able to take the chance to participate in one of these courses.

The fly fishers listed below have participated in at least one of my Flycasting Instructor Preparation Courses of the UFC Fly Fishing School or have at least got the final "polish" before attending the exam. Meanwhile they are EFFA instructors(former FFF-Europe instructors - not to mix up with the much easier FFF), some of them are even EFFA Master Instructors now.
