Welkom bij Reportagefotografie Rudy van Duijnhoven.

Rudy van Duijnhoven is also active as an instructor for the First Dutch Fly Fishing School (Eerste Nederlandse Vliegvisschool), an initiative of the Federation of Dutch Fly Fishers. In the last few years, newcomers have during four Saturdays received education in casting and fishing with a fly rod, tying flies, entomology, etiquette along the waterside, different species of fish that can be fished for, etc.
For small groups of five or six persons Rudy can also present a workshop of one day concerning fly casting for the beginner or advanced fly fisherman. Until now these workshops were organised mainly for members of the Dutch Federation of Fly Fishers, but other interested people can take up contact too.
The program for such a workshop could look like this:

9.00 hours Meeting each other with coffee

9.30 hours Introduction into the basic overhead cast after which this can be practised by the beginners and advanced casters.

11.00 hours Coffee and tea

11.15 hours Beginners will start to practise the roll cast, advanced casters the roll cast in combination with a single haul, which will lead to the distance roll cast.

12.30 hours Lunch

13.15 hours Back to the overhead cast, advanced fly casters will practise the double haul now.

14.00 hours Practising side casting and backhand casting.

15.00 hours Coffee and tea.

15.15 hours Other casts that can be practised: reach cast, parachute cast, mending the line in the air.

16.30 hours Practising of casting a shootinghead

17.00 hours The end

On numerous national and international fishing shows Rudy van Duijnhoven has given demonstrations and lectures in fly casting. As a member of the Board of Governors of the European Fly Fishing Association (EFFA), Rudy will, together with Sepp Fuchs, Jupp Verstraten, Günter Feuerstein and others, examine people that want to do the exams for the EFFA Fly Casting Instructor Program. People that do give instruction already for their fly fishing club for instance, can voluntary take part in this program and if they do pass the exam successfully, call themselves Basic F ly Casting Instructor or – one step higher – Master Fly Casting Instructor.
On the page with links you can find a reference to this program, which is set up to raise the level of fly casting instruction in Europe.
