I visited my son during CSU homecoming weekend. My son and I signed up for the intro 1X on-land casting class with Mark. We have taken classes with other instructors; however, Mark's clinic was by far the most informative and enjoyable. Mark is incredibly knowledgeable and makes learning fun. We are definitely looking forward to the next class.
Great experience!

I took a casting class with Mark. He did an excellent job. I had taken basic fly fishing classes before and knew some simple casts. I used these casts on the river, but I knew I wasn't doing them correctly. Mark set up a course for me and corrected my problems, plus he gave me exercises to do. I'm doing much better now on the river thanks to Mark.

10 stars for First Cast and Andrew! Simply the best guide, friendly, knowledgeable, and so helpful to this old broad! His patience and sense of humor made for an even better experience. And we caught 9 trout! Pretty good for a first timer.

Welcome to the 2024/25 Colorado Fly Fishing Season
If you ain't dragging - you ain't bragging
It's spring in Colorado - high elevation snow, low elevation rain, and warmer temps = RUNOFF. In most Colorado rivers, runoff creates challenging fishing conditions for anglers. What's the very best way to catch fish during runoff? Options: A) Fish ponds and lakes, or B) Learn how to deep water nymph fish.
Want to learn how to drag nymphs and catch tons of fish - in any condition?

Gustavo (Gus) was an amazing guide for our Dorado trip in April in Buenos Aires. He picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel, and gave us a full 12 hours on the water at an incredibly reasonable price. For anyone looking to fish out of Buenos Aires for a day, I highly recommend First Cast. Gus was professional, friendly, knowledgeable and a joy to be with. The website is dead on with its description of Gus and his local knowledge. Hearing his stories of Patagonia fly fishing and upriver la ..read more

Our time with Gus got off to a great start - we rented an Airbnb which ended up being just a few houses from his in Junin!
It's hard to capture all the benefits of fishing with Gus for 2 days but here are a few of the highlights:
- He provided great instruction in casting which we both needed
- He knew the places along the river each day which were the best place to locate fish
- He frequently got out of the boat in the shallows to hold us in place as we casted and also to net the fish ..read more

That was really a terrific experience. I liked how genuine the fishing was - just as if you lived there. Gus is the real deal BTW. I have nothing but good things to say.
Thanks for putting up with my many questions throughout the process.
At some juncture I’d like to make something like it happen again so it may not be the last you hear from me.

So grateful for the time I spent with Sean. I sent in for a rather last minute trip, Mark quickly connected me with Sean who worked with my schedule. He helped me gain knowledge for reading the river and he shared his expertise. Throughout our time together, he helped me with perfecting my cast, mending the line, and setting the hook for consistently landing fish. I walked away fulfilled with gratitude, a new connection, and confidence.
