EFFA Double Hand Instructor Certification Programme

 

Welcome fly fishers!

 

It has taken us some time to develop the EFFA Double Hand Instructor Certification Program but now we are happy to present it to public. Thanks to the committee which consists of many of today`s best known fly casters in Europe we can present a program that will hopefully please the fly fishing community and will motivate many double hand fly casters around the world to become Certified EFFA Double Hand Instructors.

 

The EFFA Double Hand Instructor Certification Programme is devided into two parts. You can either try to become an EFFA Double Hand Instructor for Long Lines („Spey“) or an EFFA Double Hand Instuctor specialized in the Underhand Technique. So everyone can go for the EFFA Double Hand Instructor Certificate with the tackle he uses at home and his preferred technique. Of course it is absolutely essential and part of each of the both programmes to have substantial knowledge about the technique and principles of the other programme, too.

 

The term Long Line Technique was chosen because of the problems and misunderstandings that came up especially during the last decade by mixing the term and fly casting principles of the Classic Spey Technique and what is called Spey Casting today.  In our opinion the term Long Line Technique describes today`s hybrid techniques which are used with long lines much better.

 

The questions in the theoretical part are not complete. Our examiners can of course ask additional questions to make sure that the future instructor knows his business really well.
