2025 Casting Clinic

Scouting America Troop #1262 Casting Clinic

HCFF is looking for volunteers to help teach fly-casting skills to scouts from
Scouting America Troop #1262. This clinic is a fun, hands-on opportunity to give back,
introduce young people to fly fishing, and represent HCFF in the community.

Volunteers will work with small groups of scouts during the afternoon and early evening, helping them learn basic casting techniques in a relaxed, encouraging environment.

HCFF will provide all fly rods and equipment.

What to Expect

  • Demonstrate basic fly-casting fundamentals (no advanced instruction required)
  • Offer tips, encouragement, and positive feedback to young anglers
  • Rotate through small groups of scouts with other volunteers

No prior teaching experience is required. If you can cast a fly rod and enjoy working with kids, you’re qualified. This is a great opportunity for members of all skill levels to volunteer.

Check out photos from last year.

Casting for Recovery

Casting for Recovery

Casting for Recovery Volunteer Opportunity

Casting for Recovery is a nationally respected nonprofit that provides no-cost fly-fishing retreats for women affected by breast cancer.
These retreats combine outdoor recreation, peer support, and wellness programming in a welcoming and supportive environment.

This Utah retreat takes place over three days in September. We are specifically seeking female volunteers for Friday, September 11 to assist with the on-the-water fly-fishing activities.

Why female volunteers are essential: Friday is the primary fishing day, when participants work closely with instructors and helpers on the water. Female volunteers play an important role in creating a comfortable and encouraging atmosphere. Volunteers may help with basic casting, line management, movement along the shoreline or around watercraft, and general support throughout the day.

No advanced fly-fishing skills are required. If you are comfortable around the water, enjoy helping others, and would like to take part in a meaningful and rewarding experience, you are well qualified. Guidance and coordination will be provided on site.

This is a unique opportunity to give back, connect with an inspiring organization, and directly support women during a powerful and positive
outdoor experience.

The event coordinator will contact registered volunteers with specific details, timing, and expectations.
