Callie Freeman — Fly Casting Instructor
Prepare for the Cast. Prepare for the Adventure.
The best fishing trips often come down to a handful of opportunities—and being ready when they happen.
At Hares Ear Fly Fishing, we don’t offer formal casting instruction. Instead, we’ve chosen to partner with Callie Freeman, a trusted fly casting instructor who helps anglers prepare for the fishing experiences ahead.
From preparing for a day chasing wild trout in the Southern Appalachians to getting ready for a once-in-a-lifetime trip halfway around the world, Callie helps anglers develop the confidence and casting skills needed to make the most of their time on the water.
Casting Instruction Built Around Fishing
Casting isn’t about making a perfect loop in a parking lot. It’s about being able to make the cast when the fish gives you the opportunity.
Callie focuses on practical, fishing-oriented instruction designed to improve accuracy, presentation, distance, line control, and confidence.
Whether you’re a beginning fly angler learning the fundamentals or an experienced fisherman preparing for a demanding destination, instruction can be tailored around your goals and the type of fishing you’re preparing to experience.
Prepare for Your Hares Ear Experience
A guided fly-fishing trip is an investment in an experience—and preparation can make that experience even better.
If you’re planning a trip with Hares Ear Fly Fishing and want to sharpen your casting beforehand, we highly recommend working with Callie.
Arriving with confidence in your cast allows you to spend less time thinking about your mechanics and more time watching the water, reading the fish, and enjoying the experience.
From the Southern Appalachians to the World
Hares Ear clients fish for trout, smallmouth, stripers, and other species throughout the Southeast and beyond. Many anglers also travel with us or independently pursue fly-fishing adventures around the world.
Different fisheries demand different casts.
Wind, distance, tight quarters, technical presentations, larger flies, sinking lines, and fast-moving fish can all change the game. Preparing for those situations before you arrive can be the difference between simply seeing an opportunity and being ready to take it.
Callie can help you prepare for the specific challenges of the water you’re about to fish.
A Better Way to Prepare
We believe the best guides, instructors, and outfitters all have one thing in common: they want you to succeed.
That’s why Hares Ear Fly Fishing trusts Callie Freeman to help our clients become better prepared anglers before they arrive at the river, step onto the boat, or board a plane for their next adventure.
Prepare your cast. Build your confidence. Then go chase the fish.
