Welcome

Welcome to the Long Beach Casting Club. If you like fly fishing, or want to learn more about fly fishing, you’re at the right place. Every year we offer classes in casting, rod building and fly tying. These classes are free to the public except for a modest cost for materials.

Founded in 1925, we are fortunate to have a lighted casting pond, a newly-renovated club house and one of the largest membership bases in California. Non-members are also welcome to attend our monthly meetings and enjoy the variety of speakers who enthusiastically share their knowledge and their experience.

  • LBCC has lost a legend, a teacher, a friend, a gentleman and a fine fisherman.  Milt Huber passed away on June 17.  He was 83.  A graduate of Northeastern University in Boston, he had a degree in mechanical engineering and worked at Hughes Aircraft for 35 years.  After retirement, he opened his own fly fishing shop which helped him in teaching rod building, fly tying and casting.  He helped countless students through the intricate steps of rod building and for years supplied fly tying materials for our beginning tying classes.  He was married to Patricia for 61 years.  A memorial service will be held on Sunday, July 26 at 2:00 pm at Rice Mortuary in Torrance.  More information is available at www.lafuneral.com
  • Looking ahead, the annual Brookie Bash Club Trip is July 17 – 19 and the pretrip is Wed, July 8. This is as close as you can get to a trip where you are guaranteed to catch something. Always fun, and the setting is magnificent. Join us.
  • The July speaker opens up a new fishery to the Club – Sand Diego Bay. Guide and ardent fisherman, Bob Day will come up and speak to us about the many possibilities, including bone fish! The date is July 30. A few days later (August 7 – 9) , the Club trip will be to Sand Diego. (The pretrip is July 29 and will be run by Joe Austin who can verify those bone fish catches.) If you want to know all about an exotic fishery just two hours away, join us for any or all of the San Diego-focused events.
