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.
