Testimonials

In 2016 I decided to become a casting inst ructor. It was suggested I contact a certain MCI (master caster instructor) - Leslie Holmes as a possible mentor in February '16. We spoke and were instantly on insulting terms and he took me on. The Irish and Icelanders tend to get on well. We had a weekend casting session in Boca Grande in April. Well, that was quite the eye-opener for me. I could cast some he gave me that, but my faults were many and varied and were mercilessly pointed out and corrected. After that, I returned home to practice, and we scheduled a tune-up and a test in late August. The goal was to become a certified fly-casting instructor (CCI). I passed the CCI test and now Leslie is in the process of teaching me to use the two-handed rod. Les is a very patient effective teacher whether it is for one-handed casting or two-handed casting. To my knowledge, he is the only one in Florida FFI certified to teach both one and two-handed casting. I have certainly benefitted from his teaching and recommend him warmly.Here is blog on that subject https://everyjonahhasawhale.com/cci-certified/getting-certified-ifff-cci/ Jonas Magnusson Lutz, Florida March 2021
Leslie Holmes is a consummate teacher. He combines profound knowledge and world-class casting skills with concise, personalized instruction. Leslie spent time understanding my goals and expectations and then showed me how I could exceed them. In two days of lessons, he helped me improve significantly as a fly caster, bolstered my confidence, and offered me pages of fundamental insights on the art of teaching fly casting. I cannot imagine a better mentor to see me through the Fly Fishers International (FFI) Casting Instructor (CI) certification process—and beyond. Leslie is a generous person, a true master, and an international treasure. If you want to be a better fly fisher or to prepare for any level of casting certification, make it a priority to spend some time with him. It is an experience beyond price, for which I will always be thankful.Rick Shelton Westover, Alabama July 2021
