Your Instructor


Len Zickler is a Federation of Fly Fishers (FFF) certified casting instructor and Director of Education for the Washington State Council of the FFF. Len is also chair of the Northwest Fly Casting EXPO for the Washington Council of the FFF - an event an event his team won in 2002.

Fishing since he could walk, Len cast his first fly 20 years ago, and has focused his love for service to Jesus Christ and his passion for fly-fishing with the formation of the Columbia Fly Casting School (CFCS). The school is designed to provide basic fly fishing instruction in an environment that will bless the student and glorifies our Lord and his creations.

Len has been a student of some of the best fly casters in the country, having taken instruction from Mel Kreiger, Macauley Lord, Berris Samples, Tom Jindra, Don Simonson, and Tony and Marilyn Vitale. Len's instruction blends techniques and tips he has learned from his casting mentors. Len's instruction focuses on what he describes as "the four essential elements of effective fly casting" - the substance of our sport.

Len has designed a series of classes to address the needs of beginners to advanced fly fishermen. The main objective of the introductory classes is to give the student the skills necessary to experience fly fishing success - in other words to catch trout! The ability to catch trout independently, with minimal help from others, is the primary object of these classes.

For the intermediate to advanced fly fisherman, Len will tailor his instruction to the individual needs of the student.
