Nathaniel started the Linville Casting Academy after 20 years of teaching students, and he has compiled these decades of experience into a simple, effective set of modules that you can interact with. You can watch as many or as few as you want, and they have been divided into an easily searchable categories. On your way to a destination, or during a trip, you can easily navigate through the teaching modules to troubleshoot after a day on the water, or at home on your time away from the water you can review some casting videos to help you succeed on your upcoming trip.

We also have options for those among you that want more: we can assess and coach with submitted videos. As always, we also offer in-person and online private casting instruction like we have for the last 20 years.
