The Pasadena Casting Club

The Pasadena Casting Club The Pasadena Casting Club (PCC) is a group of enthusiasts dedicated to fly fishing and casting. Casting pool is always open, as it is a Pasadena park.

The Pasadena Casting Club (PCC) is a group of fly fishing enthusiasts dedicated to fly fishing, fly casting, fly tying, and all things related to the sport. When like-minded men and women gather, fly fishing can be the catalyst for camaraderie which forms life-long friendships. A nonprofit organization founded in 1947, we have our own clubhouse and casting pool in Pasadena’s beautiful Lower Arroyo

Seco Park, which is a central gathering spot for the 250+ club members. One of the oldest and finest in the country, the Club has historical significance in the sport; some members have been internationally recognized for notable contributions over the decades. We are a volunteer organization, with all tasks done by dedicated members. We especially encourage families and children to join and to participate in Club activities. The clubhouse is open every Sunday from 1 to 5 PM, and has fly rods available for practice at no charge.

More moments from a special day with the cast and crew of Paramount+ The Madison. 🎣

Last week, the Pasadena Casting Club had the pleasure of hosting an introduction to fly fishing experience for the talented cast and crew behind The Madison.

From learning the fundamentals of fly casting, tying flies and knots, to sharing stories and laughter on the casting ponds and at the clubhouse, it was a wonderful opportunity to introduce the art of fly fishing to a new group of outdoor enthusiasts.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the day so memorable. We’re excited to share a few more highlights from this incredible experience.
