Fly Fishing Classes:

 

INTRODUCTION TO FLY FISHING AND CASTING CLASS
COST: $79

The purpose of this introductory course is to provide a beginner's most basic look at the world of fly fishing. This class is for the "never ever", and is not as indepth a class as Beginning Stream Fly Fishing. It is a 2-part class, beginning with a 2-2 1/2 hour meeting on a weekday evening to learn:

  • Equipment, including: rod, reel, fly line, tippet, leader, and fly choice
  • Essential knots, including: nail, blood, double surgeons, clinch and improved clinch
  • Setup and fishing of the 2-fly rig

Part two is a hands-on casting clinic held outdoors on the following Saturday morning. All equipment will be provided for you, and we will cover:

  • Pick-up and lay-down
  • Line shooting
  • Roll casting
  • Single and double haul

Graduates of this class will be equipped to set up their rod and reels with the correct combination of line, leader, tippet and flies for fishing most conditions, and will learn the fundamentals of casting.

BEGINNING STREAM FLY FISHING
COST: $149

Beginning Stream Fly Fishing is a highly detailed beginning approach to fly fishing. We will delve much more deeply in to technique, terminology, equipment and general practices for stream fly fishing success. This is a beginner's course; however, it is an excellent course for the struggling intermediate as well. This course will help to open the world of stream fly fishing, and make it much easier to get set up, cast, and land your first trout!

This class covers the same territory as Intro to Fly Fishing. The first part of the class is 2 hours in the classroom, the rest of the time will be spent on and on-the-water instruction.

Minimum # students: 2
Maximum # students: 4

PRIVATE LESSON
COST: $150 - Introduction/$250 - Beginning Stream

This is a private class with the same curriculum as the class outlined above, but you get to set the dates and times, plus you get one-on-one attention! The structure of the class is 2 hours in classroom, and 5 hours on the river. This is by far the best way to learn how to fly fish.
