The introduction to fly fishing school The introduction to fly fishing school is all-encompassing and good for first time and beginner fly fishers alike. Students will acquire the ability to assess and adjust their own cast in the first hour. In addition to practicing fishing techniques on water, participants will learn about stream and lake entomology, reading water and tying essential knots. Another key component of the class is the teaching about the differences in equipment, dispelling myths and revealing how to find best values available. Combine all that with practice playing, landing and releasing fish and the introductory class puts students in a great position to begin a lifelong journey of enjoyable days on the water. Class size is limited to 4 students.
An intermediate and advanced casting school is the ideal follow-up to the fly fishing school. The purpose of this school is to improve any angler's casting skill and efficiency in fresh or salt water. The school includes discussion and practice of casting techniques for accuracy and distance with the use of single and double hauls and oval casting to handle heavy flies. Class size is limited to 4 students.
A children's fishing school provides an ideal opportunity for kids to have fun and learn about a great sport without parental instruction. Each student will enjoy hands-on practice casting, reading water, identifying fish food (bugs) & playing, landing and releasing fish in a fun and respectful way. Class size is limited to 4 students who are 8 years and older.
The couple's fishing school offers a supportive way for partners to enjoy learning together. This school is designed to reduce tension in both casts and relationships simultaneously! Instructions customized to match the needs of each student and there is emphasis on learning to self-assess the efficiency and accuracy of the cast and make adjustments. Participants will leave with effective casting and fishing techniques and an understanding of essential entomology. Class size is limited to 3 couples.
