Two-Day
Introduction to Fly Fishing Clinic: $595*

This class combines the fundamentals of fly casting with practical on-stream experience and is designed for the person who wants a more in-depth introduction to the sport. Saturday consists of our One-Day Casting Clinic and covers the disciplines described for that class. We spend Sunday on our private trout stream and bass lake.
You will learn basic stream ecology, fly selection (matching the hatch), reading water and aquatic entomology. Your instructors will demonstrate how to fish the three major types of flies (dry's, nymphs and streamers) on moving water and how to land a fish on a fly rod. Sunday afternoon you will have an opportunity to catch your first fish on a fly as your instructors guide you.
We provide all equipment and you may choose to take home a new Scott A2 fly rod, Ross Flystart reel spooled with Scientific Angler backing, line and leader.
