Intro to Fly Fishing Class
Our intro to fly fishing course is unlike any other in the metro region, most of which are glorified casting classes. In our Intro to Fly Fishing we are teaching all of the fundamentals of this wonderful sport so our clients have a solid foundation to build upon in their journey.
Upcoming Class Dates & Details
Intro to Fly Tying Class
Join our resident tying expert and author Jeff Morgan to learn how to tie various different flies for trout and steelhead with more classes coming soon. Fly tying for many is an art form and adds another level to fly fishing. There truly is nothing better than landing a fish on a fly you have tied yourself.
Each of our classes is a three part, three week series where you will learn to tie a fly and then have "homework" to bring back the following week. Just as with learning to play an instrument, we find giving some post class work will help you build and develop your tying abilities.
