Thinking about learning how to Fly Fish?
Class, Cast, Fish-
We had an excellent turn out of students through the CCF class in 2024. We are proud to know that we made anglers out of our students. We will be continueing our monthly class in 2025.
We know getting into the sport of fly fishing can be a bit confusing and an intimidating task. Our instructors are here to help get you started in the right direction. This class will help untangle the challenge of getting started in fly fishing. We guarantee this class will teach you more in a day than you could learn in a year on your own. So if you're new to fly fishing or looking to get back into it, this class is for you.
This class will start in the fly shop. Students will get a tour around the shop to make sense of all the gear. We will go over rods/reels/lines, boots/waders, packs, tackle and flies. From there, we will start our classroom "table talk" where guests will learn knots, rigging, and how to approach the water. We will also learn some entomology.
After the in store portion of class we will take an intermission and meet back up on the river. From here we will spend some time with a formal casting lesson. This is often considered the most valuable portion of the class. Developing the proper casting mechanics will save you headaches down the road.
Once the casting lesson is finished we will hit the water. On the river you will learn how to wade safely, approach a river and read the water to identify where fish like to hold. During the on the water clinic portion of the class the students will get to learn different techniques for fishing a river. We will go over dry fly fishing, dry dropper, nymph, and streamer fishing for the rest of the day.
