The instruction is

students know what is important and what is needed. It is a complete mind dump
from me of all the aspects of fly fishing.

classroom instruction plus
about 4 hours of
HANDS-ON casting lessons
PRICE is
$199/student
CLASSROOM TOPICS
Students will be:
Knowledgeable -- enough to feel comfortable in any fly
shop – know what you are looking at…
Confident and Productive (ability
to catch fish) to be able to read the stream / know where and what direction
(upstream or downstream) and make the right presentation with the particular
fly – to catch fish.
Have the right temperament to handle “problems” like snags / lost
flies / falling in / and still enjoy themselves
Topics that we cover:
GEAR
about 10 hours of classroom instruction
We start at the reel and cover what you NEED to
know about setup / drag / backing / line / how to rig etc..
We move to the fly rods – covering the variety
of weights / What to buy / what to avoid
We then cover lines – what you need to know
about them and the different types
We then review leaders / tippets – many money
saving tips here
We cover knots / loops / all hands-on
We then cover flies
We cover Safety
We discuss clothing / vests / walking sticks /
gear in the vest / types of Waders… all aspects of gear
Where to go / streams in the area / laws or
special regulations / trout and bass
HANDS-ON CASTING
About 4 HOURS HANDS - ON
casting – each student will be able to cast proficiently
Class is held at Cedar Bluff Racquet Club -- in
any weather because we cast on a Tennis court. We have a classroom section and
then a casting lesson each night.
I can supply a student their fly rod if needed –
no equipment is required. Most do bring their own rod / reel with them if they
have one, of course. We discuss what to buy to make the students an informed
buyer as part of the class. 3 Rivers Angler fly shop has a lifetime warranty
fly rod for about $160, if you need a great rod at a great price. If you have a
rod / reel let me know about it and bring it with you each night.
All you NEED to bring is a notebook and pen – each night.
(I will supply all equipment)
SPECIAL NIGHT -- DVD –
supplemental learning WEDNESDAY -- we will watch an instructional DVD to cover “on the steam”
activity. We watch it in 3 Rivers Angler fly shop because Allen and Jeremy are
gracious enough to allow us to have the shop all to ourselves. It is closed to
the public.
