productive.

SPECIAL NIGHT -- DVD – supplemental
learning on WEDNESDAY - we will watch an instructional DVD to cover “on the steam” Fly
Fishing. We watch this TEACHING DVD in 3 Rivers Angler fly shop because Allen is
gracious enough to allow us to have the shop all to ourselves.

Students will be:
Knowledgeable -- enough to feel comfortable in any fly shop – know what you
are looking at…
Functional (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
10 hours of classroom instruction
GEAR
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 rod – 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 cover flies –
Types / Categories / Presentation of each
Safety
MORE GEAR -- 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
CASTING
4 HOURS OF “HANDS-ON” CASTING
I can supply each 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. 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)
CLASS PRICE is $225/student
