Fly Fishing School
This school is designed to teach beginners with little or no experience. Students provide their own rod, reel, line waders, boots and license. We provide most everything else. The course consists of three evening lectures of three hours each and one Saturday field trip.
Fly Tying School 101
It is designed for those with little or no experience. Tying equipment and materials are provided. The school consists of four classes providing instruction on tying tools and how to use them, attaching the thread, attaching the materials, fly proportions, and finishing the fly.
Fly Tying School 102
FTS 101 or equivalent skills are a prerequisite for this school. Students must have their own fly tying equipment. The school consists of four classes providing instruction for more complicated nymphs and two dry flies. Using these techniques the student will be able to tie dozens of variations.
Fly Tying Seminars
In the off season, some of our more experienced fly tyers may offer evening seminars regarding specific topics or flies. The pre-requisite experience is Fly Tying 101 or the equivalent. Although instructional, the presence of tyers of different skill levels makes for good discussion and exchange of ideas. This is a great way to learn new skills at higher detail.
Fly Casting Clinics
Fly Casting Clinics are offered periodically throughout the season to help our members improve their casting. They may cover general or specific topics relative to casting. The clinics are led by a Federation of Fly Fishers Certified Casting Instructor with help from some of our very experienced members. Member feedback regarding these clinics has been good, and these are an excellent opportunity to improve your skills and line control.
On River Clinics
During the season, more experienced members of our Section may offer on river instruction in specific areas or techniques. These are usually designated as Instructional Trips. They may cover such topics as nymph fishing, dead drift, and dry fly fishing, to name a few. This is a perfect way to delve into details of different techniques and receive instruction from an experienced person. |
