Our instructors help students learn in the classroom as well as on the water. Instructors teach students about fly-fishing equipment, casting, knots, flies, fish behavior, wading safety and more! The school includes two evening classes and three field days. Completion of this school (or similar fly-fishing experience) is required for the Denver Group’s Fly Fishing section trips.
The lecture nights run between 6:00pm and 9:00pm.
The first and second field days will start between 8:00am - 9:00am and run as late as 4:00pm.
The final field date (graduation trip) will be at a location selected by your instructor, but expect an early start and finish between 3:00 - 4:00pm.
Please Note: There will be a final, graduation trip on May 9 that's not shown here. You'll be part of a group and your group's senior instructor will guide that final trip. You'll need to complete the graduation day trip to receive your fly fishing badge.
