One On One Instruction On The Water

Over the years I've been approached by beginners and the curious about a basic introduction to fly fishing. While fly fishing is a life-long learning experience, there are some basic operations, terminology and techniques one can learn in a relatively short while that will help ease the learning curve. Learn to fly fish in a practical setting; on the water.

Course Outline

* Each session, morning or afternoon, is 3 hours. Rain or shine.(no rain delays in fly fishing!)

* Learn the language and the terminology.

* Take a look at gear selection and must-have equipment.

* Basic rigging of equipment. The knots to know.

* Safety issues.

* Streamside ettiquette.

* Basic casting fundamentals. Double-haul cast and roll cast.

* Reading water. Where do fish hold and why?

* Fly selection.

* Fly floats, mending the line.

* Hooking and playing fish.

* Landing and releasing fish.

As you can see by the last two items that we hope to actually catch a fish or two. No guarantees however. Remember, it's instruction not guiding!

What Will You Need?

Of course you must have a vaild general fishing license. You may bring your own equipment or it will be provided. A good sense of humour is a must. There are times when only a good chuckle will defeat your frustration. Besides, this is going to be fun.
