Fishing Styles offered

Beginner classes are thoughtfully designed for those stepping into the world of fly fishing for the very first time. Topics covered include a thorough understanding of essential equipment, the study of entomology (insects found in the water), techniques for reading water currents, fish behavior and habits, recognizing underwater structures, and much more.

Euro Nymphing or Contact Fishing involves using a lightweight rod, typically a 2 or 3 weight, that is 10 feet or longer. If you are not yet familiar with this style of fly fishing, it emphasizes maintaining direct contact with your flies, allowing you to connect closely with the trout in a very personal and engaging way.

“Chucking” Streamers is generally done with a 5 to 7 weight rod, depending on the species you are targeting and the size of the river. This method resembles spin fishing but uses a fly rod instead. Essentially, it involves casting a heavier fly with a consistent retrieval motion, often described as a stripping technique. While the explanation might sound simple, it’s an effective way to cover water and attract larger fish.

Dry fly fishing is considered the classic or old-school form of fly fishing, especially effective during insect hatches. This approach can provide a very rewarding and exciting fishing experience as you cast and present flies that mimic the bugs trout are feeding on.

Spin Cast Fishing is also available upon request, with fishing locations tailored according to the species you hope to catch.

Whether you prefer traditional or modern techniques, there’s something here for everyone.
