Do you find fishing boring? Have you ever tried Fly Fishing? This type of fishing is a more challenging, yet rewarding, way to catch Trout in our mountain streams. The more you improve, the more fish you catch, boredom and luck take a backseat to skill and experience.

In this crash course you will get all of the information, skills, and techniques you need to start Fly Fishing. All gear will be provided as well as an expert educator. The first half of the day will consist of learning and practice, then after lunch you will gear up and put your skills to the test on a mountain stream.
