Fly Fishing

Classes and Clinics: Please call the shop at (303) 215-9386 or Email Bart for questions and class availability. But here’s the basics…..

Introductory Fly Fishing Class: This class is designed to provide you with a strong foundation of general knowledge about fly fishing. The first portion will be spent in the shop where we will be going over tackle/equipment, knots, entomology and fly selection. After this, we move straight to the casting lesson. This is performed on dry land away from the water -you'll see why. Once the basics are covered, it's time to go fishing! You will learn dry fly, nymph and streamer fishing. We will also touch on reading the water, stream etiquette and conservation practices. The goal of the course is for you to leave feeling confident that you could grab some gear and go fishing without any further guidance/assistance. Once you have these basic skills down, your only homework is to go fishing. Typical class lengths are 4 hours at a rate of $150.00 for a single angler, $250.00 for two and $100 for each additional person. Group discounts available. Bring your family members, friend, wife, husband, girlfriend, boyfriend, youth group, scout troop, etc for an exciting and informative lesson!

Beginning Fly Tying Clinic: Many of us have always wanted to learn how to tie our own flies, but there's always something holding us back. This clinic is the perfect "stepping stone." Geared towards the total novice, you will learn simple skills that provide a great basis for tying our own flies. Men, women and children are encouraged to sign up as our instructors can teach to a wide range of students. Everything is provided for you. Just bring your note pad, camera and fly box - you keep what you tie! Cost is $75.00 per person. Group discounts available.
