What is the curriculum for a Guided Lesson?

In addition to working on the skills that you make me aware of, we will cover the following topics:

• The body of water being worked

• Breakdown of the species being targeted

• The seasons and how they affect the species being targeted

• Current water conditions

• Reading the water

• Selecting flies based on the hatch and fish behavior

• Casting

• Presentation techniques

• Mending and line management

• Wading safety

• Hook-setting and playing fish

• Proper fish handling

• Knot Tying

• Sharpening hooks

What are the requirements?

• There are absolutely no requirements to take a lesson. Guided Lessons are perfect for beginners and intermediate anglers alike.

What should I bring?

• Fishing license

• Polarized Sunglasses

• Weather appropriate clothing

• We suggest using your own gear, if you have it. Otherwise, we can provide rod, reel and terminal tackle. We do not have waders and boots to lend.

What if I don’t have waders and boots? In most cases, this is not a problem. Water shoes and an extra pair of pants/socks/shoes and you’ll be just fine.
