Our fly fishing event follows a carefully designed schedule to ensure you gain maximum value from the experience. The day begins at 9:00 AM with a brief introduction, followed by segments covering fly rod selection (9:05-9:20 AM), rigging your gear (9:20-9:40 AM), and understanding knots and leaders (9:40-10:00 AM). We recognize that learning new skills requires breaks, so we’ve incorporated a 20-minute refreshment break at 10:00 AM and another 15-minute break at 11:00 AM to keep energy levels high and minds receptive.
The interactive nature of our instruction ensures that every participant receives hands-on experience with the equipment and techniques discussed. You’ll not only learn about fly casting theory but will actually practice the motions and receive personalized feedback to improve your form. Our small-group format allows for plenty of individual attention, ensuring that by the end of the session, you’ll have gained confidence in the fundamental skills needed to pursue fly fishing as a rewarding outdoor activity. No prior experience is necessary – just bring your enthusiasm and readiness to learn!
