This 6‑lesson Learn to Fly Fish program is designed to take brand‑new anglers from “never held a fly rod” to confidently planning and executing their own days on the water.

Understanding rods, reels, lines, leaders, tippet, and essential tools; how to rig your setup correctly for different situations.

Casting Fundamentals

Stance, grip, and basic casting mechanics (including the overhead and roll cast) to build accuracy and distance without frustration.

Reading Water & Fish Behavior
How to identify productive water, understand current seams and structure, and recognize where and why fish hold and feed.

 

Flies, Knots & Presentations

Intro to fly selection (dry, nymph, streamer), simple reliable knots, and how to present your fly naturally to trigger strikes.

 

Hooking, Playing & Landing Fish
Strike detection, proper hook‑set techniques, fighting fish on light tackle, and safe handling and catch‑and‑release practices.

 

Putting It All Together
A guided “independent day” where you plan a simple outing, choose your rig and flies, and fish with coaching focused on making you self‑sufficient.
