It can definitely be a challenge getting started in anything but especially it seems in figuring out flyfishing Washington rivers. We strive to create a fun, safe and practical learning environment when teaching beginners to fly fishing. Our methods of teaching focus on practicality and you gaining knowledge in the specific area of interest.

It can be a daunting task figuring out fly fishing and down right dangerous running these Pacific Northwest rivers on your own without appropriate knowledge, training and skills. That being said, once you have a good base of knowledge, flyfishing and running our amazing Washington rivers is a rewarding experience in a very magical place.

We prefer to teach classes in a one on one or two setting to maximize the amount of information we cover as well as increase your understanding and retention. That being said, group courses and casting clinics are a frequent occurrence as well. Written course materials provided.

Subject matter includes field-based single-handed flycasting, field-based Spey casting, knot tying, understanding Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations, river safety, safely fly casting on the river, reading rivers for flyfishing, practical application of fly fishing rivers, rowing rivers for fly fishing and running whitewater.
