| Basic Skills Fly FishingPeople often ask "How do I learn fly fishing?" And, the answer is start with the BASICS. Fly fishing is a sport built around a basic set of skills such as setting up a fly rig, knot tying, choosing the right fly, finding where the fish are, casting, and of course landing the fish. There is no quicker more enjoyable way to savor all the fun of fly fishing offers than grow your fishing skills through the tutelage of a friend and expert mentor. |
| Casting InstructionLearning to cast properly is one of the most rewarding skills a fly fisher can possess. A fisherman can do everything right from the rod & rigging to the choosing fly to getting the right equipment but if they cannot present the fly correctly in the location of a fish they will likely go home empty handed. Casting correctly is critically important for fly fishing. A casting mentor can observe a fisher's technique objectively. Observing from a distance, they can quickly identify needed corrections and put you on the right track to effectively presenting the fly. |
| TenkaraTenkara is a method of fly-fishing particularly well-suited for stream fishing and for anyone looking for a simpler way to fly-fish. It is the ideal setup for backpacking. Tenkara is a very effective, simple and enjoyable method of fly-fishing. Tenkara is particularly effective for fishing mountain streams. The main advantage is its simplicity. |
| Fly TyingFly tying requires some basic equipment; a vise to hold the hook, a bobbin to dispense and provide tension on thread, scissors, pliers and the appropriate materials for the particular fly pattern selected. These materials consists mostly of feathers, fur/animal hairs, threads, and various synthetic materials. Fly tying equipment enables the fly tier to efficiently and effectively assemble and secure the materials on the hook to produce a particular type of fly. |
