FLY FISHING 101

Let us introduce you to your next passion with one of our Fly Fishing 101 group courses.  We will cover the fundamentals of casting, demonstrate how to play, fight, and land a fish, walk through basic gear-assembly techniques, and demonstrate how to tie a few knots – all in only two hours!  You’ll leave with the skills and knowledge to build a solid, starting foundation for your fly angling journey, and meet new friends with similar interests.  Here’s what you can expect:

  • Schedule: Check out our class schedule and find a date that works for you.  Our classes run on Saturdays from 8AM-10AM at the shop, with a maximum of eight (8) students per class. Our class size is intentionally smaller, allowing for more customization, flexibility, and ultimately more 1:1 attention for students, all to make your experience better! 

  • Arrival: We recommend arriving to the shop 10 minutes before your scheduled class. Grab a cup of coffee and settle in, as we will start promptly at 8AM to maximize our education and instruction time.

  • Class: We divide our class into two sections: (1) In-Shop Education, and (2) Outdoor Casting.  Here’s what you can expect:

      • Fly Reels

      • Backing & Fly line

      • Leader & Tippet

    • (2) Outdoor Casting

  • Wrap-Up: The journey doesn’t end there. As a new member of the Tailwaters Family, we’d love to spend more time getting to know you and showing you around the shop. If you’re ready to take the next step, your instructor can recommend products to set you up for success. 

We love sharing our passion and can’t wait to walk alongside you on your fly fishing journey.  From education, to equipment, to exploration, we offer a 360 degree program to service anglers of all ages and levels.  Let’s go!
