Our Fly Fishing Educational program is starting again this Spring/Summer. Registration is now open for our classes that will run through June, take a break for the holidays, and start back up mid July.
Our classes, Fly Fishing 101 (FF-101), Fly Fishing 201 (FF-201) and Fly Fishing 301 (FF-301) are group lessons offered by our in-house guide/instructors. Reasonably priced and information dense these date specific courses allow the students to get themselves ready for a fun day on the water. These classes are space limited so registration is required.
FLY FISHING 101 (FF101)
FF101 will introduce the new/beginner student to basic concepts to undestand gear (what and why), knots and casting stroke. This class is 1 hour and takes place at the Reno Fly Shop. All necessary equipment is provided.
