Private instruction is a great way to dive into fly fishing on your own schedule with one on one guidance. If you are getting ready for a trip, dusting off skills or want a more personal experience with an instructor, our private classes are for you. Scheduled 7 days a week (based upon instructor availability) to fit your needs.
3 HOUR INTRODUCTION TO FLY FISHING
This is the opportunity to have our FF101 and FF201 presented to you in a private instructor setting fitting into your schedule. Our goal is to cover the basic topics, so you’re prepared to go out and have a fun day on the water. Students must be 12 years old or older.
You will be exposed to:
- Introduction to fly rods, reels, lines, equipment and how to select flies.
- The essential knots and rigging to allow you to keep your flies in the water.
- At a local park (in the grass) you will be shown the basics of the overhead fly cast, how to manage line when casting and how to deliver a fly.
- The instructor will walk along the Truckee River to present the safe way to plan to get into and out of the water, where fish would be holding and how best to plan on approaching them when you are out on your own.
PRIVATE CASTING INSTRUCTION
Refreshing your skills or looking to explore a specific technique in more depth? Our instructors are here to assist. During this class, we will discuss your goals and interests to create a customized plan tailored to your needs. Each lesson provides one-on-one attention from our highly experienced instructors, who will break down your casting technique and identify areas for improvement. These private lessons are offered at a rate of $100 per hour for 1 or 2 students.
We cover topics such as:
- Learning to double haul and reach casts
- Improving accuracy and/or adding distance to your casts
- Correcting common casting errors such as: tailing loops, rod creep and shooting line
