The Reno Fly Shop is an Orvis Endorsed Fly Shop/Outfitter and has been able to build upon the historic and very successful Orvis Fly Fishing Education Program. We have taken this curriculum and modified it to fit customer feedback and some of our local waters
Our classes, FF101, FF201 and FF301 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 201 – Building on the same areas as the 101 this 2.5 hour course will go into greater detail and additional topics that the longer class time allows. Completion of FF101 is required unless signed off by a RFS instructor. All necessary gear is provided by RFS instructors. (limited to 5 students)
You will cover the following topics in our FF201 class:
-
- Introduction to fly rods, reels and lines and their different applications
- Essential knots and rigging – with the opportunity to tie your own and which knot to use when.
- Fly selection and how these change seasonally and even through the day.
- Basic casting at a local park on the grass.
There is a $100 fee for participation in the FF201 class. At completion of the class the student will be given a $25 gift certificate that can be used in the Reno Fly Shop.
