Fly Fishing 201

The Reno Fly Shop has created a fully customized and unique Fly Fishing Education Program. We have started with our successful private lesson curriculum and adapted it to the group environment.

FF201 builds upon our FF101 (required pre-requisite) and will pick up where that class leaves off. After a quick review of the basics the student will be exposed to the following topics:

• Review of 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.

Every student leaves with a $25 gift certificate, handed to you at the end of class. Use it however you like — flies and gear in the shop, your next class, a private lesson, or a day on the water. All of our instructors are working guides, so if you want to keep going, the person who taught you can take you fishing.

FF101 is required to take our FF201.

Price: $100/student to register. You'll receive a $25 gift certificate at the end of class.
