Spring Beginner Fly Fishing Class
Is this the year you learn how to fly-fish? Have you fly-fished for a few years and still struggle with the fundamentals? Well look no further. Using special use permits for the Fort Collins Natural Areas, we are very excited to offer our Colorado Beginner Anglers Class in Fort Collins, Colorado on Saturdays and Sundays for the months of March and April. These classes will be conducted on the in-town sections of the Cache La Poudre. By taking this class, our students will learn all the fly fishing basics. After 6 hours of instruction our students will have cut 5 years off the learning curve and be ready to get out on the water and be successful on their own. This class will be taught on the water were the fish are at. Learning how to cast on water will allow the students to learn the nuances of the sport that are impossible to learn on grass at a park. Spring Beginner Anglers Class Cost: $215. This price includes a lunch and all essential gear (boots, waders, rod, reel, flies, leaders and tippet). A Colorado fishing license is required for all Beginner Fly Fishing Classes.
