Fly-fishing Guides - Drift, Wade or Paddle

Learn to Fly Fish

Lately, we have been getting a lot of clients who went to a "Brand Name Fly Fishing School" for a weekend and became frustrated when they came back with a lot of expensive equipment, but experienced problems when they attempted to fish on their own. There's no substitute for time on the water. Developing a good understanding of strategies and techniques that will be effective in catching fish is one of the basic fundamentals of fly fishing in New England.

The LL Bean® Discovery  Learn to Fly Fish School, the Orvis® fly fishing school and other weekend learn to fly fish instruction programs are very well known, but are not for everybody.  Let us tell you about our approach.

We want to pass along our many years of experience and love of the sport. We are not here to sell or endorse equipment. We provide unbiased information about how to select rods, reels, line, waders and other gear.  We don't spend a lot of time talking about brands and models, but provide practical, useful information. Our experience tells us that casting is only one part of fly fishing. In our fly fishing lessons you will not only learn how to cast, but where and when to cast.  You will learn how to identify what trout eat, how to select flies that match trout food and how to present the fly in a natural way. We teach you how to "read the water" and learn where trout hold in a stream, how to approach them and how to cast to where they will eat your fly.

LL Bean and Orvis make great gear. Other vendors do too, and often the best gear for you is not the most expensive. There is no need to buy any special equipment before we teach you how to fly fish.  We provide all fly rods, reels, waders and other equipment. All of our lessons are on the water in New Hampshire or Massachusetts, whatever is more convenient for you.  You will learn by seeing and doing. You will get personal outdoors instruction and not be in a large class.  It will be just you, your friends, your spouse, or work colleagues. We can handle from one to six people at a time - no more.  We will give you personal attention that quickly lets you be effective. We make you feel comfortable and won't waste your time.
