If you’ve ever tried to teach a friend or family member how to fly-fish, you’ve probably had the realization that it’s not as simple as it sounds. Not that it can’t be done! But it takes focus and a game plan. And it really doesn’t work if you think you are going to fish at the same time.
But what if you could get them started in fly-fishing with a great teacher who already has the game plan, and you could fish while they learned, and it was all basically free? It’s called Fly-Fishing 101 – the new instructional program at ArkAnglers. It doesn’t replace our time-tested Fly-Fishing Schools, but it is a great start for someone who wants to get a real feel for the sport without a big investment. See the announcement below, round up those poor souls you know who’ve yet to set the hook, and sign them up for Fly-Fishing 101!
Fly-Fishing 101
Learn to Fly-Fish for Free!!
There is no substitute for focused initial instruction when making a start in fly-fishing. Trying to go it alone, coupled with the perceived cost of equipment, often keep potential fly-fishermen from entering the sport.
ArkAnglers has a solution for both of these problems! Our new program, Fly-Fishing 101, combines 8 hours of classroom and on-river instruction with a $100 gift certificate – good for retail purchases at our shops in Salida, Buena Vista and Pueblo.
The course fee is $100/person. For that you will receive the $100 ArkAnglers retail gift certificate, the instruction, use of all equipment, flies, and terminal tackle. Participants will need a fishing license, lunch, and outdoor clothing appropriate for the season.
Topics of instruction will include: selection and rigging of equipment, aquatic insects and their imitations, trout behavior, “reading” the river, casting, fly presentation, and line management.
Salida Course Dates: 3/7, 3/21, 4/4, 5/16, 6/6, 6/20, 7/11, 7/25, 8/8, 8/22, 9/12, 9/26.
