Learn the sport of fly fishing from experienced flyfishing guides in Indiana
Part of our love of guiding flyfishers is in helping people improve their flyfishing skills. Everytime you improve any aspect of your flycasting or presentation it improves your overall success and enjoyment of the sport. We offer private fly fishing classes, flycasting lessons, and flyfishing "mentor" programs to help you develop quickly and shorten the learning curve to success as a flyfisher. Between us, we have over 45 years of fly fishing experience to pass on.
If you are new to flyfishing we highly recommend that you don't buy any equipment until after we have worked with you. After your classes and lessons, you'll have a thorough understanding of what fly fishing equipment you'll need. This approach will definitely save you money. Remember, we are not affiliated with any fly shop so we have no motivation to sell you anything at all. We want you to get started in flyfishing with the least hassle and expense. Loaner equipment is available to practice your skills before you invest in your own flyfishing equipment. We can recommend the equipment you'll need to get started based on your budget, target fish species, etc. It doesn't have to be expensive to get started fly fishing. While you can buy the best of the best if you want to (and you'll certainly enjoy it), we can recommend moderately priced fly rods, fly reels, and other equipment that will serve you well for years. Don't let cost chase you away from the sport of a lifetime.
Here are some of the lessons and classes we offer:
Individual flycasting lessons: $25 per hour
Beginner's flyfishing class (4 hour private class): $100
Beginner's Full-day flyfishing class: $225
If flyfishing has always interested you and you would like to explore it for a day to see if you want to pursue it, our full day beginner's course is a great way to get started. You'll get a solid overview of how flyfishing works, the gear, the flies, the casting, and a opportunity to try your hand at some fish in stillwater.
Flyfishing Mentor Program: $700
Our mentor program is intended to move you through the learning phases in a single season. We accelerate your progress from a novice flyfisher to one with a thorough understanding of the sport and the basic skills to be able to enjoy flyfishing from the bank of a pond, while wading in a river, or flyfishing from a drift boat. Developing these skills will increase your enjoyment of flyfishing in many different situations. The course series includes:
Whether from the banks of your subdivision pond, wading a local stream, or enjoying a float trip down a famous Montana trout river, the skills you will learn in this series of courses will skip you ahead years in learning to flyfish. Assignments will be given to practice your skills between sessions. (Yep, there's homework.)
