Our Signature Course is designed for intermediate anglers who are passionate about fly fishing and eager to take their skills to the next level. We have a remarkable team of instructors for this course—some of the most talented in the industry—and their approach to teaching is interactive, in-depth and inspiring.
During the mornings of the first three days, we will cover essential topics in a classroom setting: Leaders and tippets, fishing knots, fisheries biology, insects, the importance of a good presentation, fly lines, rise forms, approaching the water and different water types, selecting a fly, what to carry with you, and so much more. On-water topics include basic fish photography, aquatic insects, observation, wading a river, boat fishing, etiquette, reading the water, various techniques for dry fly, nymph and streamer fishing and knowing the various types of casts.
The Signature Course places a huge emphasis on the proper mechanics of casting, as this is the foundation of good angling. After four days, students will understand how to self-correct casting mistakes, how to avoid throwing wind knots or tailing loops, and how to throw a beautiful line consistently and accurately in all conditions. There is no question that you will emerge from the Signature Course a better and more independent angler.
