Intermediate Fly Fishing
This course is for beginning fly anglers looking to expand their skills and catch fish in more diverse situations. We will be developing more familiarity with fly casting, including different methods for more diverse situations. We will learn how to fish rivers and streams, as well as insect identification and how to “match the hatch.” Students will need to bring their own rod, reel, and line, as well as a baseball cap or brimmed hat, sunglasses, and closed toe shoes. Students are also encouraged to bring whatever flies or tackle they already have. Some of the classes will be held at diverse fishing locations near Pocatello, so you will need to provide your own transportation to the meeting sites.
Intermediate Fly Tying
This course is for beginning fly tiers who want to expand their skills and learn some new fly-tying techniques. We’ll be skipping the basics and working on more complex fly patterns, using complicated materials, incorporating multiple materials, tying more realistic flies, and using standard materials in different ways to achieve different effects and appearances. Students should bring their own fly-tying tools (vice, bodkin, bobbin, thread, scissors) and are encouraged to bring other tools and materials as well. Our classes are for ages 16 and up, however, this class welcomes those 12 years of age to 17 with a registered adult for the class.
