Classes and Clinics
We host a variety of different classes and clinics throughout the year. We have very diverse fishing seasons out here on the Olympic Peninsula so our classes and clinics change accordingly. In wintertime most of our classes are steelhead oriented, Fall is salmon and Summer is a bit of everything.
Fishing Classes focus on where the fish will be, how to present the fly in different conditions, and general demystification of fly fishing on the Olympic Peninsula rivers.
Tying Classes are geared towards teaching skill sets and techniques that can be used widely and built upon, while producing a fly that will catch fish on our local rivers.
Spey Casting Class
February 13, 2016
Spey casting is a form of fly casting that can be performed with any fly rod. When spey fishing for steelhead or salmon, two-handed rods are primarily used. They allow an angler to cover the water quickly and efficiently with tremendous line control. It's not only fun, but very effective. This full day class takes place on the water where you will learn the essential concepts of spey casting, as well as of the major casts from both sides of the river. Our Spey Casting classes are offered year-round with the exception of prime time winter steelhead fishing. For the most part, we focus on skagit lines with sink tips and light to heavy flies. However, in summer we will cover more dry line techniques for summer steelhead. We will discuss and have available the many different Skagit (and Scandi in summer) heads that make learning to spey cast so much easier than it used to be. Additional topics include reading water, run timings, fly selection and more.
We provide all necessary tackle. All you need is waders, boots and a lunch.
