Rental gear available for $20.  If you purchase rod or reel from shop within a month of class we refund your $20 rental fee!

Angler's Lane Trout - 101 and 102

Trout 101 seeks to break down the process into simple steps, taking the mystery out of the sport. We will cover subjects such basic casting, roll casting, mending line and side-arm casting. Separate sessions will cover knot tying, stream entomology (which flies to use and why), locating fish and reading a stream. Also discussed will be fundamentals of selecting a fly rod and which fly rods to use for given situations.  Because this class is conducted on-stream you can immediately apply your newly-learned skills to the real conditions of moving water while you fish our private waters. 

Student:teacher ratio will not exceed 3:1. Dates are subject to availability of guides and stream!  Let us know with form below what dates suit you best and we will respond promptly!

For the more ambitious students, Trout 102 represents a second day and picks up where we left off after day 1.  Rate per day is same daily rate as above for Trout 101.
