Learn the special tricks and techniques required for successful fly fishing in our region. Our own staff will run the show this year, and you won't find more skillful fishers or instructors in any region of the country! The venues remain the same as years past: the rustic but gorgeous "campus" of the Big Butte lodge or the Pisgah Center for Wildlife Education. Class starts at 9:00 a.m. with a morning session at the shop covering equipment, knots, and rigging. We'll adjourn to the lot for a preliminary casting lesson before lunch. During lunch, we will learn the knots required to rig your outfit, tie on flies, add droppers, mend leaders and generally be self-sufficient on-stream. The afternoon is then spentor on the Davidson River observing casting techniques and stream dynamics. We start from the beginning - this is a class for beginners! But the goal is for students to leave capable of fending for themselves on-stream: rigging up, casting, fixing leaders, selecting flies -- and catching fish. This day of instruction could save a beginner months of frustration and failure and we highly recommend it to anyone considering this great sport. Tuition, including books, is $200.00 and the school is limited to 6 students with a minimum of 3 students. Please book your class early as our spring classes will fill quickly. 2008 One Day School Dates
