Pennsylvania Fly Fishing Schools
Why are our fly fishing schools the best? They feature private or small group instruction by friendly, experienced guides and instructors in a relaxed setting. You will not be placed in a school with ten or twenty people and try to learn hands on skills from one person because that's a frustrating situation and our goal is to have you leave your school with a positive outlook on flyfishing and the skills you need to fish on your own. We have taught these schools for over a decade and as a result our former students are now our best customers and clients because they have come to recognize that the same level of expertise and commitment that goes into our schools goes into everything we do.
Fly Fishing Schools in PA
Located in Eastern PA, our schools are close to Philadelphia, New Jersey, New York, and Baltimore as well as Allentown, Bethlehem, and the rest of the Lehigh Valley. Our fly shop is right aside of the Little Schuylkill River, an easily wadeable freestone trout stream which is perfectly suited for beginners. Combined with our comfortable classroom these resources form the ultimate fly fishing school where we can transition from video and other visual presentations directly to the river. Our schools include the use of quality fishing tackle, we don't make you rent tackle like other places, and all full day schools include lunch and refreshments. Our facility can accomodate group schools and we are fully equipped and capable to handle corporate groups for a unique recreation experience.
