Beginner Fly Casting Beginner Angler's Class Beginner Nymph Fishing Class Two-Day Angler's Fast Track Class

All Rocky Mountain Adventures, Inc. fly-fishing instructors are skilled teachers. Our primary emphasis is on teaching you fly-fishing techniques that allow you to more thoroughly understand and enjoy the sport.

BEGINNER FLY CASTING CLASS

This class is where it all begins. Learn to cast properly and you have just increased the likelihood that you will consistently catch fish. During the class you will learn the straight-line cast, reach cast and roll cast. If time allows and your skills are coming along, we will teach you the basics of the double haul. We supply the equipment but, if you have a rod, bring it along as there is nothing nicer than learning to use your own equipment.
