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.

BEGINNER NYMPH FISHING CLASS
This is an introductory four hour class focused exclusively on nymph fishing. Being able to nymph fish is essential for productive trout fishing. Trout feed primarily on sub-surface insects or nymphs. Learning the correct techniques will greatly increase your catch rate. You will learn the basics of nymph fishing with indicators, multiple flies, weights, proper gear, essential knots and entomology. Also, you will learn the high stick and the essential dead drift techniques along with how to recognize takes, properly set your hook and how to play and land fish. This class will emphasize how to read water and improve your wading skills. This class is very informative and fun so come prepared to spend lots of time on the water to learn and refine your skills.
