About
Everything covered in the “Introduction to Fly Fishing” class is covered in the “Fly Fishing A – Z” class. However, the difference in this class is that for the last couple of hours of the day, you actually put on your waders and polarized sunglasses, grab a fly rod, and now put in practice what you’ve learned earlier in the day. A Georgia Trout Fishing license is required and lunch will be provided!
Additionally, you will be introduced to the following basic fly fishing techniques:
- Fishing with Dry Flies
- Nymphing
- Fishing with Streamers
- Line Mending
Taking an approach to the water, what to look for before tying on a fly, and reading the water will be factors that you must think about before “jumping in” — and starting to fly fish. In addition, you will be faced with both wind and the ever-present water currents wanting to grab your line and ruin your fly presentation. This is where it all comes together, and you begin your journey as a fly angler.
Our trips are dependent upon the ever-changing nature of the Chattahoochee and water levels.
