This two day class takes place on a living, beautiful spring creek, an incredible classroom!

The "instruction" encompasses the following areas of concentration and will be presented by our expert instructors:
* Casting and on-stream presentation techniques
* Knot tying basics
* Collection of aquatic insects and an entomology overview all designed to help students understand fly selection and how "bugs" play into the game
* Basic equipment selection and use
* Understanding of stream hydrology, fish biology and habitat
* Application of learned techniques with "guided" fishing demos
All necessary equipment(rods,reels, flies and leaders) and instructional materials are provided. Students will need to arrange for their own transportation, lodging, meals, & Wisconsin fishing license.
"Jon
Thanks for the excellent Fly Fishing School that Paul, Phil and you presented at Castle Rock. Your Chicago Fly Fishing Outfitters program far exceeded other programs I have experienced. Since taking up fly fishing a few years ago I have been continually trying to improve. After a weekend with you guys I left feeling my knowledge and technique had definitely moved up a level. I especially appreciated the focus on the Wisconsin's Driftless Area. I was also impressed that several attendees who had never done any fly fishing were competently casting and knowledgeably fishing by the program's end. Every aspect of your program was excellent and, with 10 students and 3 instructors, it was like getting individual instruction. I would unhesitatingly recommend this school.

"Loved it. Just what I was looking for to supplement my prior bluegill and bass fishing. Catching my first brown was a highlight!"

"Please extend my thanks to Jon, Will and Phil on an EXCELLENT job with the class. Although I have been fly fishing for 5 years, you guys kept it interesting and it is always good to brush up on the fundamentals."

"What a great course! You did such a nice job and definitely opened my eyes as to why my family/friends enjoy this sport so much. I can tell why it gets compared to golf in a way and hope I can get out to the "real" waters soon this summer.
