Fly Fishing Class

GOPC Fly Fishing Class

A very comprehensive one day course with two instructors for 8 to 12 students. We’ve packed a lot of information into an 8 hour day, including: casting, knots, equipment, fishing strategies and fly selection, for coldwater, warmwater and saltwater species. Beginners can expect to learn the skills that will allow them to catch fish on their own, and intermediate level fly fishers can advance their casting skills and fill in some holes in their technical knowledge. We provide all equipment, including a textbook, as well as lunch and drinks. Just bring a willingness to have fun and learn, but register early. While we do have multiple dates in 6 locations across the state, they fill up fast.

Trout - Clearwater Lake

About Clearwater Lake: The Triangle class will focus primarily on Trout. This is partly a response to our customer’s requests and partly to take advantage of this very unique location. Clearwater Lake in Chatham County is a cool, clear, spring fed lake that has been stocked with pond raised rainbow and brook trout. The last hour or two of this class will be on the water casting to and, hopefully, catching trout.
