Courses and Seminars
We offer some unique courses throughout the season, Our courses are directed towards a beginner that is looking to learn or master a specific style of fishing. We offer these courses to educate each student on the specific technique, what to look for and what you will need. These courses are created with less emphasis on catching fish and more on learning how to do it. This is the main difference between a course and a fully guided trip. All our trips are set up as 8-9 hour days on the water. Each class includes a hot meal for lunch and few specific supplies. Students will need to provide their own equipment (waders, rods, reels, fishing licences with appropriate tags, terminal tackle.) you will have the opportunity to purchase a starter kit from us, these have all the basic gear you will need. These kits range in costs depending on course. Each course will have starter kit list and what you will need. Each course is limited to 4 students per day per guide this ensures you get the most instruction possible. Upon booking your class you will be sent a starter list outlining what you will need to have for each course. We will also be sourcing suppliers for you to get the best quality at reasonable prices.
