FLY FISHING 301

Whether you have come up through the Orvis FF101/201 program or you are someone that just wants a little guidance on how to become a better fly fisher, nothing beats time on the water with a knowledgeable guide or instructor. Our FF301 program is the next step in your fly-fishing education. Designed to give you a great on-the-water fly-fishing experience, the day's instruction is built around specific techniques and local fisheries.

Private Instruction

Take the Fly Fishing 101/201 experience to the next level. Orvis Fly Fishing School instructors will be leading morning and afternoon sessions on local trout streams. These guided trips will focus on techniques and strategies used to catch the beautiful wild trout of the Green Mountains region. This time of year can offer some fantastic dry-fly fishing on little feeder streams for our native brookies. Our on-the-water instruction and practice on actual fish can't be duplicated on a city lawn or parking lot. Participants must have a VT fishing license and their own gear. Orvis will provide flies. Space is extremely limited, so call or stop by the Flagship Store to reserve your spot. Cost: $100 per angler, two anglers per instructor.
