Divemaster Fee

New to fly fishing? This guided lesson breaks the basics into manageable steps, covering casting, reading the water, and tying knots. You’ll have time to practice each skill on the creek, with an experienced angler nearby to offer guidance and answer questions. The hands-on format helps connect each lesson to the fishing in front of you, giving you useful skills to keep developing afterward.

It’s a practical choice for beginners who want more than a quick introduction and prefer to learn outdoors with a guide by their side. Expect a learning-focused day where you can ask questions, try new techniques, and build familiarity with fly fishing at your own pace.

From First Cast to Reading the Water

This guided walk-and-wade outing is built for anglers who already know the basics and want to make more thoughtful choices on the water. Work on how your fly lands and moves, learn to approach selective trout, and adjust your strategy as conditions change. The focus is on wild Rainbow trout, with coaching tailored to the fishing in front of you rather than a fixed lesson plan. You’ll spend time moving along Putah Creek and practicing each adjustment as you go. Quality gear and lunch are included, so you can concentrate on the water and the finer points of your technique. It’s a focused way to keep developing your skills without expecting every cast to produce a fish.

Beyond the Basics: Fine-Tune Your Approach to Wild Trout

The walk-and-wade format brings your family close to the water, where a guide can offer hands-on instruction and help everyone practice casting.
