Trout Academy
April 20-21 & June 8-9, 2019

Have you ever considered learning to fly fish, but were overwhelmed by its apparent complexity? If so, Tight Lines has the solution for you.

A 1/2 day guided wade trip at the end of day 1 will get you comfortable with the "classroom" knowledge you learned in the a.m.  The second day will be your on the water final exam where your newly learned skills will be put to the test!
