301 Reading Water: 2 Day Event

Reading a Trout Stream; Strategies for Locating Trout

This course teaches the angler how to prepare for different water, read different currents and structures to find trout, approach specific sections of water and adjust a fly fishing rig accordingly in order to successfully find and catch trout in a variety of moving water environments. It is truly rewarding when you can put the puzzle pieces together to “spot” a trout without seeing it. Classroom topics  will include: trip research, trout behavior, anatomy of a trout stream, fly fishing rig construction and adjustment and scenarios for approaching and fishing specific water structure and current. Streamside topics will include: specific examples of structure and current taught in the classroom portion of the course, approach and fishing techniques, and interactive stream dissection to identify likely holding areas for trout.

This course is a two part course consisting of a two hour classroom session on Friday followed by a four hour-on stream session on Saturday morning.
