One Day Introductory and Novice Fly Fishing Schools
Fly fishing is a
marvelous blend of form and function, and the late casting instructor,
Mel
Krieger, often referred to students as “engineers or poets,” according to
how they best learned.
Fly
fishing combines an intellectual understanding of how the equipment works
with a
sensory perception of how it feels to cast a line with a rod.
This is why fly fishing is
best taught through a combination of classroom
sessions (the engineer’s component) and
casting sessions (the poet's component). Our Introductory Schools do just that.
The schools are taught with the
McLennans' proven method, which has helped
thousands of fly fishers over the
past two decades.
