Description

Learn the basics of fly fishing in a three-day intensive seminar in the ancient forest of Opal Creek. Guided by Jeffry Gottfried of Educational Recreational Adventures, an experienced fly fishing instructor, licensed guide and naturalist, you will learn to flycast, tie basic knots, identify aquatic insects and their life cycles, and select and tie the proper fly. Put your new skills to immediate use as you fish for wild native rainbow trout in the beautiful Little North Fork of the Santiam, Battle Axe Creek, Opal Creek and Opal Lake. All fly fishing gear necessary for the seminar will be supplied by ERA. In addition to standard western fly fishing, participants will also gain skills and experience in tenkara, traditional Japanese fly fishing. If you want to make a quantum leap in your fly fishing skills, this is the program for you.
