Fly Fishing School
LEARN FROM EXPERIENCED INSTRUCTORS
Our instructional staff is headed by Federation of Fly Fishers Casting Instructors Board of Governors member John Van Dalen. The manager of Little Forks Outfitters, John has been introducing anglers to the sport of fly fishing for over thirty-five years. John will be joined by well-known author and expert angler Bob Linsenman and other experienced fly casting instructors. Groups are limited so everyone gets personal attention from the instructional staff. Emphasis is on learning in a relaxed and fun setting.
TEST YOUR SKILLS ON THE AUSABLE
Our schools are conducted in the Mio & Lewiston, Michigan areas, right in the heart of the AuSable river country. Some of the best trout fishing in the mid-west can be had here, and we will be spending some instruction time on the fabled AuSable, as well as private stocked trout ponds. You will gain experience in actual fishing conditions, as well as intensive personal casting instruction. You will enjoy the thrill and satisfaction of learning the art of fly angling, with easy access to all three branches of the AuSable.
Orvis rods and reels will be provided for your use in class, as well as a selection of flies to try out your new skills!
