Customized Schools

Any of the schools and workshops can be set for your group, whether relatives, friends, or colleagues in the workplace. The times and places are of your choosing, and Dan will set rates to match your goals and budgets. Call (720) 312-2523 to discuss your fly fishing and casting learning plans.

Fly Fishing Goals
Our fundamental approach to teaching casting and fly fishing is by doing. We do not deliver fly fishing concepts on paper, we teach them by practical application.

Rainbow Reflection

Yes, we'll understand and learn the logic of both casting and fishing. But, the terminology and insight you'll need will be taught and remembered from "the hands up." Meaning, no memorization of abstractions, just learning to repeat what we'll correctly do together.
