Are you interested in the journey that is fly fishing? Do you want to learn techniques that have taken our guides years to master?
The Cutthroat Wading Academy will give you all the skills necessary to start an adventure that will last a lifetime. This course will put a minimum of 25 years of trout catching experience at your disposal during all four days of instruction. The science and physics of fly fishing can seem overwhelming. Let our instructors provide you with a solid foundation in all aspects of angling with a fly rod. You'll leave confident that you can catch fish in all sorts of river scenarios.
Our wade fishing academy is an in-depth and thorough course, covering all the skills required to stalk, locate, and catch trout. Each day will include diverse opportunities, including 1 day at a private ranch in South Park. We'll also learn the science behind trout and their feeding behavior. There's not always a trout in every spot, but learning to identify prime trout lies will help you find the ones with fish in them and spend more time in "fishy" water.
