Flyfishing
in Stillwaters Class NEW!
Taught by Kevin W.
Erickson
Learn the best
tackle to have , most effective angling techniques and how
to safely and successfully flyfish in any stillwater. Our
class provides a total of 10 hours of instruction .
The
first session is held at River City Fly Shop and consists
of a two-hour lesson Wednesday evening 6:30 to 8:30pm to prepare you for your day on the
water in the next lesson.
The second lesson
is the following Saturday and entails a half
day from noon to dusk on the water at a local
private stillwater fishery, Red Hills Lake.
Since
it is held on private water, no fishing license is
needed. - so this is a great way to learn about
stillwater flyfishing when traveling though the
area or to give the sport a try yourself or as a
special gift for the new angler.
In the first session at the shop, we will discuss
Tackle
including rods, reels, varied fly
lines to have, leaders and much more.
The basics of
stillwater entomology and other food sources
Fishing strategies for both surface and
subsurface presentations
Timing and what
stages of the insects are important to the fish.
Flies to have and when and how to use them.
The half day at the
lake will be a fun time to catch a lifetime's worth of
learning as well as a good chance to hook a few fish as
well. We will start out with a casting instruction and then
get geared up and start practicing in a real-life
situation what we covered in theory in the first lesson.
We will mix both wading and float tube/pontoon boat
fishing. during the day we will take breaks for time to
cover a variety of topics. These include:
"Reading"
the water and what water types and depth to fish.
The
impact of different seasons and time of day.
Fishing
techniques for stationary fishing and while moving.
Retrieval
methods and speeds for different fly styles.
Setup
and approach when fishing Chironomids (midges) at

much, much more.
