Iron Bow 1 Day Beginner Fly Fishing School
Iron Bow Fly Fishing 1 day beginner fly fishing schools are by far our most popular workshops. With over 30 years of teaching and guiding experience, our instructors love what they do and have introduced thousands of novice anglers to the fundamentals of fly fishing. So whether you are a husband and wife, father and son, friends or just on your own, let us introduce you to the sport of a lifetime.
One Day classes are broken down into a comfortable mixture of classroom time, personalized casting instruction and strategy lectures. With the large amount of information covered during the day, we feel that a low student to teacher ratio is important, making sure all students get personalized attention while in a comfortable relaxed atmosphere.
