The North Shore of Lake Superior provides some highly prized fly fishing opportunities--ranging from fly fishing the streams for native brook trout, steelhead and coasters, to fly fishing the inland lakes of the BWCAW for rainbow and lake trout, smallmouth bass and pike. This course is designed both for the beginner and the experienced fly fisherman. The student will learn proper equipment, knots, casting techniques, tactics for streams, and identifying fish food sources and matching them with flies. There will also be extensive instruction in the flies and tactics used in all still water fishing, as well as those specific to the North Shore. The course begins each day with a classroom session. The class then moves outdoors to apply the skills in a series of on-the-water field sessions on local “honey holes” where the students will usually catch trout. The course is designed not only to teach the skills necessary for fly fishing the North Shore, but to also provide a good foundation for fly fishing anywhere. Course materials provided by the instructors will include fly tippet, a sink tip head, backing, a leader, a dozen flies, and some other useful gear.
