Cost and Class Size

Students and professionals alike have told us that CSF's Introduction to Flyfishingis a terrific bargain and a great way to learn the art of flyfishing. For a very modest fee, students receive the day-long course, a course handbook, various teaching aids and refreshments, including lunch and coffee and doughnuts throughout the day. In order to provide the best possible learning environment, space is limited to 40 students and is filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Non-members are welcome.

What You Need to Bring

If you have your own tackle, be sure to bring it along. There is no better way to become familiar with your equipment than to use it under the guidance of skilled instructors. If you do not yet own any fishing gear, we make every effort to provide equipment to each student registered for the class. 
 

Bonus Day

On the day following the class, CSF hosts a free Casting Clinic that is open to members and non-members. More one-on-one instruction is given to participants by a FFF master instructor aided by CSF's cadre of volunteer instructors. Single-handed and two-handed techniques are covered. It is a perfect way for beginners to receive extra help with their casting and learn the basic techniques in more detail.
