National Orvis FF201: Learn to Fly Fish on the Water

When you are ready for the next step, having completed our FF101 class, either at Orvis Stockbridge or one of our national events, you are eligible to participate in our FF201 hosted excursion to a beautiful stillwater, and the chance to catch your first fish on the fly!

Our FF201 session includes:

• safety,
• choosing tackle and flies,
• fish habitat,
• entomology (the science of insects),
• knot tying,
• fishing etiquette,
• how to read the water,
• how to cast,
• how to play, land, and release a fish.

Lunch is not provided so please bring a packed lunch and any drinks you may need for the day with you, along with a hat and sunglasses (polarised are recommended) and weather-appropriate clothing. We also recommend bringing waterproofs and suncream in case either is needed.
