National Orvis FF101: Learn to Fly Fish at one of our National Events
As a way to give back to the rivers around us, we have added a £5 charitable donation to each booking. 100% of this donation will go to support Anglers Against Pollution.
FF101 classes introduce modern fly-fishing to absolute beginners, or anyone returning to fly-fishing after a break. This 60-90 minute class is theory-based learning and fly line casting outside.
FF101 classes are aimed at anyone interested in learning about fly fishing and looking how to get started, or as a refresher for anyone wanting to get back into the sport. It's the perfect way to introduce family and friends to an adventure you can enjoy together.
