The Orvis Company is partnering with Fly Fishing Outfitters and the Lodge & Spa at Cordillera on a two day fly fishing school. The school is the only
one of its kind in the Rocky Mountain region and joins the other 13 nationally recognized Orvis Fly Fishing schools throughout the country. The school is operated by Fly Fishing Outfitters, a locally owned and operated Orvis endorsed guide service and retail store and two time Orvis Endorsed Outfitter of the Year. For the 2010 season classes are being held from mid-June to mid-October at the Lodge at Cordillera in Edwards, Colorado. Cordillera is an ideal location for the school due to its access to both fishing ponds and almost two miles of private water on the Eagle River.
Whether you are a total beginner or have been fly fishing for many years, the Colorado Orvis Fly Fishing School can handle all levels of experience. With a 4:1 student to instructor ratio, students are assured of plenty of individual, specialized attention.
The school covers everything you need to know to be a skilled fisherman including fly casting with video analysis, technical information on lines, rods and reels, hands-on knot tying, stream entomology, choosing and fishing flies, hook-setting and fish-fighting techniques, safely landing and releasing fish, and reading water.
The cost of the 2-day school is $470 and Orvis is running a special right now where you can bring a friend for half price. Spots are filling up fast so if you want to register go to: www.orvis.com or call 866-531-6213.
