Default Fly fishing course

Hey everyone, I'm looking to get into fly fishing this year and was hoping to take some courses for casting and the basics.

Does anyone know of a fly fishing course in or around the Lethbridge area?

Thanks

Your best bet is to always hit the local fly shops and ask.

Check if the Crowsnest Angler or the other shop in the pass offers anything?
Best bet might be to head up to Cow Town

i learned to cast at the fly fishing seminar at spruce meadows it could be worth a shot lots of knowledge and gear you could probably get your rod there and learn tons

Almost all of the fly shops in Calgary offer a Beginners and a Intermediate classes; I would also check out Jim McClennan's site, I know he offers classes down in the Crowsnest Pass area.

Have you checked with the Wholesale Sports in Lethbridge? Maybe someone in the fishing department may know who you can contact for your area

Check out Jim and Linda McClennan's workshop its a heck of a course and you defenetly get your moneies worth! Also check out the upcoming fly fishing expo at Spruce Meadows in Calgary a wealth of info. While here pick up a hatching guide book from one of the local shops. I personally prefer Country pleasures.

Check with the college in Lethbridge. They've held fly-fishing and casting courses there in the past. Lethbridge also has a fly-fishing club you could check out, and maybe connect with other fly-fishers...
