The Fishin Hole puts on classes every few monrhs. You could also try calling the Edmonton fly tiers club. If you find a good deal let me know, I need to get some good insruction too.

okay.

getin touch with Norhtern Lights Fly Tying club. they put on classes every so often but it might be too late in the season for any new classes. website is nlft.org

also check with The Fishin Hole or The Fishing Centre on 82 st to see if they are offering any classes or know of anyone putting on classes nearby.

most of the classes are in May or early June so there might not be too many classes in summer.

also can check with Docs website http://www.freewebs.com/flyfish-edmonton/index.htm and see if he gives lessons or nows of anyone locally.

Is he looking for a fly fishing clinic or fly casting lessons? If he wants a clinic I offer a one-on-one introduction to stillwater fly fishing clinic.

AlbertaStillwaters.Com

Cheers,
Doc

Default Calgary

In Calgary there's a guy in the fishing department at WS who offers to take beginners to the river for a few hours and get them started (casting, knots, water reading, fly selection) for a hundred bucks or so on his days off.

I went to getting skunked nightly on the bow to actually catching fish on just about every outing after watching this.....watch this video
You can pick it up at wholesale sports in calgary for like 15 bucks.

BUMP!

Would love to get into Fly Fishing this summer and live in the Peace Region. Would be great if there were somewhere closer to learn.
Thnx
