I have taught fly fishing classes at Ramsey Outdoor stores in NJ. I have also taught with the B.O.W. Programs in N.J (Bringing women to the outdoors) In their freshwater and Saltwater programs. I have taught and guided independently freshwater and saltwater for 12 years .. Having a class room out of my truckcamper with 4 wheel drive there isn't too many places that are unreachable for me....just affording the gas seems to be the big issue!.
I am now teaching flyfishing and fly-tying classes in Greentown PA. I offer a basic fly fishing class for 3 1/2 hours $145.00
with that fee you will learn how to cast, what kind of equipment to use, rods, reels, lines, waders, shoes,and how to tie knots. also what flies to you for the type of fish you want to catch

For a full day of flyfishing ..where I take you out on a local stream and teach you more indepth on how to read water, and learn what flies to use the type of casts that will help you catch fish and not trees and, to give you a better understanding of the enviorment that you are fishing in $250.00 for the day
