When you make the decision to get your hands on a fly rod, you will wonder why it took so long to pick one up. It is relaxing, yet heart-pounding, detailed, yet beautifully simple. Challenging, yet rewarding, and whether you’re wandering up a high country stream or with your toes buried in the sand, you do a ‘brilliant’ cast and you will instantly realize why you fly fish. It’s not all about the fish, it’s about testing yourself, and in some of the most stunning locations in the world… the fish are just a bonus.

Part 1: Fly Casting.  A great beginner’s course, 1 1/2 hours in a group learning format is allocated to give you a fundamental understanding, the techniques, and procedures needed to learn a good fly casting stroke.

Part 2: The opportunity to fish on the stocked dam at The Alpine Trout Farm, we touch on the differences in flies, fish reactions and what we are aiming to achieve over today… and the rest of your fly fishing years!

We explain the dynamics of the trout stream or lake in terms of the likely places to find fish, where they will be sitting in the water and explain why. We cover the different food sources that live both in and around the river that we represent with the different fly patterns. We call on all the wisdom we imparted in Part 1 of the course and get you on the water and fishing to the inhabitants, both brown and rainbow trout, and you’re on your way.

$99 with all equipment provided. Sessions 9.00am-12.30 or 1-4.30pm. Held at the Alpine trout farm, in Noojee, this is a great stepping stone for the Emerger or Explorer courses. Give the shop a call and we can sort out dates for you to start your journey into flyfishing.

  1. David –

    We organised this to be our staff Christmas Party, best day ever, so much fun, and a brilliant bus ride home! Can’t speak highly enough about the day.

  2. Peter Walker (verified owner) –

    Purchase process went smoothly except for some confusion with the instruction: ‘For all Gift Vouchers-Please select “Store Pick-Up” at Checkout and there will be no shipping charge.’ My wife wanted to purchase my participation in the course and, assuming it was a Gift Voucher, we were both confused by the instruction. A phone call to the store clarified this and the voucher/gift card was e-mailed.

  4. Jim Keever –

    I took our whole family and I think the girls loved it even more than us! I wonder what I have created now! Looking forward to spending time with the whole family on the water from now on.
    Many thanks Stu for organising the day, it was brilliant.

    Really fun

  8. Sam Glenn –

    I should have done this years ago instead of trying to work it out myself and wasting two years. The best hundred bucks I have ever spent.

    Hi. Due to Covid-19 I haven’t had the First Fly Cast Fishing Course. However. I had very good experience at the store. Stuart helped me with fly line selection. Put backing on my new reel. Filled the reel with the new fly line. Then set up the line with the leader and tippet. I walked out thing I will be back.

    It was such a fun day out learning the basics of fly fishing. Mark, Locky and Tommy were all so knowledgeable and helpful and provided such a wonderful experience for all of us. Although I didn’t catch a fish on the day but it was definitely worth it and I look forward to doing more fly fishing as a new hobby. Thanks guys!
