Fly-fishing is too often perceived by newcomers to the sport as being time-consuming and difficult to learn.
Here at Fly Gal it is our mission to open the hearts and eyes to aspiring fly-fishers and evolving students of the sport.
Our Workshops range from fly-casting, fly-fishing and fly-tying.
From the first-time fly-fisher, to the seasoned angler looking to rid themselves of bad habits or advance, all skill levels are welcome. We even offer Parent/Children events (see under our co-ed workshops).
Every student is different and we are always eager to adapt our lessons accordingly in order to ensure that each new fly-fisher leaves us confident and eager to hit the river solo.
Our schools travel throughout the world so check to see if there's a school near you!

Our Co-Ed Learn to Fly-Cast Workshops are designed to introduce and teach the pure fundamentals of fly-casting.
From the first-timer, to the seasoned angler looking to rid themselves of bad habits, all skill levels are welcome.
Most of our courses are dry-land (free from distraction) classes that take no more than 4 hours to complete, while many of our workshops are designed as weekend getaways that last several days.
