We Only Do one Thing at The School of Trout ... but we do it exceedingly well. 

We bring together the planet's most respected fly fishing instructors to share their experiences, their knowledge, their passion, and their accumulated wisdom with our students.  

We have a simple goal.  If you attend one of our classes, we want you to walk away feeling confident that you have the necessary skills to succeed on any trout stream you might fish.    

We should be clear.  The School of Trout is not for everyone.  There are any number of fly fishers who are happy to spend $750 per day on a guide, and to sit in a drift boat and fish nymphs under a bobber until the cows come home.  That's not us. We believe there's far more to fly fishing, and we prefer students who are engaged and curious and excited about their time on the water; who are enthralled by the prospect of immersing themselves in the natural world, and who are eager to learn and grow.

That's why our instructors aren't just expert fly fishermen.  They're also writers and photographers and artists and naturalists.  We can give you the tools to succeed at the same time we help you open your eyes to an incredible new world.  

If that sounds appealing, then consider applying for a spot at one of our upcoming 2025 classes.

You can also ask us to design a personal or group class to meet your specific needs.
