Instructors: John Juracek, Brant Oswald, Pat McCabe, Steve McFarland & Todd Tanner. (If you’re not familiar with our instructors, be sure to take a look at our instructor’s page.)
Curriculum: This class focuses on every important aspect of dry fly fishing. We’ll be outside all day long and the Henry’s Fork will be our primary classroom for the Dry Fly class. We’ll teach you how to spot and stalk rising trout, we’ll cover various water types and situations, we’ll do a deep dive into dry fly casts, techniques and presentations, and we’ll look at various dry fly options when the trout aren’t rising. If you’re already a passionate angler and you can’t wait to take your dry fly fishing to the next level, this is the class for you.
Lodging: Our students will stay in comfortable rooms at TroutHunter. Double occupancy rooms are standard. As long as space is available, we’ll offer the option of upgrading to single occupancy rooms for an additional fee.
Food: All meals at the class are included. Students will order from TroutHunter's stellar Last Chance Grill menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Drink: We'll be serving beer & wine with dinner. There is also a cash bar available for those who choose to partake in other alcoholic beverages.
Gear: We recommend that students bring the fishing gear they plan to use in the future, as we can help them become more familiar with their equipment. We will provide a list of recommended gear and equipment, while rods, reels, packs, lines, waders, etc. are available for purchase at TroutHunter. We can also provide rods & reels for use during the class, if necessary.
Travel: Students are responsible for the cost of travel to and from Last Chance, Idaho. The closest airport is in Idaho Falls, Idaho, which is approximately a one hour and 15 minute drive away.
Cost: Cost for the class will be $6,950 per person, double occupancy. That includes the entire class curriculum, along with lodging & meals at TroutHunter.
Not Included: Students are responsible for purchasing their own fishing licenses, any alcohol beyond the beer and wine included with dinner, and their travel expenses. We also expect our students to tip the hardworking and conscientious TroutHunter staff who serve our meals and clean our rooms.
Recommended Items: We will send students a full list of what they'll need for the class upon their acceptance.
Prerequisites: We don’t have prerequisites for this class. Still, please keep in mind that the Dry Fly class is designed specifically for anglers who’d like to improve their dry fly skills and enjoy more success on the water. We won’t be covering nymphs, wet flies or streamers in this particular class.
Cancellation Policy: We require half of the cost of the class as a deposit when a student is accepted. Until that deposit is received, a spot at the class is neither confirmed nor guaranteed. The remainder of the tuition is due on or before June 1st. All payments, including deposits, are nonrefundable unless the School of Trout is able to secure a replacement to fill the spot at the class. If a replacement is found, SOT will offer a full refund, less a 10% cancellation fee. While we will work to find a replacement in the event of a cancellation, we can not guarantee that we will be able to do so. As a result, we recommend that everyone who is accepted for a class purchases trip insurance that covers their costs in the event of a cancellation or another problem.
