I had an outstanding experience with Darrel, a guide with Fly Fishing Outfitters. We fished one afternoon in March on the Eagle River, and I was impressed with Darrel's instruction and coaching while nymph fishing with 6x tippet. I ended the day catching (and releasing) a rainbow close to three pounds!

The 2-day Orvis fly fishing class was outstanding. Every facet of the class was professionally conducted. The instructor, Hunter, was very knowledgeable and provided excellent instruction, in class, in the field and on the water. I highly recommend anyone interested in learning the sport to start here.
