Here at Mad River Outfitters and the Midwest Fly Fishing Schools, education is the cornerstone of our business. Not only do we sell the stuff, we teach you how to use it.
For nearly 25 years now, head instructor and MRO founder Brian Flechsig has been teaching a FREE Beginners Program here in the shop. This is a two hour program that we offer many times a season and it always draws a big crowd. The program is designed to help you take the mystery out of getting started in the sport. We always say that we can take 5 years off of your learning curve in those two hours.
In the program, Brian clears up some of the common mis-conceptions about fly fishing and also then breaks down the 6 basic things that you need to understand.
Those 6 things are:
1. The Fly Rod
2. The Fly Reel
3. The Fly Line System- backing, fly line and leader
4. Flies- the basics
5. Accessories
6. Water (with fish in it)
But.....what if you can't get to Columbus, Ohio to attend the program?
Here you go-
