2026 Fly Fishing Clinic - Everyone Welcome!
If you have ever wanted to learn to fly fish or polish up your skills, Kelly Creek Flycasters has the solution for you. The Clinic is now open for anyone wanting to learn. It features a combination of casting instruction along with classroom sessions on the different aspects of fly fishing including:
Fly fishing equipment and clothes
Entomology (what bugs fish eat)
Flies (to imitate those bugs and more) and knots
Reading the water (where fish are likely to be)
Following 3 weeks of one night per week casting and classroom instruction, you will have a chance to try out your new found skills on the water when you attend the weekend camping / fishing trip at Washington Creek campground on the North Fork of the Clearwater River. You will fish with a mentor who will help you put into practice your new found skills and hopefully catch and release your first fish on a fly!
