Ready to step up your fly fishing game?

For $140, you get personal instruction, all the gear you need, and the kind of hands-on learning that'll have you talking about this trip for months. Whether you're brand new to streamers or looking to dial in your technique, this focused session gives you everything you need to start catching fish like a pro.
This isn't your typical group lesson – you get one-on-one time with a guide who's spent years perfecting streamer tactics on local waters. We'll meet right on the riverbank where the fish are holding, and you'll be casting within minutes of arrival. The beauty of a 2-hour focused session is we skip the fluff and get straight to what works. Your guide will size up the conditions, pick the right flies, and put you on productive water where you can actually practice what you're learning. All rods, reels, flies, and tackle are included, so you just need to show up ready to learn. The intimate setting means your guide can watch every cast, offer real-time feedback, and adjust techniques based on what the fish are telling us that day.
Streamer fishing is all about reading water and making your fly look alive – and that's exactly what we'll focus on during your session. You'll learn the fundamentals of streamer presentation: how to cast across current, control your swing, and add the kind of action that triggers aggressive strikes from big trout. We'll cover different retrieve styles, from slow strips that mimic injured baitfish to fast, erratic pulls that get territorial fish fired up. Your guide will show you how to fish different water types – from deep pools where browns like to lurk to fast runs where rainbows ambush prey. We use quality rods matched to the conditions, typically 6 or 7-weight setups that can handle larger flies and give you the backbone to fight strong fish. The flies we use depend on the season and water conditions, but expect to throw everything from woolly buggers to sculpin patterns that imitate the forage fish these trout feed on daily.
Brown trout are the prize catch on these waters, and for good reason – they're smart, aggressive, and absolutely beautiful fish. Browns love streamers because they trigger their predatory instincts. These fish can grow substantial in our river system, with fish in the 16-20 inch range being caught regularly, and the occasional monster pushing well beyond that. Browns are most active during low light periods, but a well-presented streamer can pull them out of deep cover even during midday. They're ambush predators that hide along undercut banks, behind boulders, and in deep pools, waiting for something tasty to swim by. When a brown hits your streamer, you'll know it – they strike hard and fight with surprising strength for their size.
Rainbow trout bring a different kind of excitement to streamer fishing. These fish are more aggressive feeders than browns and often hit flies with reckless abandon. Rainbows in our local waters typically run 12-18 inches, with their silver sides and pink stripe making them one of the most beautiful fish you'll ever land. They prefer faster water than browns and are often found in runs and riffles where they can easily intercept drifting food. What makes rainbows special is their acrobatic fighting style – expect jumps, runs, and aerial displays that'll get your heart racing. They're also more willing to feed during bright conditions, making them perfect targets for streamer techniques throughout the day.

Tylosurus AcusBrown trout are the smart fighters that keep you honest. These golden-brown beauties typically run 8-24 inches and love cool, clear water around 54-65°F. You'll find them tucked under cut banks, around fallen timber, or in deep pools during the day. Fall's your best bet when they feed aggressively at night, especially near structure. What makes them special? They're incredibly wary and put up a serious fight once hooked. The meat's excellent too - firm and mild. Here's a tip that works: during our streamer sessions, cast upstream of cover and let your fly drift naturally past their hiding spots. Browns often strike right as the streamer swings away from structure.
Oncorhynchus MykissRainbow trout are pure joy on the line. These silver-bodied fish with that signature pink stripe average 8-24 inches and thrive in fast-moving, cold water. Look for them in gravelly runs, below riffles, and near vegetation where insects gather. Late evening and early morning are prime time, especially during spring and fall. What sets them apart? Their acrobatic jumps and sudden bursts of speed make every hookup exciting. Plus, the pink flesh tastes fantastic. Pro tip for our streamer sessions: focus on current seams where fast water meets slow. Rainbows hang there waiting for food to drift by, and a well-presented streamer triggers aggressive strikes.
