This shouldn't be your first time rigging a rod, casting, or attempting to catch fish. Ideally, you should come to this course equipped with basic fly fishing skills like casting, tying knots, fly/bug identification, fish identification, and conservation. If you have taken Glacier Anglers’ Fly Fishing School Level 1, you’re likely ready to take Level 2.

We’ll fish for trout on 5 and 6 weight rods, mostly with floating line. We will be nymphing, dry fly fishing and streamer fishing. We will provide all terminal tackle and flies. We recommend bringing your own 5 or 6 weight rod and reel. However, we can provide a rod and reel if needed. We’ll send a full equipment and packing list after registration.
