Introductory Fly Fishing Courses.

During Autumn and Winter we run introductory courses for newcomers wanting to learn fly fishing.  The courses take place near Buxton,  around 90 minutes drive from Melbourne, in the picturesque Yarra Ranges.

You can book tickets at our online store – Book Tickets.  Or Buy Gift Vouchers.

If you have a private group, or these dates don’t suit, we can organise a course one to align with your availability.  – Arrange your own Course.

Fly fishing may seem to be a difficult and complicated way to catching fish (it is a bit).  These courses are designed to de-mystify fly fishing and provide an opportunity to learn, in a relaxed and engaging half day course. Each course is limited to a maximum 4 participants per instructor. This ensures that you receive sufficient attention from your instructor.

The day begins at 10:30 with an interactive overview to help you understand this artful fishing:  A little history, and simple explanations with plenty of time to ask questions. We will quickly move to practical group casting lesson which is led by a qualified casting instructor. We will soon have you casting, helping you understand the fundamentals that will allow you improve more quickly.
