Independent Angler Workshop
The Independent Angler workshop is designed to enhance your fly fishing abilities and boost your confidence on the water. This workshop is structured based on the expectation that attendees already have a foundational understanding of fly fishing equipment. Please ensure you come prepared, as we will only be covering tippet, leaders, and flies during the workshop. Before the event, participants can view the pre-recorded online sessions “Intro to Fly Fishing” and “Reading Trout Water”. These resources will better equip you for the practical session. No equipment is required for the workshop.
For those seeking on-water instruction on Saturday afternoon, guides are available through Headwaters Outfitters. To book your guide, please contact them at (828) 877-3106.
