Fly Fishing Schools/Clinics
Fly Fishing Fundamentals for Stillwater

Location: Hyde Lake, Yamsi Ranch, Chiloquin, Oregon
Date: Saturday, June 19, and Sept 11
Fees: The fee is $150.00.

This clinic is designed for those anglers wanting to expand their knowledge and learn the basic techniques for fly fishing stillwater.

The site of this one day outing is Hyde Lake, part of the Yamsi Ranch, located on the world famous Williamson River. Hyde Lake supports a large population of 18-24 inch, 3-6 pound overly aggressive rainbows. This is an excellent, lightly fished stillwater opportunity.

This lake is so consistent, I'm hesitant to make it sound like a slam dunk, but it's close. These big fish will take a lot of patterns, but it all comes down to presentation. For you guys that like to fish light tippets, leave them at home. I use a 12 foot leader with 1 or 2X fluorocarbon tippet and I'll average 20-30 fish without break-offs. These are trout with a bad disposition when hooked and pull very, very hard. You will love that battle they offer after being hooked.

All areas of the stillwater challenge will be covered in depth with emphasis on lines, fly patterns, retrieves, fish locations and depths, along with the most common errors anglers make fishing stillwater.

Note: Float tubes or pontoon boats are recommended.
