"Dana
& Katie made this trip. They made me feel welcome from the start.
Their easy going manner, darling senses of humor and incredible
knowledge was more than I asked for. All in a spectacular setting.
I am a lucky person indeed."

Courses in southwestern Montana are held at Canyon Creek
Ranch, a remote, full service guest ranch located 54 miles south of Butte. The
ranch is secluded at the end of the road, nearly an hour from the nearest highway, at the
foot of 10,000' Sheriff Mountain.
This high quality guest ranch is situated on Canyon Creek, a
trout-filled mountain stream that flows through the ranch to the world famous, "Blue
Ribbon" Big Hole River. Students/guests stay in private creekside log
cottages. This historic guest ranch has a unique variety of fishing,
horseback riding and outdoor activities ideal for the entire family.
The famous "Salmon Fly Hatch" starts us out for the first 2-3 weeks in June. Floatfishing during this emergence of the largest member of the stonefly family may offer some of the best angling of the year. These are 3 day schools, with 1 day "classroom" and 2 days floatfishing education.
Thereafter, we offer a broader range of activities. In late June, over 4 days, attendees have ample time to improve their fly fishing by floatfishing the Big Hole or Beaverhead Rivers; by stream, creek & meadow wadefishing; and gain alpine lake fly fishing skills at one or more of 6 "top of the mountain" alpine lakes. Brown, Rainbow, Cutthroat and Brook Trout are abundant, and the rare Montana Grayling is also found in the pure waters of the storied upper Big Hole. This course promises to give your western trout fly fishing career a major head start.

Dana Cole, founder of The School of FlyFishing, and his daughter, Katie Cole, are your tutors for these sessions. Schools include 4-5 night's lodging & meals; and 3-4 days of learning.
