The School of FlyFishing "First Fish" Archives . . . this page is a "work in progress", begun in 2008. 

The Archives is a photo gallery of students of the School that we have been able to photocapture with their first fish, or first of a species, on a fly.  As an acknowledgement of their accomplishment, current honorees receive a School hat displaying the fly they used in making their historic catch.
