The School of FlyFishing uses a textbook in teaching its Outdoor Courses.  Entitled, "Learn How To Fly Fish: Student Handbook: A Guide To The Fundamentals of Fly Fishing", it was written by Dana C. Cole, Director of The School of FlyFishing.  This same information is available as a digital companion on DVD-ROM.  Students use this comprehensive tool as a handy reference to guide them on a consistent pathway to learning the fundamentals of how to fly fish and well beyond.  Written in a simple, easy-to-follow style, each chapter or course is a step-by-step building block to succeeding subjects.
