    FlyFishing Courses presenting the "Learn How To Fly Fish" program are presented in South Dakota during the summer months.  Held in beautiful Spearfish Canyon of the Black Hills, the area offers a diversity of trout streams, creeks and lakes and a scenic backdrop for attendees.

    Accommodations are available for students in Lead, Deadwood or the surrounding area in the historic northern Hills.  Within 30 minutes drive are some of the very fine Brown, Rainbow and Brook Trout angling opportunities of the midwest.  Streams are very "angler-friendly".  They are classic, coldwater, mostly dry-fly waters, that are easily wadeable by the single fly fisher, and are refreshingly uncrowded.  We enjoy access under special use permit with the Black Hills National Forest.

    Combined with a "world class" array of complimentary activities and points of interest (notably among them the Mount Rushmore National Monument), this location bundles together opportunities that will meet all family needs.  Regular sessions cover 2 or 3 full days, with exposure to both stream and lake fly fishing.  Many participants extend their stays to allow ample time to enjoy this beautiful, resource-rich area.

     These courses are arranged for a maximum of 8 students.  Non-registered family members are welcomed.  Courses headquarter in Spearfish Canyon.  A variety of indoor and outdoor "classrooms" make use of the many streams, creeks and small ponds in the immediate area.  Your instructors are Dana Cole, founder of The School of FlyFishing & his daughter, Katie Cole.

    There are at a variety of resort-type lodging accommodations, with varying price structures, available in the immediate area.  Contact us about lodging options most suitable to your needs.  Abundant restaurant options are available nearby in the Deadwood/Lead/Spearfish area.
