Streamer Workshop

Northern California Waters - Yuba River

We are proud to offer workshops to help our guests hone their angling skills with hands-on and on-the-water training in a friendly atmosphere.

Our workshops are like a fly-fishing mini-camp. Each student will enjoy personalized instruction to reinforce fundamental fly fishing skills and expand your angling knowledge.

These workshops include instruction on rigging and presentation, in a hands-on experience on the water.

Streamer Workshop

Streamer fishing is a forgotten art, even though people like Joe Brooks and Kelley Gallop have perfected the technique of fishing streamers for big fish. Learning these secrets will produce more fish and generate a greater understanding of the sport of fly fishing.

Many fly fishers know how to high stick a nymph or drift a Royal Wulff in pocket water, but fishing with streamers is much more. Streamer fishing is a collective technique incorporating all others; the technique uses dead drift, swing, and stripping tactics that are intermingled to anger big fish into striking. It’s a true art that once mastered – provides another effective tool for any intermediate angler. Using streamer techniques and landing big fish is what this workshop is all about.
