Casting Lessons
If you are looking to get just a hint of what fly fishing is all about, consider a casting lesson. Animas Valley Anglers offers individual casting lessons and instruction. Lessons cover: line control, casting, basic knots and other entry level information.

This is a great way to get a feel for the sport and start you on the path of fly fishing. Casting lessons are also a good idea before you take one of our regional guide trips. However, our guide trips include casting instruction for first-timers and novice anglers.

Casting lessons can be booked year-round. During the busiest times of the guide season (March through October) casting lessons will be available based on guide and instructor availability. Evenings and mornings maybe the only available times. Call or e-mail for more info. e-mail message
