Absolutely. Fly Fish Estes Park tailors every trip to the skill level and goals of each angler. Beginners are welcome on all guided trips — the 2-hour and 4-hour trips are especially well suited for first-timers.

 

Standalone fly-fishing lessons are also available on Lake Estes. The beginner lesson covers:

 

– Knot tying and rigging techniques

– Basic entomology and fly identification

– Casting and presentation methods

– Reading the river and locating fish

– Hatch charts and fly ID reference sheets to take home

 

All lessons are conducted outdoors on the water (not in a classroom), with all gear provided.
