These can be anything from Hot dogs and hamburgers and open fire homemade meas in a bag to Steak and Lobster and even many different ethnic foods including Indian, Thai, and German.

As for the classes, we will go over the basics with you right there where it all happens. All the content covered in the regular Fly Fishing classes will be covered in this class. The student will have the advantage of being at the water to check out the bugs and have them explained and shown how to fish them. This will be done over a 3 day period (Including Travel to and from location) and will consist of two full days of instruction with ample time on the water to test what you have learned.
