The Blue Quill Angler is extremely pleased to be able to offer such a valuable course at an incredible price. During the winter season the private water fees drop dramatically and that creates an affordable opportunity to fish some of the best water in the state of Colorado. Winter is an ideal time to improve on your nymph fishing skills because the trout are finicky and will only accept the perfect presentation.

Students in this course will enjoy the wonders of sight fishing to large trout, many over twenty inches, on the private waters of the North Fork of the South Platte River. North Fork Guest Ranch, Boxwood Gulch, and Longmeadow are all managed trophy trout fisheries that are home to great populations of healthy rainbows, cutthroats, and browns. Each ranch provides students with the opportunity to seek refuge from the cold and warm up in the heated commons area.

This course is designed and offered only to the intermediate and advanced fly fisher. Students can expect a less formal environment than that of our other classes and need to be self-sufficient on the river. A seasoned instructor will share with the students their expertise, teaching the subtleties of fishing to super selective winter trout. Winter fly selection, rigging and choosing the right water for success in the wintertime will be addressed.

Sign up individually or put a group together. Additional days may be available. Also businesses use this class as a means for team building for their employees and public relations with clients. The only limitation is your imagination.

This is a winter fly fishing class and we fish in any weather unless the river is frozen or roads are closed and we can not get there. There are no refunds due to cold weather. If your class happens to be canceled, the opportunity to reschedule may be available. Class fee includes instruction and private water access only. We do not provide a lunch or flies in this class.
