Course Description:
Our Women's Schools at Clearwater follow the same curriculum as the Mastering School . This is the perfect school for beginners and out of practice fly fishing women. The Women's Mastering School is taught by our women guides who tailor the school to meet the individual needs of each participant. These weeks are often the most high-spirited groups at the Lodge, full of laughter and enthusiasm and though most women come as individuals, they all leave as friends, some returning year after year to fish together. We have learned over the years that women want to be able to be independent on stream: to choose the right fly, tie their own knots, cast and wade with confidence. So that's our focus, to set you up for success. Learn tackle, knots, casting, wading, surface and subsurface techniques, all in a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.
