Designed for anglers new to the sport, this trip to Skeena Spey with Brian Niska and Simon Gawesworth is sure to be an exciting and educational adventure. Simon will be traveling with the latest Sage fly rods and RIO fly lines perfectly matched for the Skeena. Students will learn in the classroom on select mornings and evenings and spend the first day on the river learning to cast with Brian, Simon and other casting instructors. The second day of the course is designed to teach anglers how to fish the swing using both Scandi and Skagit heads, all while wade fishing on the home water. The remaining two days concentrate on putting into practice the skills learned with two days of guided fishing with Skeena Spey's top Spey guides.
Far Bank Fly Fishing Schools are designed so that students leave the course with all the knowledge and skills needed for a lifetime of enjoyment in fly fishing. We do this by keeping the instructor-to-student ratio to an absolute minimum. On group lesson days, there will be a maximum of three students per instructor, and on the putting-into-practice fishing days, only two guests per professional guide.
