The ArkAnglers Flyfishing Schools have evolved from the Columbine School of Flyfishing established in the mid-1960's by Paul Fling and Don Puterbaugh, Colorado's first and longest-running instructional program. These schools are a great value for those who want to make their first steps into the river as productive and educational as possible. All equipment, flies, terminal tackle, waders, lunch and guiding are included. Schools are scheduled in both Pueblo and Salida on specific weekends throughout the year, or get a group of four or more people together and we can provide this experience on the date of your choice.

One Day School
Spend the morning learning the basics of flyfishing, including casting, tying knots, identifying insects, selecting fly patterns, equipment set-up and more. After lunch, hit the river in a 2:1 guest to guide tutorial setting where we put into action the skills learned in the morning. Meets at 8:00 am, runs till 5:00 pm. The schools are held on the Saturdays below, or by request for groups of four or more.
Course Fee $175/student

NEW! Introductory Clinic
This new learning option offers only the morning classroom portion of our regular 1-day school, above. It does not include the guided on-water session. Learn all those details you wish you would have known before. This clinic also makes a great gift for an aspiring flyfisher. All materials and equipment are provided, or bring your own.
Sign up for either the morning portion of any of our regularly scheduled schools, for one of the clinic-only dates as listed below, or by request for groups of four or more.
Course Fee $99/student
(Lunch optional for school dates only for additional $8; request at time of reservation.)

Two Day School
For an expanded learning experience, add a second day to any of our scheduled school dates. Take the regular one-day class. On the second day, we start with a review casting clinic and then spend the morning on either a float or a wade trip, enjoying the other option in the afternoon. This course offers a great introduction to flyfishing as well as the opportunity to demo various fly rod models and equipment. Meets at 8:00 each day.
Total 2-day fee: $350/pp based on double occupancy.
