Learn about flies, how to read water, tie knots, proper equipment, set-up, and how to cast a fly rod. You'll have the camaraderie of other women while you're on the water, the best classroom of all!

No experience is necessary. Our guides will tailor and personalize the course to the needs of each individual. . . novice to expert. There will be a maximum of three anglers per guide.

Do I need a fishing license?
Yes, a current Idaho fishing license is required but not included. You can purchase your license in our store prior to the start of your class or buy online before your trip by visiting Idaho Fish and Game Online.

What should I bring?
Sturtevants will provide the fishing gear at no extra cost (you can use your own if you have it).
