The Anglers Academy is for all fly anglers who wish to deepen their understanding of the sport, develop a sense of independence on the water, and gain knowledge from a prominent line-up of professionals. The ideal student is the individual who understands that the more they know about fly fishing, the less they actually know about fly fishing; in other words, their thirst for new knowledge is insatiable. The Anglers Academy offers the passionate student a rare chance to spend four days with the sport’s most distinguished characters on one of the most famed trout fisheries on the planet.
