From Clumsy Casts to Kayak Ninja: Your 4-Hour Fly Fishing Fix

Speaking of kayaks—ever tried untangling a fly line while drifting sideways? Funny story... Let’s just say my first attempt ended with more laughter than fish. But that’s kinda the point at LTS Fly Fishing. We’re not here to clock-watch (though the whole shindig runs about 4 hours). We’re here to get you hooked—pun intended—on the art of fly fishing, whether you’re gifting this to someone or finally treating yourself.

Now, most beginners obsess over rods and reels—I mean, they’re shiny, right?—but the real magic’s in the lines, leaders, and flies. What most don’t realize? A crappy cast isn’t just about missing fish; it’s about training your muscles wrong. We’ll fix that. Oh, and no gear? No sweat. We’ve got you covered—though fair warning, that one rental reel always sticks if you crank it too fast...

Kayak fishing workshop, you ask? Meet us waterside at dawn—coffee in hand, kayaks bobbing like ducks. We’ll scout for pike (or was it perch? Wait, no, definitely pike) around the old submerged logs near Mill Bend. Pro tip: Fishfinders are great, but nothing beats spotting a ripple and thinking, “Yeah, that’s a trout... or my sandwich floating away.”

Species we chase? Brown trout, grayling, rainbow trout—the usual suspects. But honestly? Half the fun’s in the misses. Decades guiding worldwide taught me that. So come for the casting, stay for the chaos. And maybe—just maybe—you’ll leave with a fish story worth exaggerating...
