Personal Education on Demand

Personal Education- You, me, and a custom curriculum built just for you.

These offerings give you the ultimate experience with a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio of student to teacher learning. Book a stay at any of Cle Elum’s hotels or vacation rentals and spend each day on water in a floating classroom. Lectures and workshops are held exclusively on the river with all-day practice and application.

Here’s what’s included:

  • Comprehensive workbook to complete your workshops and help guide your note taking

  • Troubleshooting checklists and flow charts for on river strategies

  • Equipment and classroom materials

  • Unique and vibrant fly fishing education developed and delivered using scientifically proved teaching methods.

  • Please note that meals are not included, but that a grocery store is conveniently located in the same plaza as the shuttle drop off and recommended hotel (read below).

How Many Days Should I Book?

The number of days you book can be looked at in two ways.

  1. Complete beginners will want to book 3 days for the greatest comprehension and retention of the education. There is a lot (I mean a lot!) that I pack into these offerings. The full comprehensive curriculum takes three days to get through. If you are an intermediate or more experienced angler hoping to fill in the gaps of your knowledge, a 1-2 day experience might be right for you. But do know that single days may leave students feeling rushed to absorb information- there is so much to learn!

  2. You are the captain of your learning ship! 1-3 days will satisfy 90% of the students out there! But a 4-6 day adventure may be right for you if you’d like a more saturated learning experience. These longer offerings may include multiple different river settings, on foot and on boat learning, fishing for different species or extra curricular activities like learning to tie flies or row a drift boat. We build the curriculum you want or need!
