2026 Spring Clinic (March 14th & 15th)

2026 Spring Fly Fishing Clinic

This years Spring Clinic will be held during what I like to call miracle March on the Lower Owens, and I’ve gone back on my calander to key in on the best hatches for dry fly fishing every year and this is the time! March host hatches of caddis and mayfly and the river comes alive, making it one of the best months to have a clinic and spend a few days on the water.

This years spring clinic will be focused primarily on dry fly fishing. As spring preps us into our summer months we start to see more hatches of adults and our top water opportunities greatly increase, learning how to fish a dry fly, cast in tight positions, rig for success and match the hatch is a game changer and in my opinion the ultimate form of fly fishing. Watching a wild brown trout come sip a fly off the surface when you know you had a good cast is an incredible feeling and that what we will be targeting this year.

What you will learn/highlights for Spring 26

1. Learn your gear, fly rod, fly reel, fly line. Function and formality.

2. Riggin for success (emphasis on top water presentation) single fly, dry dropper, spacing, depth and leader building.

3. Casting and reading the stream, what type of cast, how to approach the fish, what is the river telling us.

4. Fly selection, matching the hatch, know your bugs and what stage of life they are in.

5. Reading the fish, how are the fish acting? What’s the best approach? Nymph, Emerger or Dry?

6. Tactical wading, fishing with confidence, when and where to spend your time.
