Landon Mayer – Tips for Sight-Fishing Success / Tying “Trigger” Flies – December 17th

Join us for a great holiday open house on Saturday, December 17th starting at 10:00am. Long-time friend of the shop, guide & author Landon Mayer will be stopping by to offer a presentation on improving your success while sight-fishing. This seminar, from the guy who literally wrote the book on the subject, is always a hit. After his seminar, lunch will be served – our way of saying ‘thank you’ to our customers and friends, and to celebrate the season! At 1:00pm Landon will be teaching a fly tying class on tying “trigger flies” for sight-fishing. This class is limited to ten students, and signups are required in advance. Students will need to provide their own vise, tying tools, and threads. The cost of the class is $60.00. We’ll have sale specials throughout the shop, extra staff on hand to help with your shopping questions, and lots of holiday cheer! Call the Peak Fly Shop at (719) 260-1415 for more information or to sign up for Landon’s class.

Introduction to Fly Fishing Class

Our Introduction to Fly Fishing Classes are up and running for 2022. If you, or someone you know, is interested in learning the art of fly fishing, or just needs a refresher course, there is no better way to set about it than this class. Each class is two sessions. The first, on a Thursday evening from 6pm to ~10pm, covers equipment, rigging, knots, reading water and basic entomology – a comprehensive classroom session with small class size, a fantastic manual (that is yours to take home), and a thorough and practiced approach to teaching fly fishing. The following Saturday students will head to the river to fish public waters – the same waters you’ll fish as an area resident. No stocked ponds that don’t teach you about wild trout! The river portion is a half-day trip with a heavy focus on education. All equipment is provided; no need to buy any gear. The class is $225.00 per person for both sessions. Classes are limited to 6 students each.

Introduction to Fly Tying Class

Learn the basics of tying your own trout flies. Class consists of either two three hour sessions or one six hour session. Students receive lots of hands-on instruction and students will be loaned a vise and tools to use during the class. In addition, we give all students a 10% discount on all fly-tying purchases during the class! Cost of class is $75.00 and advanced registration is required. Class size is limited to six students. Call either location for more information, or to sign up! Already know the basics? Let us customize a class to fit your needs and skills.
