This beginner-friendly wade fishing class is designed for you - no experience needed. We’ll guide you step by step with hands-on instruction, simple learning materials, and all the gear you need, so you can focus on learning, building confidence, and enjoying your time on the water.

You’ll have plenty of time to practice, ask questions, and settle into the rhythm of casting and fishing. We’ll even include our latest fly fishing book for beginners, giving you a helpful resource to continue your journey after the day is over.

Along the way, we’ll capture a few photos to remember your experience while you take in the quiet beauty of the Driftless Area—clear water, wildlife, rolling hills, and a setting that makes it easy to slow down and enjoy the moment.

Just over an hour from the Twin Cities, this half-day experience is perfect for a solo adventure, a relaxed weekend escape, or a memorable day with a friend.

Meet us directly at the river or, for added convenience, arrange pickup at the local Orvis store. No experience. No gear needed. Just show up ready to learn, fish, and enjoy the water.
