Dickson's Steelhead Flyfishing School
- On The Sauk River -

Now Booking for-2008
March 7 or 8

Not just another school: Gleaning the experience from both Fisheries Biology as well as Flyfishing Steelhead Outfitters, the Dickson guides offer an innovative approach to flyfishing steelhead.

Consider:

Each class of anglers will float the Sauk River. Students will learn the key elements of defining a flyfishing steelhead pool. Members will learn the "Sweet water", as you will stop at each holding pool along the way. Dickson will point out the waters that have consistently held fish year in and year out, how to recognize a new piece of water and how to tell when the river has changed your best pool, into a waste of time. Learn steelhead migratory patterns, including what constitutes a "High Water Lie" and how to catch steelhead when the shops are telling everyone the river is out!

Anglers float from either pontoon or Guide rafts (provided), while you develop simple boating skills. More comfortable letting the guide row? No problem. Want to bring your own boat, You bet! (Just confer with us before the school.)

Mike Dickson will show you his highly effective Yancy flyline system, while you learn not only, what flylines to fish, but how to fish the "Grease line Steelhead Swing". Nobody disagrees with the fact that Dickson methods catch fish!

Students can fine tune or learn the skills for both single & double handed rod fishing Remember, the Dicksons have made a living putting first time anglers into steelhead.

Anglers will learn three simple knots that cover everything from replacing a tippet to constructing a steelhead leader.

Mike Dickson will also demonstrate the fly tying of two of their deadliest winter steelheading patterns, Black Bart and the Cop Car. How to buy or build a fly that swims with the action to catch steelhead.
