Fly Fishing Traditions Stillwater School

Stillwater Techniques & Tactics

Fly Fishing Traditions teaches a Stillwater School for the fly fishers that want to jump start their entry into the world of fishing stillwaters. The Stillwater School will take place at Luk Lake, a private access fly fishing only lake near Corning, California. Luk lake is managed by The Fly Shop of Redding California and has trophy rainbow trout and largemouth bass. The Stillwater Workshop is a two day affair which includes staying in the Luk Lake Ranch House.

The Stillwater School is designed for anglers in all stages of fly fishing who wish to learn stillwater techniques. This workshop is modeled after Philip Rowley’s Stillwater School. The students will learn proper casting techniques, reels, fly lines, knots, leaders, flies, and setting up their rods. The workshop will cover lake profiling, proper equipment, safety concerns and fly fishing etiquette.

The Stillwater School instruction will be taught by Stillwater guides both off and on the water. You will receive personal instruction on stillwater tactics and techniques.

There will be 4 classroom sessions at the Ranch House with Stillwater Power Point Presentations. The Power Point Presentations will cover in-depth instruction on stillwater gear, flies, tactics and techniques.
