Welcome to Trout Snipers Fly Fishing School! Some of you might know that I recently acquired my guide license in Montana and started doing a few float trips to get some more time on the water. That got me thinking after re-engaging in guiding. What if you could offer a school that taught only the things you, the angler, wanted to learn? Well, now you can get just that through Trout Snipers Fly Fishing School. My unique twist is that I only offer one on one instruction. Back to the basics. Learn at your own speed. No distractions or competition. Ask me a gazillion questions! I can prep you for a trip to the Salt. Teach you refined casting mechanics, Trout Spey and Spey casting as well as everything you could ever want to learn about trout fishing on the big Western Rivers or some of the great Spring Creeks in Southwest Montana. Fly into Bozeman, stay at the hotel of your choice, make your school as many days as you want, and I will develop a custom itinerary for your school. I look forward to the opportunity to teach others what has taken me over 30 years to learn. Im ready when you are! One on one instruction, no exceptions. No distractions. Im currently booking dates for Spring/Summer 2024.
