Hawkins Outfitters is committed to increasing the skill and knowledge of fly anglers by offering fly- fishing schools that no one else has. Rather than compete with both shops and clubs that have great basic casting classes, Hawkins Outfitters has schools that teach you how to fish. Our schools are designed to take anglers that already have a basic knowledge of fly casting and teach them how to cast and fish like an expert.
How many times have you stood in a local stream and couldn't catch fish rising around you? Seen a rising fish that you couldn't reach or get a dead drift over? Had bonefish within casting range but the wind gave you problems? These are the problems Hawkins Outfitters will help you solve.
If you want to try saltwater fishing or are going to any of the exotic places around the world that anglers always dream of visiting, you need to be able to deliver a fly accurately at least 75 feet. If you can't we can teach you. Make a commitment to become a better, more skilled angler in 2007. Come join us at one of our fly-fishing schools that will help you become a better angler!
Taught on local rivers like the Pere Marquette, Manistee and Ausable. Check with us about which rivers a specific Fly-Fishing School will utilize.

Fall Steelhead Fly-Fishing School
Nov. 29-30, 2008
Hawkins Outfitters is offering a fall steelhead school on the Pere Marquette, Muskegon and Manistee Rivers. This school will cover chuck and duck, indicator fishing and swinging with two-handers and single hand rods. We will spend each day on a float trip utilizing these various methods of pursuing the silver bullets of Michigan Rivers. We will help break down the river and how to find fish in the different seasons. In addition we will teach anglers about holding lies, fly selection, moving versus holding fish etc. All this will help break down some of the secrets to these great fish. The cost is $400 for two days of fishing. |
