Fly Tying Instruction
The joy of tying flies is shared by all the staff at Davidson River Outfitters, and teaching this craft is something we do not take lightly. Commercial fly tying laid the foundation for our owner, Kevin, to pursue fly fishing as a career, and his family's fly patterns are still sought after today. Fly-tying classes at DRO are somewhat informal and light-hearted. There are many techniques and materials for creating flies, and we are open to all of them. We offer classes for all skill levels, and personalized one-on-one instruction is also available.
Class sizes are limited to a max of eight students. All materials are included for each in-person session.

Stream Report
Just after the first snow of the year, the fish are slow and the temps are cold. If you plan to fish this time of year, sleep in and make a cup of coffee before heading to the river. Around 10:00 the water and the air will warm up and the fish will start feeding for the day. The fish will feed until 3:00 or 4:00 in the afternoon until the sun goes behind the trees and the air temps start to drop again. Make sure you wear layers so you can add and subtract clothes throughout the day. As always when fishing during the winter, make sure that you have a plan of where you are going and tell others where you expect to be and what time you expect to be off the water, in case something happens while you are fishing.
