The only course at NOLS dedicated solely to fishing, this expedition is an angler’s dream. Orvis™ guides will teach you the fly fishing skills to be an ace on the water while your NOLS instructors turn you into an outdoor expert.

After an intensive two-day Orvis™ fly fishing seminar to help you perfect your cast and learn to “match the hatch” and read the water, you’ll shoulder your pack and head into the Wind River Mountains for a 20-day wilderness fishing expedition where cutthroat, brook, brown, golden and rainbow trout abound.

If you love the mountains and dream of being a fly fishing guide, this mix of mountain living skills, leadership and angling is ideal training. Or, simply camp where the big fish are and show up your friends and family on the next annual fishing trip.

Your course will end on a world-renowned trout-fishing river with an Orvis™-certified guide for six days of personal instruction in drift boat handling, rowing techniques and big water fishing.

By the end of this 30-day course you will be “The Compleat Angler.”
