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 three-day Orvis™ fly-fishing seminar to help you perfect your cast, learn to “match the hatch,” and read the water, you’ll shoulder your pack and head into the Wind River Mountains for a 21-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.

Your course will end on a world-renowned trout-fishing river with an Orvis™-certified guide for five 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.”
