This mix of mountain expedition skills, leadership, and fly-fishing is any angler’s dream. Orvis™ guides will teach you the fly-fishing skills you need to be an ace on the water while your NOLS instructors turn you into an outdoor living expert.

After an intensive three-day 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 backpacking and fishing expedition where cutthroat, brook, brown, golden, and rainbow trout abound.

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 month-long course you will be a high functioning member of any fly-fishing expedition.
