2 Day Fly Fishing School



A world-class fly-fishing school with Northwoods beauty and classic elegance at The Grand Traverse Resort and Spa, on the banks of mighty Lake Michigan. With the famed Manistee, Boardman, and AuSable Rivers beckoning nearby. There's no shortage of places to wet a fly at this Orvis fly-fishing school. Professional instructors welcome both beginners and seasoned anglers, and cover everything from setting up your fly rod, casting, fly selection and knots, to safely landing and releasing your catch. 

You'll cover it all at the Traverse City, Michigan Fly Fishing School:

  • Fly casting techniques
  • Essential knots
  • How to choose your gear and tackle
  • Stream entomolgy (the science of insects)
  • Proper fly selection
  • How to read water and currents
  • How to play, land, and safely release fish

Orvis Two Day Fly Fishing Schools

Lectures on tackle, aquatic entomology, fly selection, and knots compliment the finest fly casting instruction in the industry. Your first day at The Grand Traverse Resort and Spa will culminate on the school’s private trout pond. Sunday’s class will begin in our classroom in our Traverse City classroom at Streamside Orvis which is only 10 minutes from the Grand Traverse Resort. The School’s classroom puts us closer to the beautiful Boardman River where after lunch you will spend the rest of the day wading the river and fishing for wild brook and brown trout. Two day schools include course materials, use of all tackle including waders, and lunch. Transportation is not included.
