When you are learning how to do something new, it is always helpful to get some instruction. There are schools all over the country that teach people how to fly fish, and they can be a wonderful way to learn fly fishing from people who are experts in the field.

One of the most popular fly fishing schools is provided by the Orvis company who manufactures various fly fishing gear. They offer these schools in various locations throughout the country, usually in the springtime. The Orvis school will teach you proper casting techniques, tying the best knots, how to choose your gear and tackle, and much more!

The Fly Fishing School found in different parts of the US and Canada also hold outdoor lessons that show first-timers the basics and can also serve as a good refresher course for fly fishers that have the basic experience.

If you prefer self-study like some people does, The Fly Fishing School also provides books and CDs that you can learn from at home. You can also find lessons o the internet if you think it'll be easier for you.

However, you may find fly fishing schools as a more beneficial place to learn the sport. There are numerous experts who can teach you from their experiences as well as a step-by-step process from the simple tying of the knots in your line up to creating the best casts and some even teach you on where to find the best species of fish and what type of lure to use for that type of fish.
