Dry Fly Workshop

Northern California Waters - Yuba River, CA

We proudly offer workshops to help our guests hone their angling skills with hands-on and on-the—water training in a friendly atmosphere.

Our workshops are like a fly-fishing minicamp. Students will enjoy personalized instruction to reinforce fundamental fly-fishing skills and expand their angling knowledge.

These workshops are not just about theory. They include hands-on experience on the water, engaging you in the learning process. You'll feel active and involved in our workshops.

Dry Fly Workshop

The Dry Fly Workshop is a comprehensive exploration of dry fly fishing. We cover a range of presentations, including downstream, upstream, over and up, and high stick, ensuring that participants thoroughly understand this technique.

Lance will break down each presentation and explain when each is best to use on the water. Each student who attends the workshop will build their dry fly leader, which they will use throughout the day. We will also discuss rods, lines, leaders, fly selection, matching the hatch, and using fly floatant properly. Like all of our workshops, we hope to give our students confidence in their new fly-fishing abilities and a meaningful experience on the water.

Dry Fly Workshop is held on the Yuba River at Hammon Grove County Park, CA.

Our dry Fly Workshops maintain a low student-to-instructor ratio, with one instructor for every two students, ensuring personalized attention. The half-day workshop costs $160 per student and includes rods, reels, flies, and leaders. However, wading gear is not included. A comprehensive Handout is provided to each student as a reference from the morning workshop. Students are welcome to bring their equipment. Please note that a valid California fishing license and Steelhead Card are required for participation.

We frequently use Lance Gray & Company guide services for fishing club outings and presentations. We also call on Lance for disabled veteran group outings. I’ve been in his boat fishing, too. WOWZA! Lance is a perfect blend of expertise, coaching and mentoring, fishing success, and wonderful humor. Time with Lance is well worth it!
