Streamer Workshop

Northern California Waters - Yuba River

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. Each student 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.

Streamer Workshop

Streamer fishing is a forgotten art, even though people like Joe Brooks and Kelley Gallop have perfected the technique of fishing streamers for big fish. Learning these secrets will produce more fish and generate a greater understanding of the sport of fly fishing.

While many fly fishers are adept at high-sticking a nymph or drifting a Royal Wulff in pocket water, streamer fishing offers a more comprehensive approach. It's a collective technique that incorporates all others, using dead drift, swing, and stripping tactics to provoke big fish into striking. Once mastered, this practical and effective art provides another powerful tool for any intermediate angler. Our workshop will equip you with these streamer techniques and the confidence to land big fish.

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!
