The
3 day Cabin/Campout Clinic:
Anglers begin their 3 day adventure from Washington's Bogans Oasis, overlooking
the Grande Ronde River.
Plan on lots of instructional fishing:
Day 1 Instructional fishing starts early and finishes at nightfall. We teach over many
of the productive pools only minutes from Bogan's. Comfortable lodging
and wonderful meals provided from the lodge. (No extra costs!)
Day 2 Begins as Day 1. After more instructional fishing a splendid
luncheon is provided. Anglers will gather their camping supplies as we head
off to our mid-river camp. After settling in, angler should expect to advance their flyfishing skills on some of the finest dry-line waters of the Grande
Ronde.
Day 3 campout Clinic finishes the 3 day adventure. Stay as long as you
like. The outfitted camp is yours for the stay & play. You will be amazed how much you haved learned!
About
the instructional fishing:
Absolutely the greatest rush in freshwater, is learning to raise steelhead to surface
flies. One of the finest steelhead streams in the world, to teach
the art of surface flies, is Washington's own Grande Ronde River, and its wild summer
steelhead. Dennis and staff has been teaching the GR. since the mid eighties,
and now the Dickson flyfishing instructors are ready to teach you how to fish it. These
3 day instructional flyfishing clinics will cover all aspects of floating and
sinktip line presentations as angler learn some twenty miles of this world
class fishery. Skaters, bombers, grease lining, wet fly swing on an open
loop, which pools to fish, what flies to fish, and
how to fish them. Only six anglers are allowed per trip, while you are
taught from sunrise to sunset. There are so many pools!
Dickson's
floating Line Head System has revolutionized the flyfishing market.......was
designed to flyfish the surface rising GR steelhead. Each guide will have
rods set up.......so you too, can feel the strength and power of a steelhead,
on a trout rod! Discovering the nuances of the lie water, where the steelhead
hold, which pools consistently hold fish, and avoiding those that don't.........is
worth the experience itself! A great primer:

Hi
Dennis,
Well,
I just got back to civilization and wanted to say thanks for showing me
a good time over on the Grande Ronde. I had so much fun and learned a
lot, from all of you guys. It was my first steelhead trip. I got to fish
with Mike the most, I enjoyed his company and I learned a lot from him.
He was always there to help out and to laugh along with me and my comedy
of errors. From overspinning reels to near-dunkings, I had some good laughs
with him!
I also wanted give a big thanks to you for coaching me into that steelhead
on a dry. It was the most exciting thing that's ever happened at the other
end of my fly line! Just to see the take and feel the fish on...I don't
see how it can get better than that! Learning from you that afternoon made
getting a fish on top like that for me a total bonus. It's something I'll
remember for the rest of my life and I can't thank you enough for that.
Sincerely,
Willie
U.
