What Makes Our Schools the Best?
Captain Dan brings a lifetime of experience and wisdom catching Salmon & Trout into the classroom. This highly visual presentation is a deep dive into all aspects of locating and catching fish. We offer two schools. Day 1 is Foundations 200. This covers the mechanics and execution of success plus looks at how to catch coho, steelhead and lake trout. Day 2 is our Advanced Tactics & Seasonal Strategies School. This is a deep dive on steroids into everything you need to catch King's throughout the season including the most in-depth analysis of how currents impact fish migrations, boat control and much more!
Attend one day or both but many anglers tell us they get more out of Day 2 after attending Day 1
