In small groups, Ralph and Lisa Cutter will lead you through an intense learning experience. We don't "have" instructors, we ARE your instructors! Our on-the-water classes simply can't be duplicated on a city lawn or parking lot. Well into our 3rd decade, we are one of the oldest and most respected fly fishing schools in the world and by far and away the most experienced in the West. Many of today's top pros were our students. We have been profiled in such diverse publications as National Geographic, the LA Times, Outside, Adventure West, SF Chronical, the Wall Street Journal, Sunset, and Playboy.
