Get a customized private lesson with Heather Hodson, licensed and insured Washington state fishing guide and founder of Fly Fish Instruct and United Women on the Fly. Become confident and competent on the water and let Heather take your fly fishing to the next level.
As a fly-fishing educator, Heather has always wanted the customized private lessons to be about empowering and building confidence and competence as an angler. This time together is less focused on catching fish and more on learning to become independent on the water.
Customized Private Lesson options are available both on land and on the water. Here are some examples of what can be covered. If you'd like to cover something not listed, just let me know. I will provide handouts based on what we cover during the customized lesson. Invest in Yourself!!

I acknowledge the many barriers to fly fishing. The Fly Fish Instruct mission is to offer accessible and affordable education to all. We don't want anyone to be turned away from education. Scholarships, discounts and online fly-fishing courses are available for those who are unable to afford the private lesson. Please email info@flyfishinstruct.com to share your story.
