What people are saying about us

We've been outfitting and guiding people from all over the world since 1997. Here's what some of our fishing friends are saying about us:

"I just returned from Coeur d'Alene. What a great experience! My instructor was great at finding ways to help each individual really get it! It was a fun and very informative time. I highly recommend the class for anyone wanting to get into fly fishing. What I have been trying to learn on my own really came together in class. It was money well spent." - J. Hill (June 2005)

"My wife and I signed up for the Fly Fishing School having no previous experience with fly fishing or fishing for trout. At the end of our second day of class I found myself reeling in a trout on a fly rod. The entire experience was GREAT! The instructor covered the "text book" type material as well as sharing his own personal experiences. When it came time to pick up a rod and start casting our instructor spent a great deal of time with each of us one on one. Northwest Outfitters, the host for our Fly Fishing School, did a wonderful job answering our questions outside of class, whether they were tackle-related or finding a spot to fish on our own. I wish we had taken this class years ago! If you are thinking about learning to fly fish then this is the place to go." - K. Hicks (June 14, 2005)

"I recently attended the Orvis Fly Fishing School in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho and I couldn't be more pleased. The quality and professionalism of the instructors cannot be over emphasized. The personal attention each student received was really beyond expectation. I came away from the school with a sense of accomplishment and the knowledge that I was much better able to cope with the wily trout. I would recommend the Orvis School to anyone who wants to learn the art of fly fishing and wants to do it right. " - W. Dougherty (June 2004)
