McLennan Fly Fishing Schools 

          In the old days a new fly fisher had two choices – read a book or learn from a friend. Today there are other choices, including video and DVD, but the best way to learn is from a qualified instructor. And there’s an important distinction between knowing how to fish and knowing how to teach fishing.  
     
      Over the last 25 years literally thousands of Alberta’s fly fishers have learned the sport under the instruction of Jim or Lynda McLennan.  For many years Jim taught Fly Fishing Schools in Calgary, as well as at various clubs and fly fishing expositions.  Lynda has taught for numerous events and shops since 1985.  
     

      They have a great lineup of fly fishing schools planned in 2010 for both new and experienced anglers. Take advantage of their combined 50 years’ experience in teaching fly fishing.  (Tackle can be provided for schools if required.)  

      If you don't find what you are looking for, please give us a call and we can prepare a day, afternoon or weekend to accommodate your needs.  We specialize in private and corporate schools.

What people say!

Aug. 2008   
Jim,    I just want to say thank you so much for a great experience on the Bow. I know I'm speaking for both myself and my father when I say it went above and beyond our expectations. Everything we covered - especially the casting technique - will be a benefit for a very long time. And we could not have asked for a more knowledgeable, friendly and well prepared teacher. It was one of the very best days we've ever spent on not only the Bow but any water.   Our sincere thanks and best wishes,     Geoff and Pete

Thanks again Lynda for a great day. I learned so much and really look forward to putting my new skills to use. You have a great approach and I was truly amazed on how much I was able to get out of a single day.   Shawn
