Featuring some of the Finest Steelhead Fishing in the Lower 48 States!
This exciting Wilderness Medicine conference takes place in the context of a professionally guided fly-fishing school and is designed for all skill levels. Beginners will get instruction and guiding from certified fly-casting instructors (FFI), and those with experience get personalized single- or two-handed instruction from some of the best casters and guides in the west. All week we will be targeting steelhead (ocean-run rainbow trout), known for their beauty and incredible fight.
Northern California is home to some of the finest fly-water in the lower 48. The school is located at Paradise Point, a gorgeous 20-acre deluxe tent camp on the banks of the legendary Klamath River. The wilderness camp has hot showers, river-view wall tents, and gourmet food. Anglers will have a chance to float (in drift boats) and wade through incredibly varied waters including the Klamath, and Scott Rivers- all famed for autumn steelhead runs. There is also excellent fishing right at the shore of camp.
The fly fishing guide staff are outstanding professionals including many guides from WildWaters, an Orvis-endorsed guide service, as well as Jefferson Flywater Guide Service. The guides are knowledgeable, personable, patient, and enthusiastic! The guide-to-angler ratio is one guide for every two anglers (fisherpersons).
Aside from excellent fishing, this Wilderness Medicine course is also a fantastic nature experience, with spectacular scenery and wildlife. We often see bear, eagles, otters and elk. The weather is typically in the mid-70s and gorgeous in early October.
