About 30 some years ago I took up fly fishing here in New Brunswick, it’s what made me move here from Ontario by the way. I had lived for almost 30 years before I was even introduced to fly fishing and in less than 10 minutes I was catching brook trout and soon moved on up to Atlantic salmon.

Looking back I am so happy my brother-in-law took the time to show this ole hippy how to fly fish. It has brought so much joy to my life that I think every one should be fly fishing.

Not everyone is as lucky as I was to have a guide help me get it right so today I would like to direct you to a web site focused on teaching you to fly fish. They even have classes throughout the summer for your convenience.

Atlantic Fly Fishing School OwnersThey are called The Atlantic Fly Fishing School and they are located in Brookfield Nova Scotia.

I usually tie most of my own flies and have been doing that for 30 years but I know that not all of us can pick up fly tying as fast as I did. I just fell in love with tying and can just look at a fly and know what I need to do to recreate it.

If you are interested in fly tying as well but are not sure how you can learn that too at The Atlantic Fly Fishing School, check them out.

Here is a link to their The Atlantic Fly Fishing School location page so you can see if they are close enough for you.
