Tailwaters Bass Fly Fishing School  
July 14-15, 2018
Tres Gallos Ranch
Terrell, Texas

Want to learn to fly fish?

Our bass fishing school is an awesome way to learn the basics of fly fishing, some particulars about fly fishing for bass, and actually catch some fish at the same time.  Fly fishing isn’t just for trout in the mountains. North Texas has abundant bass fishing opportunities and one of the most often asked questions we receive is “how can I fish locally?” Tailwaters has listened and we’ve teamed up with a private ranch near Dallas to offer you the only overnight Bass Fly Fishing School in North Texas!

Our school is led by expert instructors who have spent years teaching people how to cast and fish. We’ll get you dialed in on the equipment, the casting, and the way to catch bass on the fly.

School topics include:

• Equipment
• Effective flies for bass
• Casting
• Knots
• Hooking, landing, and releasing bass

The school takes places on a gorgeous 800 acre ranch just 45 minutes from Dallas. The ranch features stocked lakes designed for fly fishing. We’ll have access to several lodging options and a party barn that lets you kick back and relax in between sessions.

All the equipment, meals, and instructors will be provided. If you would like to bring your own gear, please do so! We will host a Happy Hour prior to the school so you can buy your own equipment with the help of our instructors and shop staff.
