If you are passing through Jackson Hole, then learning to fly-fish with JHFFS is a must! There truly is no better place on earth to pick up a fly rod for the first time. JHFFS instructors were so personal and knowledgeable that both my husband and daughter are hooked for life. Thank you JHFFS for this life changing skill!

Being a spin angler I have always been intimidated to pick up a fly rod. Fly shops always create a perception of stuffiness and it always just seemed too difficult to try. JHFFS made the transitions from spin angler to fly angler both fun and simple. Even my ten year old son enjoyed the class!
