lessons/course for beginner

[jayquiver]

Hello

Wanted to get my girlfriend fly fishing lesson (full day course), for her birthday, to learn all about the sport. She's very interested.

Any suggestions in the Calgary area? Found a few with a google search, but does anyone have any personal feedback or experience with shops that offer this service.

BTW- I may join her, I have a rod and reel but I'm a complete novice.

Thanks

Jay

Took a couple friends and their kids to iron bow. They did a great job explaining gear, sethup, knots, a bit of entymology, flies, casting instruction. Lessons were on a private pond. Kids and adults had a blast putting it all together and cathing/releasing fish.

Throwing McLennan Fly Fishing in the mix. I've taken sessions with both Lynda and Jim, and they were excellent.

X2 on Jim and Lynda. If you want to learn to fish from someone with the most knowledge I would pick the McLennan’s. They are wonderful teachers and are exceptionaly nice people. Highly recommend.
