our Angling Guide training
Working as an angling guide is an ideal way to combine the sport you love with the lifestyle you dream of. In our wilderness angling guide training, you will learn the fishing techniques, wilderness skills and management knowledge that every angling guide needs.

Your experienced mentor angling guide will demonstrate fishing techniques and continually guide you throughout the hands-on fishing training that forms the foundation of our program. Living in our supportive ranch community and learning about our philosophy as you train will empower you to take responsibility and contribute essential skills that allow you to share your knowledge of the area and angling techniques with your guests.

Where you will learn to reel in more than just fish
Throughout our wilderness angling guide training, we focus on more than the basic skills that you can find in any fly fishing guide school. In our experience, personal development and ongoing leadership training is just as crucial to the success of an angling guide as casting techniques. The ability to learn from nature is what empowers an angling guide to lead guests with confidence, competence and enthusiasm.
Throughout our hands-on fishing training, we continually present you with new challenges and greater responsibilities. This heightened learning curve produces better guides and more effective leaders. As you continually work on your own personal development and become better able to adapt to unpredictable wilderness conditions. This directly impacts your growth as a mentor angling guide and your future guests’ overall experience. This is paramount because most guests want to do more than just learn to fly fish; they want to experience true wilderness and gain a broader life perspective. That’s why our mentor fishing guide training never loses sight of your personal development and leadership training as we hone your fishing techniques and practical skills.
We want our angling guide graduates to lead guests on meaningful fishing adventures that embrace this time-honoured sport and the richness of nature’s life-changing impact, leading to a transformational journey for both guide and guest.
