Quality Instruction


The most important part of being a good fly shop and guide service is being able to teach, instruct, and share our knowledge in a positive, fun, and engaging format.  It is important to us that we give back and help anglers grow their skill physically and mentally, and not just progress in the amount of gear they accumulate!  We are fortunate to have a staff in place that helps us offer the best package of clinics and classes anywhere, sometimes at very little cost.  Our goal is to "share the passion"!

The RFS Fly Fishing School program is something we have put a lot of time and heart into planning and it offers a diverse selection of offerings that are sure to accommodate the needs of any angler.  Whether you are interested in multi-day Deluxe Fly Fishing and Lodging package, or Spey Casting, or advanced fly casting; there is something for everyone and you will benefit from the care and expertise of the Red's Staff.  You are in good hands the RFS team!

About the Courses

The RFS Fly Fishing School offers the most unique, diverse, and beneficial selection of classes, clinics, and courses in Washington State, if not the entire country.  This lineup is sure to accommodate the learning desires of any fly angler.  Whether you are someone on the hunt for a relaxing and refreshing outdoor hoppy or a novice fly angler wishing to "test drive" fly fishing to actually experience what all the excitement is about, we have an Introduction to Fly Fishing class that is second to none!  For the experienced anglers seeking "that next step" in fly fishing: getting the inside "guide's tips" and advanced strategies for pursuing trophy fish, learning to cast with spey rods, or maybe you want to learn how to plan a DIY (do it yourself) Steelhead trip on the Methow, Wenatchee, Klickitat, or Grande Ronde Rivers - we've got you covered there too!  You can also learn to row a drift boat, fish Smallmouth, head off to some desolate Mountain Streams all while combining your course with a relaxing night at Canyon River Ranch which is located on the Yakima River next to Red's.  Fact is, Red's RFS School offers a fun learning fly fishing adventure for everyone and anyone.  To keep the quality of instruction high and our attention very personal, we keep class sizes small typically less than 10 students per class.  With Red's, you can have great confidence in the expertise, knowledge, professionalism, and friendly personality of our instructors.

We invite you to check out our calendar of courses.  There is something for everyone and since most classes are only $59, it is the most affordable fly fishing adventure out there!
