The Primary objective at Dick
Ackourey & Sons Fly Fishing School is to enhance every aspect
of you Fly Fishing experience. Regardless of your current level of
expertise you will gain a greater appreciation of the art of Fly
Fishing. The course instructor will be Joe Ackourey, an expert fly
fisherman with nearly four decades of experience, who will share with
you many of his time-tested techniques.
The course will begin with hands on instruction in the tying of the
four knots essential to the sport of fly fishing; the improved clinch
knot, the perfection loop, the blood knot, and the nail knot.
Next, Joe will lead the students to the casting pond where he will
discuss the false cast and the roll cast, then give each student
personalized hands-on instruction for both casts.
Students will then proceed to nearby Bowman's creek for the entomology
portion of the course, where Joe will explain the life cycles of the
mayfly, stonefly, and the caddis fly, and how these cycles relate to
maximizing your fly-fishing experience.
The final portion of the class will focus on "putting it all together”.
Here Joe will guide you streamside and will offer tips on such topics
as stealth wading, "reading" the water, “Nymph and Dry Fly” fishing
techniques and of course, fly fishing etiquette.

will be available for use rent free to enrolled students if needed for
