Advanced FishCamp™ is ideal for those campers who have previously attended FishCamp™ and wish to expand their knowledge and passion for the sport of fly fishing, or for older kids who may be new to FishCamp™ but who have a fair amount of previous experience with fly fishing, fly casting, and fly tying.

In Advanced FishCamp™, we review the basics learned in FishCamp™, then add new concepts, including more work with advanced casting techniques such as the double haul and adding distance to the cast, accuracy and presentation casts, more knots such as the blood knot and nail knot, and advanced fly tying techniques, including spinning deer hair and imitating real insects.

We spend even more time focusing on fishing at Advanced Camp, learning more advanced fly fishing skills, and improving upon fly tying techniques. Since most of our Advanced FishCampers are a little older and more experienced with fly fishing already, we’re really able to cater each camper’s individual experience to their personal skill level, teaching new concepts and skills as needed in real-time fishing applications.

The highlight of Advanced FishCamp™ is the last day of camp, on Friday, when all of the campers join up with some of The Fly Shop’s top guides to do a full day drift boat trip on the Lower Sacramento River. The Lower Sacramento River is one of the nation’s premier tailwater rainbow trout fisheries, and our Advanced FishCamper’s enjoy a great last day of fishing on the river before meeting their parents for a picnic in the park at Anderson River Park.
