Two-Day Fly-Fishing Immersion Course

ACTIVITY

In this two-day course, our expert L.L.Bean instructors will gladly offer you a fishing education that would take years to acquire on your own. Absorb a wealth of knowledge and accumulated angling wisdom while learning all the skills a fly-fishing enthusiast needs to excel out on the water. You'll learn and practice casting techniques, strategies for reading and wading in moving water, knot tying, fly selection, fish fighting and landing, catch and release and fly-fishing safety and etiquette.

Rest assured, you'll receive plenty of individual attention and coaching while you fish on a stocked pond for a variety of fish species.

All necessary fly-fishing equipment is provided.

Smoking and Tobacco Policy

L.L.Bean Outdoor Discovery Programs activities are tobacco- and smoke-free (including electronic smoking devices) in support of a healthy lifestyle and respect for our participants and guests. We thank you for understanding and respecting this policy.

Alcohol Policy

In general, alcohol consumption is not permitted during L.L.Bean Outdoor Discovery Programs events for the safety of all participants. However, alcoholic beverages are allowed on overnight trips and may only be consumed in a responsible way after the day’s activities are finished. If participants consume alcohol to excess in the evening and behave in ways that negatively impact their own safety, that of the group or the natural environment around them, our guides will intervene. We hope that we will never have to remove an offending guest from the remainder of a trip to ensure the group’s safety, but we will do so if necessary.
Minimum Age: 12 (14 & under with parent/guardian)

Participants must be 12 years old by the start of the trip, course, or tour; a parent or guardian must participate with anyone 14 years old and younger.

This cancellation policy applies to non-overnight courses and day tours.
- 7 days in advance: 100% credit or refund

If L.L.Bean cancels your event, you will receive a full refund for the cost of your reservation. All refunds will be in the form of the original transaction. L.L.Bean shall not be responsible or liable for other expenses incurred by the participant as a result of such a cancellation.
