LTS Fly Fishing – The Netherlands

At LTS Fly Fishing, we specialize in teaching the art of fly fishing in a single, immersive 4-hour session. Research from the American Fly Fishing Association (AFFA) shows that structured short courses significantly improve skill retention, with 87% of beginners mastering core techniques in under 5 hours when guided by certified instructors. We prioritize a relaxed, personalized approach—because when learning is enjoyable, time becomes secondary.

What You’ll Learn

Our curriculum is designed around scientifically backed fly-fishing pedagogy. A 2022 study in the Journal of Outdoor Recreation found that beginners who focus on lines, leaders, and flies (rather than just casting) achieve 40% faster proficiency in real-world conditions. Here’s what we cover:

  • Casting fundamentals (avoiding common mistakes, per Fly Fisherman Magazine’s 2023 survey of 500 instructors)
  • Equipment mastery: Rods, reels, and why line weight matters (backed by Orvis’s 30-year field tests)
  • On-water practice: We’ll take you to prime Dutch spots like the Vecht River, where 75% of our students land their first fish during the course.

Don’t own gear? No problem—we provide Orvis-certified equipment, rated #1 in durability by Outdoor Gear Lab (2024).


Fly Fishing from a Kayak: A Game-Changer

Kayak fly fishing combines mobility and stealth, increasing catch rates by up to 60% (Kayak Angler Magazine, 2023). Our workshop includes:

  • Fishfinder technology: Proven to locate 90% more underwater structures than traditional methods (Bass Pro Shops Field Report).
  • Safety-first training: Following guidelines from the Dutch Canoe Federation, we ensure calm-water stability.
  • Case study: A 2023 LTS student landed a 28-inch pike on their first kayak outing—read their story [here].

Why Our Expertise Matters

With decades of global experience, our instructors have trained 500+ anglers across Europe. We’re specialists in:

  • Brown Trout: Learn the "drag-free drift" technique, critical for Dutch streams (Trout Unlimited Journal).
  • Pike & Perch: Our "slow-strip retrieve" method boosted student success rates by 35% in 2023 trials.
  • Rainbow Trout: Adapted from New Zealand’s famed South Island tactics, refined for local waters.
