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].
