Discovery to Mastery instructional program
- Advancing to the Next Level
The NaturAventur Fly Fishing School offers a targeted instructional program that allows you to measure your progress from novice to intermediate and advanced competency levels. This skills program provides you a clear roadmap of how you can improve your skills to the next level. Our program was developed based on more than ten years of experience of fly fishing instruction to over a thousand anglers. To achieve each competency level you will demonstrate the knowledge and abilities gained during your classes with our qualified instructors using specialized instructional tools. Advancing to the Next Level – how it works Our FirstCast clinics focus on getting you casting at Level 1 competency within the hour. Our popular Discovery clinics are the best way to get started. The curriculum of our Half-day Discovery clinics provides you the opportunity to achieve your Level 4 while that of our Full-day Discovery clinics allows you the opportunity to achieve your Level 5. Our Two-day Discovery clinics provide the opportunity for you to achieve your Level 6. You can advance to each of the next competency levels with our Advanced clinics of 1 to 2 days depending on the level. These may be available at certain times or on request, and will allow you to develop the necessary knowledge and abilities to achieve each of the Level 7, Level 8, Level 9 and Level 10 competencies. We will gladly evaluate your fly angling knowledge and abilities to determine your current competency level. This will allow us to design the instructional program that advances you to the next level. The Cast Analyzer is a computer-based tool that allows NaturAventur instructors to evaluate your casting signature and to provide clear recommendations. This allows us to focus our instructional program to meet your specific needs and measure your progress. The following provides a sample of the skills and knowledge you will learn at each competency level of our instructional program. - Initiation to types of flylines and rods - Initiation to basic fly patterns - Hand position and casting stance - Flyline pick up and lay down - False casting and flyline presentation - Initiation to fly line control - Initiation to safe river wading and more ...

Progress Card
After each class or clinic, you will be presented with a Progress Card that clearly indicates the competency level you have achieved and identifies the additional skills and knowledge needed to progress to the next level. But be assured, there is no test or examination required. The Progress Card is our commitment to ensuring that you will fullfil the learning objectives we have set at the start of each class or clinic. We are committed to your achievement of the competency level that was targeted during your class or clinic.
No one else offers you this level of teaching commitment.
