Have you been dreaming of learning how to cast a fly rod?
Do you want to jump in to fly fishing, but you’re not sure where to start?
We have your answers. The Hook Up Outfitters is Arizona’s premier destination for fly fishing and casting instruction!
Fly fishing is a beautiful and exciting sport, but it can also be very frustrating when you’re starting out or working on new techniques. Private instruction is an essential part of any successful angler’s strategy. Think about it. If you want to be a great tennis player what do you do? You take tennis lessons. If you want to play the piano at Carnegie Hall, where do you start? You take piano lessons. Fly fishing is the same way, if you want to advance your skills, you take lessons. Sure, you can buy a book and try to teach yourself, but why not have one of our instructors work with you one on one, so you advance quickly, and get out on the water.
In fly fishing, the cast is the most crucial part. This is where you will either slam the rod down in frustration and never pick it up again, or stand in awe as you watch your loops unfold in perfect harmony. Once you have your cast down, you’ll be able to learn and expand your knowledge every time you’re on the water. If you can’t cast, there is no where to advance to.
We structure our private lessons to be convenient to your schedule. Our instructors are available 7 days a week. We meet at our fly shop at Lake Pleasant, which is usually less than 30 minutes from Phoenix, Scottsdale, Glendale, or Peoria, depending on your location. We will teach you casting basics so you can feel comfortable on your own when you go fishing, or we can work with you on advanced casts to expand your repertoire.
If you have your own fly rod and reel, we encourage you to bring it to your lesson, so you can get comfortable with the rod you will be fishing with. If you haven’t made a rod purchase yet, or if you want to try some different rods out, we will provide fly rods and reels of different varieties for you to use.
We guarantee that our hand selected instructors will inspire greatness and make your fly fishing dreams become reality!
