So, you want to become a better fly angler? You’ve come to the right place. 

Fly Fishing Base Camp is where anglers of all stripes gather to pick up tips, sharpen their skills, and swap a few good stories along the way. 

Whether you’re new to the game or a seasoned vet, we’re here to help you up your fly fishing game—plain and simple.

Why a "Base Camp"?

Think of us as the spot where you gear up before heading out on your fishing journey. 

Just like any good base camp, we’ve got what you need: advice, tools, and stories to fuel you for whatever waters you’re planning to wade into. 

Fly fishing can be a wild world to explore, but here, we make it easy to find your way.

Doesn’t matter if you’re green as grass or know every knot in the book; we’re keeping things laid-back, friendly, and straightforward so you can dive in at any level. 

You won’t find any “over-your-head” talk here—just good info that’s sure to help you catch more fish.

What You’ll Find Here

At Fly Fishing Base Camp, we keep it simple:

• Casting Tips: The casting might look easy, but there’s more than meets the eye. We’ll help you get it down, whether you’re just starting or working on perfecting that presentation.
• Fly Selection: Not sure which fly to use? We’ve got you covered. We’ll cover everything from dry flies to nymphs and beyond, so you’re never standing at the water’s edge wondering what to tie on.
• Gear Guides: There are so many rods, reels, and flies out there, it can make your head spin. We’ll cut through the noise and help you find gear that actually works.
• Best Fishing Spots: Whether it’s a quiet river bend or a bustling lake, we’ll share tips on finding great fishing spots—and even a few of our own favorites.
• Stories & Adventures: Fly fishing isn’t just about the fish you catch. It’s about the adventure. We’re here to share some good tales from the water, and we bet you’ll have a few to add, too.

Learn Without the Fuss

Here’s the deal: we’re not about to make fly fishing some kind of fancy, elite club. This sport’s for everybody. So, we’ll keep things clear and easy to follow. Think of it like you’re learning from a buddy at the bar. There’s no pretense, no jargon. Just solid advice, with a touch of personality.

Who’s Behind This?

We’re just a group of folks who love the sport and want to help others find that same joy. We’re not claiming to be God’s gift to the sport—we’ve learned a lot from spending time out on the water, but we’re still picking up new tricks ourselves. We’re here to pass on what we know so we can get you catching more fish.
