TIRED OF PLAYING CHUCK AND HOPE? Sign up for the Little Lehighs Fly Fishing Lessons. The course consists of five units. Each unit builds on the prior one, giving the student time to practice, develop the necessary motor skills and digest the wealth of knowledge he will be exposed to. Sessions last 1 hour and continue at the students pace until all five units ate completed. Practice makes perfect if its perfect practice. If it isn't perfect practice, it's counter productive. You will leave each session knowing how to tell if your practicing perfectly. All sessions are conducted by Rod Rohrbach. Rod has fished, tyed and learned from renowned flyfishing personalities such as Gary Borger, Lefty Kreh, Gary LaFontaine, Ernest Schwiebert, Charlie Meck, Barry & Cathy Beck, Ed Jaworowski, Ed Schenk, Oliver Edwards, Bob Clouser, Jack Gartside, A.K. Best and Larry Duckwall. For more information about Rod and the shop click on the "About us" tab on our web site, LittleLehighFlyShop.com. All lessons are available by appointment.
