New York's Ausable River "Big River"
Fly Fishing School
Get The Most From Your Adirondack Fly Fishing Experience
Saturday, September 9th
The
Hungry Trout Fly Shop on the banks of New York's Ausable
River invites you to our Big River School,
Saturday, September 9. Learn the secrets of fishing
big pocket water, slicks, seams and banks. Find out
how to catch the illusive big trout in the Ausable River.
The
differences between fly fishing Eastern spring creeks,
"limestoners" and freestone streams, and fly fishing
the Ausable River in New York are as numerous and varied
as the differences between driving your car on the turnpike
and successfully taking an Indy car around the track.
Different tactics. Different skills. Bigger flies. Bring
your passion, we'll teach you to translate your knowledge
to big river waters.
Beginners
and experienced anglers will all improve their chances
of hooking and landing New York trout of the Ausable
River. Work with members of the Hungry Trout Guide team
to learn and master the tactics and skills you will
need to be successful on the challenging Ausable River.

per person tuition includes use of school rod/reel,
instructors, printed material, river map, and one complimentary

”Watching a good caster or angler on a stream will
teach you more in 20 minutes that you can learn
reading 20 pages.” Time on the water is the best
teacher. TCO offers learning opportunities for anglers
of all ages and levels of experience. Click here
