A Family Friendly Event
This event isn't just for dads. Bring your friends, family, or make it a date. We have fun clinics focused on youth, dedicated women's lessons, and lots of adventure education seminars inside. There is something for everyone here at the Rendezvous.
Have a friend that is ready to learn? Bring them. This is a perfect opportunity to groom your next fishing partner.
LOCALLY RELEVANT CLINICS
Our goal is to help your entire family or crew become more successful, knowledgeable, and capable anglers. Plus we will all have a great time doing it! Learn, cast, eat, drink, and laugh with us.
There is a line-up of short, but highly focused clinics that will include both "where to" and "how to" discussions on fishing all of the popular species found within a reasonable drive of Red's Fly Shop.
"THIS IS THE BEST EVENT IN FLY FISHING. CAST RODS, HAVE FUN, LEARN, AND LAUGH WITH US!"
FLY TYING THEATER
Inside the lodge we will have featured tyers teaching everything from the very basic steps to get started, all the way to some fun, fishy, and advanced techniques.
