World Class Fly Fishing School On-The-Water: Spain 2025 with David Arcay

Description

Smart Angling is excited to present the 2025 on-the-water edition of the World Class Fly Fishing School, offering a one-of-a-kind chance to fish Spain’s technical trout streams with five-time world champion David Arcay.

Limited to six spots, first come first serve! Please e-mail us at [email protected] to confirm the availability of spots and register.

The program will include classes and practice on the Spanish nymphing and dry fly techniques, competition strategies and fly tying. The school will take place on the wild brown trout rivers of the provinces of Galicia and Leon, offering opportunities for technical but rewarding fishing on different types of water, with opportunities for some trophy fish, as well. The class group is limited to 6 persons, allowing for ample one-on-one time on the water with the instructors each day. David will be joined by fellow instructor Javi Lopez, another of Spain’s top anglers and an extraordinarily skillful professional fly tyer.
