I have been teaching these classes for the Davis Community school for more than 16 years. It has been a marvelous experience. I have had such a good time meeting and fishing with so many wonderful people. The positive feedback I get from teaching the class has been far more rewarding than I ever could have imagined. This has been a special chapter in my life and I'm not sure I will ever enjoy something as much as I have enjoyed teaching these classes.

ADVANCED FLY FISHING
Spring 2008 Held at Davis High

7:15 - 9:45 pm
10 hrs. of class time - 32 hrs. riverside.
Class Fee: $125

Register early, every class has sold out in the past.
Call or Email Mike Navidomskis 801-497-9356 (email: wildtrouts@aol.com)

This is an advanced fly-fishing class for those students who have had the beginning class or have had ample fly-fishing experience. The course will delve deeper into the sport's subtle techniques and explore the fine lines of success. Less time will be spent in the classroom with more time on the water. There will be four field fishing experiences. The trips are to Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana. Much of the classroom attention will be spent on the entomology specific to the areas to be fished. The student will tie all the flies to be used during the field work. The fishing experience will focus on other fly fishing destinations outside of Utah, water reading, fly-presentation, strike detection and subtle tricks. Also, landing and releasing techniques will be discussed.
(We'll tie lots of flies!)
Note: The advanced class is incredibly fun and sells out quickly. It is reserved for graduates from the Beginning classes. Click here for the Advanced page!

This is an advance fly fishing class for those students that have had all of the beginning and advance courses taught by Mike Navidomskis. The Extreme Class, although new, is destined to be the premiere class offered in the fly fish school. It is a travel based class that has become the most popular class tought. The trips are two day fishing excursions to7 (8) of the best fly fishing destinations in North America. The class will teach the student strategies and techniques needed to fish in these various locations. This year's class is very ambitious with destinations that include: the Gallatin River in Montana, the Roaring Fork River in Colorado, the Salmon River in Idaho, the Big Horn River in Montana, the Elk River in British Columbia, the Snake River in Idaho, and the Missouri River in Montana.

The classroom curriculum will cover the techniques and entomology specific to each location. Furthermore, the students will be provided a list of flies common to the region and class time will be spent teaching the student how to tie the needed fly patterns. The student will also be afforded ample time in which to prepare for these great fly fishing rivers.

To me personally, traveling with the Fly Fishing Club has been the highlight of my year. Due to the popularity and success of the class, I would like to broaden the class horizons by adding new destinations every year. To explore further about the class destinations or to read about past Extreme Class trips, visit the Extreme Class link. There you will find great details about our fishing prospects, reviews of most journeys past and view photos of Extreme Class students past and present. -mike Click here for the Extreme page!

The Extreme Class travel will be through the "Fly Fishing Club." The Fly Fishing Club is a local, private, non-profit group that supports the Extreme Fly Fishing Class while fishing out of the state of Utah. Joining the Extreme Class, affords the student full membership into the Fly Fishing Club. As with all the fishing classes taught, excursions outside of the classroom are in no way connected to Davis Community School. Note: while traveling with the Fly Fishing Club each student is an independent private individual.

Due to liability concerns of the School District regarding possible injury on the river, the fees of the classroom and river fieldtrips have been separated. However, the cost of the Beginning courses remains the same ($85) regardless of whether or not river trips are attended. Please be assured that the student's safety is the instructor's highest concern and to date there has never been an injury to any student. That having been said, certain risks are inherent to any outdoor activity; such as Fishing. Therefore one needs to understand that the fieldwork associated with this class is, "at your own risk."

Note: The fishing trips are non-guided. The students fish, "on their own," and at, "their own risk." There is no one fee for each fishing trip. No student has paid for any one trip. Nor is any student required to attend any one trip. The trips are volunteer only. No trip, is in anyway associated, with Davis High School or Davis School district. Students fishing, are on their own and are only fishing under the rights purchased by, and afforded by, the states fishing license and are not the responsibility of anyone but the purchaser of the fishing license themselves.
