smash thru the fly fishing learning curve

Fly fishing comes with a steep learning curve!   There are no naturals and everyone has to start somewhere.
 
Great fisherman are made, not born.
 
Starting a new hobby can be exhilarating... and it's often this beginner's excitement that helps push through the pain of learning a new skill.
 
Daring new anglers quickly learn how difficult fly fishing can be...
 
How do I tie on flies and which one should I use?
 
How do I cast this long whippy thing?
 
Where on the river do I look for fish?
 
Why is everyone around me catching fish and I'm not?
 
And son of a @#!%$... if I get one more fly stuck on one more tree branch, I'm gonna lose it!
 
Sadly, most quit too early... not knowing that if they would have pushed a little harder and dug a little deeper, sprinkled with a little guidance and direction, they would have soon found the success they desired.
 
A handful of resilient newbies push through the pain and eventually become skilled anglers... but that often takes a year or two of persistence.
 
They'll look back and realize that if they would have known what they know now, they could have shortcutted their way to success. Their skills could far surpass where they are now.
 
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
 
We're here to make sure that beginners succeed at fly fishing — the easiest and fastest way we know how.
 

Not all starter packs are created equal...

Beginners must make a big purchasing decision when first getting started. Sifting through the internet, you'll be led to one of two options:

A cheaper, no-name starter set or an expensive, "name brand" starter set.  Spoiler alert  - each leads to a false start in time and money.

cheap starter packs

Pros

■   Save $$$ on day 1

cons

■   Ticking time bomb until everything breaks
 
■   False start - left right where you were, but with a few hundred $$$ less in your bank account
 
■   No warranty
 
■   Incomplete package - you'll spend more $$$ to get everything you need
 
■   No flies (or very few)
 
■   Will need an immediate upgrade

expensive "name brand" starter packs

Pros

■   A couple of good items
 
■   A select few (even more expensive) have rod warranties

cons

■   Expensive
 
■   Incomplete package - you'll spend even more $$$ to get everything you need
 
■   Most of your $$$ went into the "name brand" and not the quality of the equipment. You got the company's low end products
 
■   No flies (or very few)

The knowlege problem

Fish are intelligent, and catching them is a challenge — no matter your skill level.

There are so many places that you can learn about fly fishing. Where do beginners start?

The cheap and expensive "name brand" starter packs (discussed earlier), leave their users alone without any guidance or direction on how to fly fish. 

Beginners must scour the internet and spend countless hours in search of Youtube videos, articles, blogs, and books.

You'll be left wondering who you should listen to, watch, read, or trust.

Lifetime Warranty Details

 

"I'm impressed by the quality of the equipment. It appeared to be expensive at first, but after realizing how much more stuff it came with and the grade of equipment you get, this is a steal. Gave me everything to get me started for a while. Great set, I highly recommend."

- Thomas B.

"I recently just got into fly fishing and was looking for a good starter set. I shopped all around the internet and chose this one. These guys know what a beginner needs! Everything feels premium especially the fly rod. Good selection of flies. I found their beginner guide to be very helpful and even helped me catch fish my first time out. If you’re looking to get into fly fishing look no further."

- Connor C.

"I recently purchased the Weekend Warrior package. Years ago I bought a Cabela's branded fly rod and reel for about the same price. It was time to get a new fly rod and pass my old one on to my son. I have been so impressed with the new fly rod from Ventures Fly Co. It's a significantly better rod and reel than my old Cabela's rod. And for the same price, I got a full package that also included the fly line, leaders, tippet, 100+ flies, sling pack, net, and all the little extras you need to fish. Huge value - I highly recommend it!! "

- Stephen A.
