Arrive Friday evening for a welcome reception and get settled into your luxury log cabin accommodations. Saturday and Sunday you will take part in a condensed course taught by the institute's Certified Adaptive Fly Fishing Instructors consisting of all three of our fundamental certification programs: casting, fly tying, and adaptive program facilitator. Feel free to spend the night Sunday night and check out Monday morning.
Extra days of guided fishing on SVA's 8 miles of exclusive access to an undeveloped world-class trophy Rainbow and Brown trout spring creek in the Ozark Mountains of Northwest Arkansas are available in limited numbers for an additional cost. Inquire at time of booking. SVA's Home Waters Club is catch-and-release only. The trout are wild, not stocked. And the water in Spavinaw Creek is gin-clear! You truly have to see this wonder to believe it is in the middle of the country and virtually unknown. See www.springvalleyanglers.com for details on the fishing, lodging, meals, and pro shop.
