  • FLY FISHING GUIDE TRIPS AT INTERNATIONAL ANGLER
    We have two new Pennsylvania registered guides in the stable. Joe Clark And Josh Miller.
    With John Stanton and Leo Vensel and our local guide partners we have many options for your guided day trips. A great gift for Father’s Day call the shop and buy him a guided Fly Fishing trip.
    JOE CLARK
    Joe grew up in the hills of western Pennsylvania. Being home-schooled he was able to spend the majority of his youth beside the woods, streams, and lakes. These days, chasing wild trout has become his passion.  As a member of Team Freestone and a instructor of the US Youth Fly Fishing Team, Joe has honed his skill and enjoyed the many benefits of a fly fishing community. When indoors, Joe also enjoys playing and writing music which is heavily influenced by time spent on the water.
    Josh Miller
    Josh Miller, Coach of the Eastern Region for the US Youth Fly Fishing Team, is from Ross Township, PA. Josh got his “feet wet” at age 10 when he took a fly tying class from a local fly shop. He spent his youth exploring the streams of Northern Pennsylvania. Josh is a member of Fly Fishing Team USA and has worked as an assistant coach, and instructor, with Team USA Youth. He is also a “Signature Fly Tyer” for The Orvis Company.

    International Angler offers a wide range of Fly Fishing education such as guided day trips and casting lessons to help you advance in your Fly Fishing enjoyment.
    April 5 FF101 FREE
    April 26 Women’s FF101 FREE
    May 10 FF101 FREE
    You might have heard that fly fishing is just for trout but nothing could be further from the truth. You can catch sunfish on a farm pond with fly tackle. You can catch bass and pike. You can even use a fly rod in salt water for fish like striped bass, bonefish, and even huge gamefish like tuna and marlin. It just takes a little adjustment to your tackle.
    You might have also heard that fly fishing is expensive and complicated. Let’s see just how simple it can be. In this class, you’ll learn how fly and spin fishing differ, how to make the basic overhead cast and a roll cast, and a little about the history of fly fishing. You’ll learn the two basic knots you will use every time you go fly fishing. You’ll also learn about the bare essentials you need to get started in this fun and addictive sport.
    This is free mini-class held at the store. Must pre-register.
