Fly Fishing Schools ~ Alaska fly fishing Guide SchoolsAlaska Adventures Professional Fly Fishing Guide Schools 2007 Curriculum Fly fishing schools & Fly fishing Guide School Depending on the specific class size and prior experience of students the school has the ability to change and to pick up or drop off certain curriculum aspects. There are distinct differences and unique skills that are practiced by an Alaska guides and we work towards your ultimate proficiency in all of them. By the end of this school you will have all the skills and experienced needed to begin your new career as a fishing guide, and more specifically an Alaska fishing guide. There are horror stories that I am sure you have heard about guiding in Alaska and we are here steer you in the right direction. Our 20 years of operating in Alaska gives us the ability to give you information about just about every lodge, outfitting business, and specific region in Alaska. Being an Alaska Fishing guide takes more then just waking up in the morning jumping in a boat and being on the water for 8 hours, then coming back to camp and eating dinner. Our remote Alaska fishing camp is a modern marvel and it takes good fishing guides to keep running it but also demands well rounded outdoorsmen, boaters, mechanics, and people that work well with groups in a family oriented atmosphere. We differ from other school that just put you in drift boat with one of their "weekend warrior" guides and float you down a river. You will become involved in the every day activities as an Alaska fishing guide. Our opinion is that you learn by doing, and you will quickly be put in situations where you have to learn. With safety in mind first you will learn how a remote Alaska camp is run day to day. You will shadow our professional guides in all the things that keep our camp running. From tying off floatplanes that transporting clients upriver, gas, supplies, and set up of the lodge we call home for five months. Job Placement after our fly fishing guide schools Once one has the tools to be a well rounded guide, how does one find employment? Designed by our instructors, guides, and business school graduates, our job placement is intended to help our students find employment suited specifically for them. A professional resume, references, and sample e-mails to potential lodges and outfitters are constructed. In addition to searching via the internet for the right employment we work directly with numerous top lodges and outfitters in Alaska and in the lower 48. It is important to know that 95% of all guides in Alaska are hired by March 1st. The process of becoming a professional fishing or hunting guide takes time and there is no quick fix. What sets our guide school apart from other is that our company is growing and there are opportunities to grow with us. Our top guide school graduate for the 2007 season is guaranteed employment or internship with Alaska Adventures.
