Northwest Youth Conservation and Fly Fishing Academy
June 21 - 28, 2025
Shelton, Washington

Accepted applicants  will participate in  fly casting and tying classes on beginner and intermediate tracks plus 26 other classes and activities that cover everything from what fly to use, how to read a rise, how the gear all works together, river hydraulics, and why it’s important to maintain and improve our fisheries.  The academy experience will propel students on a journey to becoming confident and effective fly fishers as well as future conservation stewards of the aquatic. The academy has been helping kids become better fly fishers since 2002.   We are proud to be a youth education program of the Washington Council of Trout Unlimited, a 501 (c)3 non-profit organization.  

The 2024 academy students and staff happily give a big THANK YOU to our Councils, Fly Clubs, TU Chapters, business and individual supporters.
