Wulff School of Fly Fishing ranks among the oldest fly fishing schools in the country, having trained hundreds of students ranging from beginners to experts in enhancing their technique and understanding of the sport. Whether you’re a newcomer or seeking to improve your casting skills, attending the Wulff School is a worthwhile investment for your future enjoyment of fly fishing.
Located in the Catskills—the birthplace of dry-fly fishing in America—the school is set on the renowned Beaverkill River. Its 100-acre property in the upper Beaverkill Valley offers a picturesque landscape of forests, meadows, and ponds. The facility was intentionally designed for teaching, with an adjacent private segment of the Beaverkill used for lessons in wading, streamcraft, and obstacle casting.
Students with extra time can explore fishing opportunities on the Delaware River’s main stem and its East and West branches, as well as in the trout-rich no-kill zones of the Beaverkill and Willowemoc.
