Dry Run Creek Academy

Dry Run Creek Academy is pleased to announce the 2026 season. The first two seasons were a wonderful success with 100 student registrations.

The Academy provides three levels of instruction - Brook, Rainbow and Brown and the fourth level Cutthroat where students must show they've caught the four species of trout. See the Student Cards below for more information.

We also offer a Dry Run Creek Jr Academy level for youth ages 6 to 8 that introduces them and their parents to the basics of fly fishing.
